Car and Dog Wash!

As some of you know, on Saturday a few of the girls and I decided that it was well and truly time to try a Car Wash and Dog Wash!

Budget car rentals helped us out by donating all the washing materials, and Cook Islands Television put some ads on for us, and by Saturday morning, the amount of queries and requests we had received in regards to it was starting to scare us that we would be overwhelmed!
Indeed there were a few moments where there was a queue, but all around things went incredibly smoothly. Plenty of dogs turned up, some that had never had a bath in their lives (this worked in our favour sometimes, decidedly not at others!), and many utes/cars that had definitely never seen the touch of a sponge!


Predictably, water fights ensued (to be fair, it was 34 degrees!) and, while it was hot work, we had a lot of fun. People were incredibly generous, and in a four hour car wash we made a little over $350 - this turns into $525 with the Estelle Friedman Gervis Family Foundation matching 50% of our donations (don't forget this is only lasts until Friday so if you are able to help out, get in quick while your donations is even more valuable to us)!

For those that missed out this weekend, don't worry, we had so much fun there is sure to be another car wash in the near future! :-)
