Description

Hydro Dog

 

 

Can you show me some great hydro-dog mobile dog baths?
 
I have an interest in photography as well as geocaching and would like to see if you can photograph some hydro-dogs in the street.
 
Please take a picture with GPS if they are parked on the street. I will accept photos without a GPS if they are driving along on the road.
 
Please use the coordinate and location as well.
 
Happy Hunting.

Must have seen a dozen or more of these in my travels but never been in a position to take a photo before.
Today was in Latrobe in NW Tassie when one pulled up on the side of the road. While the owner was in the house collecting the dog to be washed I grabbed the required photo.
Thanks.

Out and about doing some of the caches on the Rattler trail and a pampered pooch van pulled over near where we were parked near Rattler #33. By the time I got the camera out and we got a bit closer they were trying do a runner so the photo is a little blurry. TFTL

We were driving along Moggill Road in Brisbane Qld and we had followed this one from the traffic lights at Indooroopilly but he was in the third lane and we were in lane one and finally caught up to him at Kenmore and he decided to turn right so this is the best photo I could obtain.

Walked almost past this one while doing something Geocaching related, then realized this was in fact a locationless. Got the camera out and had to explain to the owner what I was doing and asked for permission to photograph the Hydro Dog. On Sir Henry's Parade in Faulconbridge, NSW.

364. FFP is a very good photographer. Unfortunately only had the iPhone and we were traveling at around (+/-10km) 100kph. Still managed to mark a waypoint and get the photo of my new Montana. Oh' and there's a dog wash trailer up ahead.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 48 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at Nightcliff Sports Club for a couple of hours of line dancing. I was heading for GC1CV1B Where there's a hill by Groboz, when I spotted this HydroDog on Stoddart Drive Bayview.

I think this was the same HydroDog, "Oscar", which I had previously spotted in front of the Casuarina Police Station.

Found one at the shops today. (Conder, ACT)
Which was also VERY close to Southside Drive By (GC1AYYK) (Not even 100m away. Grabbed the coords from that!)

I think it lives up the road from me normally. (I'm not too entirely sure...not going to start stalking the neighbours to find out!), as i see it around my own neighbourhood (Calwell, couple of kms away)

No GPS in photo, but my iPhone should be able to be seen from the mirror of my car Smile

I was on my way to the event at Shellharbour when I took a wrong turn & lo & behold saw my first ever hydro dog. There must have been a dog inside as could hear a vacuum cleaner or something. Either that or it was being cleaned. Very elaborate. Thanks.

Sharon and her lovely staff at SHAMPOOCH in Echuca usually come to my house and wash my big girl Sheeba while I'm at work. Missed them this month so had to go to their office to pay account, which is were I took this shot. Sorry missed the GPS in the shot but did get the co-ords.

On my way to search for 'Ode to Brethren' in Meadowbank, I couldn't believe what was driving along New Line Road in front of me -- a Hydro Dog trailer!

Not remembering that I didn't have to have my GPSr showing in the photo if I took the required photo while driving, I followed the trailer until it came to a stop near Cherrybrook -- and snapped the attach picture.

I don't own a dog but am sure this service is of use to many people. Especially people with many dogs -- or dogs that don't like to take bath.

Mrs. pjmpjm and I own four Persian cats and we only wish there were a similar service for them! It would certainly save a log of aggravation and scatched arms!

Anyhow, what a nice surprise to find a 7th unexpected cache today!

Was in Kingston, Tasmania; on our way to have Kentucky Fried "Seagull" for tea before continuing on to my parents at Huonville when this "Blue Puppy" popped up in front of us. A cache beckon'd; unable to resist the opporchancity; the attached pics were taken for the log. Cheers OldSaint.

Time for my dog Lucky to have grooming and bath. Looks much better for her during the summer.

Saw this one pull into a Nerang driveway at tail end of Friday and pulled over to get a shot. The driver had a shirt in the same colour as the van. I thought the name "Urban Dog Wash" had a sort of cool about it, as opposed to rather cutesy names some of them have.

Found it after work at Emerald.

Saw this one in action and had to stop. Poor little pooch looked so bedraggled - little dogs always shrink when they're washed. As it turned out the dog was quite used to his bath and behaved very well. He finished off with a nice blowdry. Some of these have hilarious names and I hope to find more of them. Thanks for the fun on this one.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 158 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, driving around Chipping Norton Lake, when I saw this dog was in a driveway on Silverwater Crescent Lansvale. It is now "Di's Dog Wash" but it was once "Jim's".

Report: Found this Hydro-Dog Mobile just before it took off while walking thorough Annadale this morning. Always nice to find a random locationless on route to a physical cache. Not as pretty as some of the others, but still functional Wink

No No No
I saw several of these in last three days and thought what a pity I couldn't get a find. I was busy looking at the names on the vans/baths.
Never even thought of making it a locationless.
So once again bristracker has to say Doh
