A little Angel

 

Well, this year's Fall Fun/Safety Day photos will have to wait...

I must introduce you to Angel, who had her Assessment today at The Fort. She is a seven month old, twenty pound, Puggle and Terrier Mix. Although this picture doesn't do Angel justice, her face does live up to her name lol, she's a real cutie! This kindly little dog-gal, is small in stature yet has a bit of a "wild side". We were told she plays with a German Shepherd quite regularly. Given that info, we chose to let Angel try out The Medium Roll. Once she got settled in there, she meandered, exploring the play area slowly. She soon got to meet with Bogie and Petey, who pulled out all the stops to get her to play. Being that it was her first day at Dog Daycare, Angel was a wee bit timid, and never ended up playing. You could see however, that she wanted to play. Angel got along just fine with the other dogs, it was just that she was a little over whelmed by the experience. We believe that she just needs some time and consistency, here at Fort Fido, to really blossom. Working with Angel on her slight Separation Anxiety, will also help her become, and stay, the "Dog's Dog" that she truly is. She'll definitely play here, it's only a matter of time... Especially once more of a routine is established at home, and for visiting here. Not a bad job today Angel, we plan to see you again, and see you bust out into some play soon!

Take care,

Clip it up!

From today's ruckus rolls... All kinds of fun!

In the Big Roll, we had "Ollie" being the usual clown with his buddy Jasper. Theodore had a great time, along with Brix, Jackson, Gage, and many others.

 

 

From the Medium Roll, we have a nice clip of "Bogart" and Yuki running amok.

Upstairs in the Little Roll Play area, Miguel, got the whole pack to party down... She also has a couple of "boyfriends" in Buckwheat and Rusty lol!

 

 

Be well,

I-N-V-U-4-U-R-A-Q-T

Yuck, yuck, yuck...

Here are the little "QT's" from today's upstairs roll... Don't let them fool you though, these Muppets are fierce (in a healthy way of course lol)! Once they enter Fort Fido and meetup with the pack, they become 110% Canine, "all dog" if you will. ;)





There was also a short clip of Barkley, Bogie and Lucy having a good old time downstairs in the Medium Roll.



Cheers,

Happy Friday Clips

Four fun clips from today, three from the Medium Roll (It was game-on in there today lol) and one from the Big.

Bogie, KC and Zipper romped for quite some time this morning.



Pupcake took on young buck Zipper for some vigorous play as well.



Finn and brother Ozzy were up to their normal, knuckle-headed games, in the Big Roll haha.



Buddha hadn't been in for awhile but came back today for some Fort Fido action. Welcome back old buddy, it sure looks like you had a blast today.



Please enjoy your weekend, it's gonna be nice out!

-Grant

P.S. If you are looking for something to do this weekend... Why not hit up one of The 79th Annual Daffodil Festival Parades? The Band and I will be in first rate form, come say hello. It is a fun-filled day of spring and a true South Puget Sound tradition.

My heartfelt condolences to all involved in the Daffodil Festival... Specifically the Queen, Princesses, friends and family of Miss Alexandria Cole. Rest in peace dear.

As we slow down a bit...

Whoa, a day without a new dog starting lol. Time to catch our breath. :)


I caught some cute pictures last week of my folks and new pup Rocky. They were safeguarding his tender little feat with some Musher's Secret. Sometimes, a dog new to The Fort, that isn't used to a rubber floor, will play sooo hard that their pads get a little sore. Musher's Secret prevents this, among other things, it is an awesome product!


Here is a clip from today for good measure. Mother Maggie visited the Medium Roll today for a change. Bogie was all over her and she had no problem handling him.



Take it easy,

A Boston Bash

Our Boston Terriers met today and it went magnificently. New Boston gal Lucy tried out the Medium Roll with Bogie and Sofee. Lucy did awesome with the medium pack and had one heck of a hoopla. This is probably where she'll stay for now. Lucy gets much more out of Dog Daycare this way. Here are two clips showing just a bit of the Terrier action. Please excuse Mini Poodle Oliver, he had a quick mounting session before I could say anything hahaha.





Have a great day, enjoy that sun.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hoping you all have a very Happy Valentine's Day. Much love to all the puppies and of course my extra special wife, love you, lol! ;)


Do enjoy this day with your special someone!

-Grant
P.S. Bogie has a new break-dance move you gotta see haha!



Also, a wonderful past customer of ours sent us a link to an awesome video. Walking 16 dogs, too cool, that looks like fun!

A neat link and two clips

A couple weeks ago, Rainier's ma, Joyce, sent me a link to an awesome video. It's titled, Useful Dog Tricks 2 performed by Jesse the Jack Russell Terrier. Wow! Too cool, that Jesse is one smart canine and he also has one hell of an owner. Great job! Those Jack Russell Terriers sure are cute but you gotta be on your game to own one.


Attained two outstanding clips this morning.

One from the Big Roll, everyone is ramming and jamming in this clip. Looks like fun!



Almost every time I looked in the Medium Roll today, there was a wild group just having a blast. Bogie, Gus, Pupcake and Tikvah, were an animated quartet indeed!



Have a great day,

-Grant

Monday's clips and news

~ Boogie Down With Bogie ~

Get a load of Bogie!

He is a darling, spunky, three month old, fourteen pound, Boston Terrier that had his assessment at Fort Fido this morning. This pup was something else... Bogie came in looking all sweet and innocent but his true colors shined in a short amount of time haha. He tore it up (played hard) instantly with the best that the Little Roll had to offer. We are certain that Bogie will be heading down to the Medium Roll rather soon, it's a good thing, he's ready for the next level of play! Hopefully Bogie will get a chance to meet Mama Beija before he goes Medium. He had a boisterously fun time here and we look forward to seeing him again soon.

Enjoy your day,

-Grant
P.S. Here is just a taste of the Little Bogster in action... I'm sure there will be some better clips of this guy in time, he's an animal. Also, he was tricky to get a picture of, you could imagine why, he was surging with life and ready to roam. There's never time for a photo-op lol.
