Jack

Jack was our assessment from today! This Labrador Retriever weighs seventy pounds, and is one in a half years old. Jack joined our Large Dog Program bright 'n early this morning, with curiosity and wonder in his eyes. He had a good overall day, and even made a buddy; what's funny about his new friend, is he looks just like him! Check out Chedder, who has been coming to The Fort since 2014.

Jack is welcome to come back whenever he wants! Have a good evening,

- Elsa -

Today Fort Fido's team met up with, Elsa, bright and early for her assessment. She is a spunky, seven month old, sixty pound, Rottweiler. This high-energy young canine, is coming to The Fort to hone her social skills and drain off some of her extra energy. Elsa had surgery about a month back, and has been a bit cooped-up and sedated ever since... However, you'd never know it by the looks of her! She was ready and raring to go this morning, especially after being introduced to the Big Roll Play Area. Inside, Elsa wiggled and wagged her whole body, happily greeting each and every pack member that arrived. For a young dog that hasn't been too socialized, she did a darn good job at "meeting and greeting". Elsa even made friends, and played, with Chedder, and several others, within minutes of her arrival.

 Here, Elsa and Chedder get into Beast Mode together.

We believe that Elsa can grow up into a very social, calm and well balanced adult dog. Rottweilers, are what we here at The Fort call, "a lot of dog". In the wrong hands, and with the wrong set of "rules", they can quickly become unpleasant and hard to manage. The reason, is because they are an extremely smart, strong, and athletic "Power Breed"... One with brute-strength, and a headstrong attitude, particularly, when in the presence of weak leadership. Given time, consistency, a strict routine, and very strong leadership, today's Elsa can thrive. Fort Fido is happy to have her join our ranks because she had a really good time here. We hope that she can be kept on the right track and can continue to blossom. You go girl!

Enjoy your weekend, and the Superbowl, if that's your thing.

GO HAWKS!

P.S. We have plenty of room here at Fort Fido on Superbowl Sunday. Several of our customers are in Arizona for the game, and many more will be dropping their canines off for Daycare and or Overnight Boarding around Sunday... You know... To keep them out of the queso dip lol! Feel free to have your canine pal join us.

P.P.S. That reminds me, if you are having or attending a party for the Big Game, please keep Fido out of the snacks! Make sure your friends and family do the same. Monday after the Superbowl tends to be a Dog-Daycare-Diarrhea-Fest, and nobody wants that. Here, dogs with diarrhea get crated, and don't get to play as much, nobody wants that either. ;)

All about that action!

We took some first-rate clips today....

Upstairs, it was business as usual in the Little Roll.

Pancake and Bailey became new pals in the Medium Roll Play Area...

And the Big Roll had it's normal share of pretty much nonstop dog-play-action. Oliver, Espy, Chedder, Jackson, Nevada, Della, Ryker and Reilly, just to name a few, were having a good old time.

Today, I'd also like to add this awesome clip of our boy, Brix, picking this year's Super Bowl Winner.

Hahaha, very cool, good on ya boy, GO HAWKS! Thanks to Brix's owner, Lisa, for sending this in.

I'll cap this post off with one dog-funny I saw this morning.

Here's "Patient dog entertains baby goat"

Take care,

P.S. If you have any fun pictures or videos of your canine buddy(s), please email them to me so we can show them off on the Blog, we love doing that!

Cheesin' it with Chedder

(Mmm... Tillamook lol. Wrong type of "CheddAr", sorry, we're talking about the dog here...)

Get a load of Chedder! He is a hardy, two year old, seventy-pound, yellow, Labrador Retriever, that had his assessment today. Chedder brought his happy-go-lucky disposition in with him to the Big Roll. Once inside the play area, he met up with Theodore. The two hit it off instantly, ripping around and playing hard. Chedder is an extremely social dog, that is fluent in canine communication. He's the type that just wants to play, and have a good old time with any other dog that's receptive. Lucky for Chedder, there were several fun dogs in today that he got to mix it up with. All in all, The Fort scored an outstanding new Big Roll pack member... Way to go Chedder! You are welcome to Fort Fido anytime and we hope to see you again soon.

Here are two sweet clips of Chedder enjoying himself.

Take it easy,
