Courageous Kalohe

Kalohe, is an extremely adorable and fierce little, Fawn-Colored, English Bulldog puppy. He had his assessment early this morning. This little guy is full of spunk and courage, he had no qualms about taking on our Medium Roll. From Dobermans to Labradors, Kalohe, played hard and long with many different pack members. We sent him home quite tired lol! Dog Daycare will be very beneficial to Kalohe for his early socialization. We are pleased to take care of him, while helping him grow into a well-balanced adult dog. Lucky for us, Kalohe will be boarding with us soon, we can't wait! This pup is too cute for his own good and a lot of fun in one tough package.

Checkout these two fantastic clips of the ever-so-active Kalohe, meeting Finley (Kelsey's new puppy) and Emily.

Cool Clips and a Happy Birthday to Tazzie!

One from the Big Roll and three from the Medium Roll... Sorry Little Roll, we'll get ya soon! ;)

Mollie and Ziva, among many others we had in there today, were getting along like two peas in a pod.



New puppy-boy Bear has been branching out nicely. Here he starts to romp with Macs and Otto.



Emily and Phoebe are best friends. They are a very good match as far as size and play-style are concerned... You can see what I mean in this clip.



Another set of best buds, Barkley and Diego roughhouse a lot when they meet, usually twice a week.





Happy Birthday to Miss Tazzie! She turned the big "five years old" today. Her ma Lisa was kinda enough to bring in treats for all (Including some for us, thank you kindly!), be sure to grab some treats for your pup on the way out. Sorry, the donuts we received are pretty much gone lol. :)

Take care,

Cool Clip Saturday

I caught some great clips of the pups at play today. First up is a little clip of Tikvah and Gordon, with a glimpse of Lukas being so patient with excited little Buddah toward the end.


Next we have another one of Tikvah and Gordon--they were best buds today, and it was just hilarious watching the 40-pound (he's gained 20 pounds already!) malamute pup roll over to play fair with the little ten-pound terrier.


Last is a clip of Buddah and Emily, who are a great match. They have very similar energy levels, and play well together. That's probably why there are so many clips of them doing just that! They are great friends, whenever they are here together.


Have a great weekend!

- Clip Day -

Check out these great clips from The Rolls today!

Up first is one of Boxer Sam and Yellow Lab Big-Boy Ryker sharing in some fun.



Two from the Medium Roll.

Gordon, Jasmine, Emily and Marley were tearing it up, a very normal occurrence lol.



Barkley and Niko have been buddies for some time now, Jasmine, has also been welcomed into their session.



Upstairs was your daily crazy-ball-time. The Littles sure learn how to retrieve well due to the constant stream of tossed-toys. It's fun up there, for the dogs and the "Wrangler".



One more clip from the Little Roll features busy-gal Samarah enjoying a jolly time with the loveable Gherie. ;)

Jocular Jasmine

Say hello to Jasmine. She is a four month old, twenty-three pound, Black/with white, Labrador Retriever that assessed this morning. Jasmine loved playing in our Medium Roll. With her age, size, temperament and play-style, doggie daycare appears to be the epitome of what she wants and needs right now. It'll give her owner a bit of a break too, always good, as this loveable canine has tons of energy! Pup Jasmine is a perfect fit in our pack, she has many similarities to happy-go-lucky medium roller Emily. She did a first rate job today, go Jasmine, you are welcome back anytime!

Cheers,

-Grant

P.S. Check this clip of Jasmine meeting her first new-dog-friend... The "Bad Boy" Hunter! ;) As you can see, they are both having a darn good time.

Luckily our new computer has arrived, yeah! We should be up and running with our new system in a couple of days. We are doing everything with a laptop right now and it is nice but not ideal. Blogger is having some issues with the laptop's browser/operating system. Hope was unable to get a Blog Post going on Saturday and I'm having trouble with this one lol.

For now, let us checkout a few clips from today.

In the Medium Roll, Emily, Mimi and Zeus busted moves off and on all day long. They are a quite the trio of pals.



From the Big Roll, Louis and Popo romp hard as usual.



Upstairs in the Little Roll we get another glimpse of "newbie" Phoebe Marie doing well. Here she does her best to get Lucy to play with her.



Enjoy the start of your week, looks like good weather shall be returning soon! At least we don't have to water anything today. ;)

Four Fun Clips! ! ! !

One from the Little Roll featuring new pups Chloe and Pearl. We are seeing more and more out of these two after each visit. Although not captured on film, Chloe and Pearl did do some play-bows today, that is always a very good sign. Quite sure that these two frisky fillies will be ruff-housing with the best of them soon.



Our other three clips are from the Medium Roll.

The first one is a great cross-section of the fun-loving and playful dogs that we had in there today.



Another from the Medium side, Emily, Libby and Marley tearing it up together!



Last but not least, puppy Zeus had his paws full today, battling Golden Retriever Mollie and Emily from both ends. Haha, it's gotta be the clip of the day.

Video Clips

Two from the Big Roll.

Abby and Stella are two frequent visitors of The Fort. They are best buddies, knowing how to play hard and fast... Sometimes we have to step in and slow them down a bit ;) . These two swell dogs deffinitely get in a full-body workout everyday they are here.



Two young shepherds, Jake and Ziva, had a bit of a love-affair today. It's neat to see the two playing together. Osbourne ends this one with a wind-sprint lol.



Two from our Medium Roll as well.

Miss Bella (check her gorgeous photo out on another website) and young rebel-rouser Zeus demonstrated their fair and balanced play early in the afternoon.



Meanwhile... Emily, Gibson and Jaeger were a surprising trio that got along well.



Take it easy,

wrestling clips of the day

One from the Medium Roll featuring a hard to beat tag-team of Lab pup Emily and Black Pug Cooper. Those two were battling it out against Fort Fido old timers Bella and Lucy. From this clip it sure looks like Emily and Cooper will be walking away with the title hahaha!



Upstairs was a triple-threat-match with Little Buddy, Miss Mia and the original Bad-Boy Miller. I'm not too sure who the victor was in this one, the only thing I do know is that this trio should sleep well tonight!

My favorite clip...

Of the day and some links to some great articles found today.

This one is from the Medium Roll. It shows Lucy and Patty becoming the best of pals... Meanwhile pup Emily does a fun play-bow-wiggle-dance to entice Faramir (Our very first customer) into play. Cute!

Crazy fun in the Big Roll. Bella, Stella and Abby have a gnarly play session. Checkout Aliisa's smooth moves towards the end, man, she's an agile Airedale!



From the Medium Roll, Barkley and Diego have a good wrestling match. The same goes for Jasmine and Niko, what fun! Our last clip is of Bella the doodle and new Fort Fido Friend Emily having a go.

Elated Emily!

We welcomed a happy-go-lucky new pup to The Fort this morning. Say hello to Emily. She is a ten month old, forty-seven pound, Black, Labrador Retriever.

Emily passed her assessment with flying colors! She came in eager to play and had a very sweet disposition. With a spirited temperament, Emily frolicked in the Medium Roll. She took on all the dogs but especially liked Niko and Chance. Emily played hard, was very social and communicated well with the others in the pack. We are happy to have her and plan on seeing her again soon. Nice job!

Take it easy,

-Grant
