Izzy

This morning we welcomed Izzy into Fort Fido. Izzy is a 2-year-old 8-pound Jack Russell mix. Izzy came in cool-headed and ready to figure out what The Fort was. She went on up into small roll and  determined that The Fort was a place to have fun at. She warmed up and socialized with the pack in small roll, meeting a lot of new friends here. Izzy had a wondrous day and we look forward to seeing her return for more fun.

Enjoy the weather while it lasts ad stay cool,

Our latest members!

Here's a glimpse of our latest Fort Fido Members.

Tommy had his assessment yesterday, he is a regal Jack Russell Terrier, that fits nicely into our Medium Roll. We hope to see some more "play" out of him, but he is doing good.

Today we met Yabisi, or "Yabby". She is a sweet and curious Doberman Pinscher Mix, that is chock-full of energy.

Both Tommy and Yabisi our taking advantage of The Fort's awesome Overnight Boarding soon. If you haven't already, you and your canine companion should give it a go the next time you are out of town. It's really nice, because the dogs get to stay in their play groups throughout the night, and, are monitored by a real-live-human around the clock, 24/7, 365.

Also, remember that our hours never change. No matter the holiday, we are here for you with the same hours, 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM Daily. That is our "13 Hour Daycare Day" and your window for boarding pickups and drop-offs... Talk about convenient!

Have a wonderful weekend,

P.S. If you are looking for some spring fun this weekend, don't forget that tomorrow is the 82nd Annual Daffodil Festival Parade. Drop Fido off here and go check it out! :)

- Vintage Family Photos -

About a year ago, I was lucky enough to inherit some outstanding vintage family photos from my uncle (David's brother). Upon viewing them, I noticed several photos with dogs in them! Delighted, I thought they would make for a neat blog post. The following pictures are from my Grandmother's and Grandfather's (David's parents) sides of the family. Unfortunately the pics aren't dated, and we don't know a whole lot about them either, however, we believe they are from the late 40's and early 50's. Thanks for having a look, they sure are neat pieces of family history to have.

Two St. Bernard pups possibly?

A classic English Springer Spaniel for bird hunting!

Gotta have a classroom dog right lol? Possibly an Airedale Terrier?

I spot Jack Russell butt, they don't, hehe.

"A Boy and his Dog"

That Springer again, those two sure did well that day. Looks like Pheasant is for dinner. Yum!

Could this be a puppy version of the dog from photo five?

That's all folks!

Be well,

-Grant
