Lola

Lola came to the The Fort for her Assessment today. She is a six year old, ten pound, fawn colored, Chihuahua Mix. Lola is really cute and sweet, and kind of reminds us of a female Cortez lol! Upstairs in the Little Roll, Lola sniffed around a lot, finding out everything she could about her new-found play area. As other canines began to arrive, Lola seemed excited to greet them. She met with them properly, and had no problems socializing. Towards the end of her stay, she even began to bust out into a little bit of play. We plan on seeing her for some future Overnight Boarding visits, and believe that she'll really have a blast on her next go around. Swell job today Lola, the Fort Fido crew is happy to have ya, and we look forward to seeing you again.

Have a nice weekend,

Santa Claus is coming to town...

Rather, "Santa Butters", is coming to town hahaha! You may recognize Buddy, he is one of Fort Fido's poster boys. He is a very handsome American Eskimo that has been coming to The Fort for years. You just can't beat his striking look! It's been awesome to use pictures of Buddy for marketing, specifically our Website/Blog Logo. He is one photogenic little canine. Twas hilarious this morning when Butters came in as Kris Kringle, we had to get a pic of it.


Long time Fort attendee, Black Pearl, brought us in some excellent Christmas Cookies. Thank you! Ironically enough, Hope, with Dave's glasses as a prop, looked very similar to the "Cool Santa" depicted on the sugary dough haha! Nancy had to score a photo of that one.




I'll leave you with four clips of The Rolls. Two from the Medium, one from the Big and one long one from the Little Roll.









Cheers,

P.S. Just a side note, other dogs in our Website/Blog Logo include (From left to Right) Faramir, Mr. Bingley, Lola and Ruger. All but Mr. Bingley still attend and have been doing so since 2006. Thanks dogs for looking so good! ;)
P.P.S. Here is Buddy from 2009 in another costume lol!

More Fun Diego Pics & Lola Pistola Clip

Good ones as always. Diego sunbathing on the rocks and Diego ready to defend his pad from a deer haha! Awesome!

In other news... Long time Fort Fido Friend Lola becomes a whirling dervish when playing with Gibson lol. She doesn't always play super hard but when she does, look out! The best picture I have ever taken is of Lola, I think it was in 2007. It is used in our website's/blog's banner at the top of the page (she has on the pink bandanna), she is sooo pretty isn't she?



Take Care,

Lovely Lola

Please welcome miss Lola to The Fort. She had her assessment in the Little Roll today. Lola is a one year old, eighteen pound, multicolored, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is a lovely little dog that did quite well with her newfound pack. Lola went to playing rather quickly and clearly took pleasure in her stay. She will be a swell addition to the Little Roll. Excellent job Lola!

Take care,

P.S. What to know about the Westminster Kennel Club Show, Skeeter the tiny volunteer dog shows big heart & study says dogs promote more active teens.
