Christmas Buddy and Clips

Checkout this great photo of Fort Fido's very own "Buddy" with Santa Claus. It turned out real nice but my scanner didn't do it justice. Buddy's owner told me that Bud snagged Santa's beard right before the shoot, haha, typical Buddy style! Also, notice that Mrs. Claus had to fill in for the Jolly guy in this pic lol.

Remember, send us in your holiday pet photos (or any pet photos for that matter), they are all Blog worthy and we love receiving them.


Clips from today:

Two different colored "Golden Retrievers", Lulu & Sam played hard today.



The Medium Roll was as wild and boisterous as any day.



The Little Roll was also it's high-energy, fun-loving self.

A Clip Day

In this clip from the Big Roll; Charly, Lulu, Mollie and Sam have a great pack-run-moment.



One from the Medium Roll shows Fort Fido regular Niko doing what he does best, this dog can play well and play hard!



Two from the Little Roll. One is just a cross section of the pack, the other, shows Frizzy and Samarah enjoying a feisty bout of play.





Cheers,

P.S. Also found a good heart warmer here.

~ Lulu ~

It was a breath of fresh air to meet a young puppy dog as balanced and calm as Lulu was this morning. Her owner's research, hard work and leadership really show through. Lulu displayed great confidence and self-esteem on her first day at the fort this morning. At seven months old, she has already met 100 people and 65 dogs! Early socialization like that can be very beneficial. Lulu is a 43 pound, English Cream colored Golden Retriever. She fits in nicely with the Medium Roll. We commend her owner for doing things right!

P.S. Some more fascinating articles... 1, 2, 3.

Bijou

This morning we welcomed Bijou to Fort Fido. He is a studly, red Australian Cattle Dog that is three years old. Bijou was a little nervous and has had a rough couple of months. His owner just passed (our condolences) and he is still settling into his new home... Now he has to figure daycare out, what a transition! We are giving him lots of space and positive vibes. We know for a fact he plays, so hopefully he will overcome his separation anxiety and bust a move here at the fort. His new owners definitely know a thing or two about dogs. They have been bringing their three Chihuahuas; Lulu, Oreo and Sydney to the fort for quite some time. Fun, talk about a houseful!

P.S. In other news, I found these two articles (1, 2) to be a bit of a bummer.... The sled dog scene sure is fascinating, talk about some hardcore individuals!
