! Brother From Another Mother !

Tuesday's early morning assessment was none other than Chico. He is a eleven year old, ten pound, white colored, Chihuahua. Now, get this, Chico is the "older brother" of Fort Fido Big Roll regular, Gus. How is that for opposites eh? Hahaha! Gus is huge, Chico is tiny. Gus is black, Chico is white. Gus has long hair, Chico has short hair. I'm guessing you've caught my drift lol?

Chico didn't mind the other pack members in the Little Roll. He wasn't sure what to think of David and Matt but took quite a liking to my cousin Jaya. Basically, Chico could care less about the other dogs and isn't too keen on strange human males. But can ya blame him? He's 77 years old for Pete's sake! I'll probably act the same way when I get there haha. Anyways, Chico is more than welcome to attend daycare/boarding here. In actuality, he got along just fine. He's just a surprising contrast to his active, extremely personable and gregarious brother, Gus... And that is ok by us, he is neat in other ways. Dogs vary, a lot, just like we homo-sapiens do.

Way to be Chico, never let them see ya sweat. We shall see ya soon for overnight boarding!

The essence of Emmett

In this morning for his assessment was Emmett. He is a six month old, forty-two pound, black with a white chin and chest, Newfoundland/Border Collie? Mix. We have several assessments scheduled this week. If the others are anything like Emmett, we will most definitely be in luck! Emmett, a dog daycare regular, hung out in our Medium Roll today. At first, he wasn't too keen on being the only pooch in the play-area. As dogs began to arrive, Emmett quickly relaxed and began to engage. Almost instantly, it seemed as though Emmett befriended the whole pack with his communication skills. He was a pleasure to have here today and we hope he'll return to The Fort soon. Checkout the clips that follow to see a bit of the Emmett Action.





Happy Monday! ;)

- Gamesome Gus -

Look at this big and happy fella! His name is Gus and he had his assessment this morning. Gus is a seven month old, ninety-five pound, Newfoundland. Surprisingly, he is actually the first purebred "Newfie" we have ever had here at The Fort and he ended up being quite a pleasure. Gus hung out in the Big Roll and made friends quickly. He paired off a great deal with Zodiac and the two truly had a ball together. It's neat to see such a large, young dog, play so well in the daycare, so soon, without us having to micromanage it. First rate job today Gus! Looks like we will be seeing you again here at Fort Fido soon.

Happy Monday! ;)

P.S. Here is one swell clip of newbie Gus and Zodiac engaged in some Live Big Roll Action.

Murphy & Bear raise a ruckus
