Two cowpokes entered the saloon...

Errr... I mean, The Fort!

Get a load of buckaroos Gus and Hank.

These two merry "brothers", had the most comical entrance into the Big Roll play area, that I've seen in some time... They were both so happy and excited to be here, you would have thought they'd been here for fun, many times before. Their extremely cheerful personalities were a joy to see in the early morning, especially for a new-dog-assessments.

Gus is a two year old, seventy-eight pound, Yellow Labrador Retriever.

Hank is a four year old, seventy-eight pound, Yellow Labrador Retriever.


Luckily, telling the two apart isn't hard... The more "mature", Hank, has a golden color on him, while Gus does not. Personality wise, Gus and Hank are quite similar, with Gus being slightly more active. Both Gus and Hank are very gregarious. They're your "outgoing" type of canines, that just want to find their niche within the pack, and have a good time. Gus and Hank interacted with numerous dogs, seemingly into any that would take them on. We are pleased with Gus and Hank's social skills, they are welcome to drop into Fort Fido anytime they'd like.

In the clips that follow, Gus and Hank, mix it up in the Big Roll with fast-players Odin, Samwise, and Gertrude.

Odin & Samwise

 

Yesterday, we were really in for some adventure. The Fort took on new canines Odin and Samwise.

Odin, like his great name suggests, is a strong looking, one year old, sixty-seven pound, black and white colored, German Shorthaired Pointer. Odin's high energy and playful spirit were great for the Big Roll. He found a friend in Fort Fido regular, Zipper, and the two became the perfect match.



From the same family, is Samwise. He is a smart, four month old, thirty pound, brown colored, German Shorthaired Pointer. I was instantly struck with joy by what his owners named him, I've alluded to my J.R.R. Tolkien love before lol. Samwise stayed in the Medium Roll and did just fine. He is still learning the dynamics of the pack and slowly getting into the social scene, so he wasn't quite as playful as his big brother. Nonetheless, he was still very eager to meet & greet with the other pack members. Sam did engage in play as well.

Both Odin and Samwise may join us again anytime. They did a swell job on their first day and hopefully we will meet with them again.

Take it easy,
