And the pack grows...

Yesterday Team Fido met up with Henry for his Assessment. He is a very good looking, ten month old, twelve pound, dapple, Chiweenie (Chihuahua and Miniature Dachshund Mix). Henry stayed with us in our Little Dog Play Area. There, he wasn't quite sure what to make of the place at first... As other canines wondered in throughout the morning, Henry became more and more comfortable with his new surroundings. He spoke good "Dog", and really seemed to enjoy the company of the others. Henry even played a good amount, he chased a few balls around, and even got into a game of "fox hunt" with the pack... That game, consists of one person "fishing" for the little dogs, with a Skinneeez toy as "bait" lol, it's pretty fun and many of our little dogs really enjoy it, some too much so. Nancy came up with this game a while back, and it has a few different names.

Here you can catch a glimpse of Henry getting into the mix:

This morning, Romeo rolled into The Fort for his Assessment Day. He is a one year old, six pound, white and beige colored, Chihuahua. Romeo is a recently rescued dog, that is new to many things. His owner is working with him diligently, to help him become a calm and balanced canine. Today's visit to Fort Fido, is just another tool, in the work of acclimating Romeo to life-anew. Inside of our Little Roll, Romeo sniffed around, curious, yet very cautious. After letting him get his bearings, it was time for Romeo to begin meeting out pack, which he did comfortably. At home, Romeo is part of a seven-dog pack, that is enabling him to balance out socially, and is getting him to be even more of a healthy "Dog's Dog". Although there wasn't too much activity out of Romeo today, he did do a very good job hanging out here and socializing. Also, as you can see, he is quite a "looker" lol! Romeo was about as photogenic as a dog can get for his badge picture.

We would like to see both Henry and Romeo visit us often, they are most welcome here anytime. Swell job lads!

Have a relaxing weekend,

Nifty pics from friends of The Fort

Romeo's ma, Raili, sent me a pic of this knee-slappin' sign she found at a pet store in Lakewood. I absolutely love it, hahaha! She also sent me a picture of her and Romeo stopping by the Grand Canyon on a recent road trip. Too cool, how photogenic, thanks a ton Raili!

Diego's mother, Carla, sent me this fun pic of Diego. It reminds me of some cartoon I've seen before... Can't quite put my finger on it. I couldn't even tell it was him at first lol!

Y'all be well,

FFFFriday

It has been a busy week for us here at Fort Fido but or course that is a good thing. March tends to be our busiest month at The Fort and things are already picking up as we get halfway through February. There has been a number of new dogs and old dogs returning... We have also been busy sprucing up for our open house on Sunday March 6th. We hope that you all will attend. We truly appreciate your continuous support.

Evy (kumpi@earthlink.net), owner of Kumpi emailed me a impressive video clip. Check it out here. What a neat trick, that dog can really dunk! He dribbles darn good too!

I'll leave you with a snippet from today's Medium Roll starring Rainier, Walter, Romeo, Otto and Sophie-Alice. With special appearances by Barkley's and Chewy's head haha.



Have a great weekend,

-Grant

Rippin around with Romeo!

Romeo had his assessment this morning and he did awesome! He is a four month old, 34 pound, Blue Merle, Border Collie. Romeo had an exciting time in the Medium Roll finding a good friend in a Border Collie mix (and Fort Fido veteran) named Lila. We hope to see a lot more of Romeo soon. What a looker!

Take care,

-Grant
P.S. My Cat Hobbs is up on Kumpi Kids, check him out lol. Thanks Robert!
