Leo

   

  My heart strings were definitely pulled this morning when I saw this little cutie walk through our doors. Meet, Leo! He's a Miniature Schnauzer that's only eleven weeks old and weighs three pounds. This fierce little guy trotted up to our Puppy Program with lots of confidence and curiosity. He showed wonderful "dog speak" as he mingled with his new playmates and sniffed around his new surroundings. 

Check out this video to see him in action, meeting and greeting everyone. 

He also took a great liking to one of The Fort's regulars, Rusty.

As you can see, this little pup had a great first day today. I am very much looking forward to watching him grow, and seeing him return for more daycare fun! Have a good day everyone, try to stay nice and cool!

Bright Benji

This morning the Fort Fido crew met up with the loveable Benji. He is a one year old, seventeen pound, black and white colored, Miniature Australian Shepherd and Maltese Mix. Benji followed us up to the Small Dog Play Area. Once therein, he explored the area rather quickly, then moved on to wondering what was next. Rusty arrived minutes later, and that was Benji's first chance to meet one of The Fort's key pack members... The two hit it off beautifully! Benji exhibits pretty good canine communication skills for a young buck, and it's obvious that he only wants to get along and have a good time. As the pack grew, Benji continued to fit in with the others and have fun. He really liked Ball Time and all of the toys we have to offer. We look forward to meeting up with Benji again in the near future.

Here's a little clip of Benji having a blast during Ball Time.

Take care,

Clip it up!

From today's ruckus rolls... All kinds of fun!

In the Big Roll, we had "Ollie" being the usual clown with his buddy Jasper. Theodore had a great time, along with Brix, Jackson, Gage, and many others.

 

 

From the Medium Roll, we have a nice clip of "Bogart" and Yuki running amok.

Upstairs in the Little Roll Play area, Miguel, got the whole pack to party down... She also has a couple of "boyfriends" in Buckwheat and Rusty lol!

 

 

Be well,

* Stellar New Board & Clips *

Checkout the new chalkboard we got up in our lobby. It displays all of our current rates and services... It's been a long time coming, we should have had this baby up years ago to avoid any "confusion" haha.

Thank you to my wonderful girlfriend for the help on this project. She built most of it, and, kindly and lovingly scribed the info. onto the board, with magnificent penmanship I might add. Absolutely beautiful! We used these new-to-us "chalk markers" for the project and they are really cool. I highly recommend them for all of your chalk-board-writing needs lol. The fine folks over at Narrows Brewing CO. recommend them to us. ;)


In other happenings around The Fort, and in video, we have three hits from "The Captain", a funny one of Kingsley and Theodore, and, a cute clip of Rusty and Tucker playing.

 

Cheers,

Carefree Cooper

Meet Cooper! He is a super-cute, four year old, seventeen pound, brown and white colored, Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise Mix... That had his assessment this morning. Cooper spent his time in Fort Fido's Little Roll. He did a wonderful job meeting and greeting with the day's pack. Most importantly, Cooper played wholeheartedly during his stay. He took a special liking to Oliver and Rusty, among others. It was a great day for Cooper here at The Fort, he did a fantastic job and enjoyed his stay. We look forward to his next visit. A special "Thank You!" goes out to Little Miss Pearl, for recommending that Mr. Cooper give Dog Daycare a shot. We appreciate it!

Take care,

-Grant

Namoo, not Shamu!

Hahaha...

 

Meet Namoo! He is a nine month old, about fifteen pound, Shih Tzu/Miniature Schnauzer Mix. Now Namoo had his assessment this morning, in the Little Roll. He is a happy-go-lucky type of dog, that is all about playing and having a good time, and, that is exactly what he did here today. He integrated into the Small Pack seamlessly, and acquired quite a fondness for Cortez and Rusty, among others. Namoo had a "whale of a time" at The Fort and we hope to see him again soon. Well done buddy!

Here, Namoo is having a blast with good-old-Rusty:

 

Cheers,

P.S. In other unrelated news, be sure to checkout the documentary film Blackfish. I saw it at The Grand, and it's a good one!

The Handyman is in!

Meet Handy. He is a fun-loving, ten month old, seven pound, white colored, Maltese. This spunky little fellow, had his assessment in the Little Roll. Handy did very well, and was quite eager to experience his new surroundings. He is confident, courageous, and carries a large, likable personality. Handy made playmates out of the other pack members quickly and easily. It was a wonderful first day for Handy. He'll be a pleasure for us to have here at The Fort.

In the following clips, Handy gets to know Fort Fido regulars, Rusty and Buckwheat. The two were a perfect match-up for the Handyman.

Cheers,

-Grant

Welcome, Luna!

 

Today we had the pleasure of meeting this sweet, 17 weeks old, Lab/Shepherd mix named Luna. Luna settled right in to the medium roll and started playing straightaway. Luna met quite a few new dogs today but her favorites seemed to be Rusty and Marlee. Luna has a great personality and an excellent temperament, we look forward to seeing her again soon.

 

Here is a quick video clip we got this morning of Luna and Rusty in the medium roll.






Have a great week,

: Rad Rusty :

Fort Fido good-old-boy, Dempsey, has been the cornerstone of the Big Roll since his first days in 2008. He is one awesome dog, that has shown great prowess and leadership in the pack. His owners are also some of the best, and most loyal, customers. Thank you for your support over the years!

Anywho... Dempsey and the "Devlin Clan" have sworn in another member lol. Meet the radical little dude that is, Rusty! Rusty is a one year old, Chihuahua/Dachshund (maybe Corgi) Mix. Let me be the first to tell you... Rusty is one lucky dog! He couldn't have found a better situation, or better Forever Home. Recently rescued by the Devlins, Rusty was a bit under the weather at first. He was a stray dog for many moons. Then, after a couple of weeks with his new family; consisting of proper nutrition, love, and care, Rusty was feeling great, and was more than ready to take on the fun of The Fort. He met up with the Little Roll crew this morning and fit in with them seamlessly. Rusty thoroughly enjoyed socializing, and, was all about play. He wrestled it up with several different canines, taking quite a liking to Cortez. Rusty reminds us of Cortez a lot, he has a very similar sweet disposition. "Rad Rusty" passed his assessment with flying colors, and please note, the decision to pass him was not based on Dempsey's Legacy. This little fella is more than welcome, due solely to his actions, and on his own accord. Hahaha!

Be well,
