Harrison

Yesterday we Assessed Harrison. He is a sprightly, ten year old, forty-nine pound, Apricot/Cream Colored, Labradoodle. Harrison did a fantastic job fitting in to Fort Fido's Medium Pack. This "mature" fella, is one spry canine... You would never think he was ten years old. He's still got it lol, sprinting, jumping, wrestling, Harrison did it all. Almost all of the pack members he played around with, were only a quarter of his age, yet he kept up with all of them easily! It's obvious that "Harry", is a Dog Daycare Veteran. He hung out here, and acted as though he'd visited 100 times before, it was really great. Harrison plans to give our Overnight Boarding a go soon, and we thoroughly look forward to his return, Firs-rate job my man, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself at The Fort.

Take a look at Harrison, meeting up with Winnie for the first time... Those Labradoodles like to stick together ya know. ;)

Enjoy your weekend,

Please welcome Kaylee, Jupiter & Rainier!

Yesterday we Assessed Kaylee, she is a nine month old, about twenty-five pound, Labrador Retriever and Boxer Mix. Now Kaylee is a very sweet, yet very shy and timid canine. She is here at The Fort, to socialize, play, and gain some confidence. We escorted Kaylee to the Medium Play Area, where she was quite unsure about what she was here to do... However, upon meeting some other canines, Kaylee quickly blossomed, it was an awesome surprise! What she lacks in confidence with humans and new surroundings, she makes up for ten-fold, in dog-play and socialization. Kaylee sprinted around, and played hard with several different members of the Medium Roll's pack. It was a pleasure to see. We believe that Fort Fido can do a lot for Kaylee's confidence and well being. Given time and consistency, we know she can become an even better, and less timid adult dog.

Here, Kaylee has some fun sprinting around with Winnie and Louis, good times!

Today we had a doubleheader of Assessments. Meet Jupiter and Rainier!

Jupiter is a energy-filled, eight month old, fifty-five pound, Blue Merle, Australian Shepherd.

Rainier is a calm, eight month old, fifty pound, Black and White Colored, Australian Shepherd.

Jupiter and Rainier are the type of dogs that would be able to handle both our Medium and Large Play areas. To warm them up to our place, we had them try the Medium Roll on for size. One therein, the two "dog brothers" explored their new surroundings merrily. After a few minutes, it was time to begin to meet the pack. Both Jupiter and Rainier did so properly, and with gusto! They befriended several of the pack members within minutes. They took a real liking to Louis, Shiva, and Otis, among others. We were thrilled to see these two high-energy herding dogs, fit in so well, play, and be liked by the pack so quickly. We have a feeling that We'll be seeing these two dudes again for sure!

In the clips that follow, you can spot both Jupiter and Rainier enjoying themselves.

All of our newcomers have done a real swell job the last couple of days, rock on! Welcome to Fido's Pack.

Have a great weekend and a nice Holiday,

-Grant
P.S. There is still room tonight, and this weekend, for Overnight Boarding. If you need to get your dog in, give us a call and reserve your spot.

Winnie

Today we introduced Winnie to Fort Fido. She is a good looking, high-energy, six month old, about thirty pound, chocolate colored, Labradoodle. Winnie was the perfect size, and had the right temperament, to try out our Medium Play Area. Inside the roll, she was ecstatic about getting to meet and greet with the other canines. After a couple of short "sniffs" with a few different pack members, Winnie, let out an awesome Play-bow, attempting to get Cody into play... And get Cody into play she did! The two Labradoodles became pals instantly, and had a blast together, sprinting around for a good part of the morning. Winnie continued to have a great time throughout her Assessment, fitting in with the group well and playing with any dog that was game. First-rate stuff Winnie, we look forward to your return!

In theses clip, Winnie and Cody, just start to begin their morning's fun.

Be well,

-Grant
