Tobin & Finnegan

Tobin was yesterdays bright and cheery assessment. She's a one year old, sixteen pound Puggle that joined our Small Dog Program! Tobin spoke great dog, and acted like she was a natural in this type of environment. She also enjoyed running with the rest of her new playmates, and chasing them everywhere!

Finnegan was today's social butterfly. He's ten months old, and weighs thirty five pounds! This handsome guy is an Irish Terrier full of all kinds of life and spunk. Finnegan was all over the place; he made many friends on his first day including: Zoey, Ernie and one of our newest members, Noel.

Check out Finnegan playing with Noel in the video below!

Tobin and Finnegan are more than welcome to come back for my daycare fun.
Have a marvelous Wednesday,

Chipper, Ollie, & Zoe

Today we were greeted by the three Whippet's Chipper, Ollie, and Zoey. These three little rascals entered Fort Fido ready to explore. Once they had arrived and quickly became familiar with our lobby, they made their way back into our Medium Dog Program. Once there, they began to slowly meet the other pups throughout the day. Chipper, Ollie, and Zoey socialized and mingled with the group and we are excited to see them return soon.

Have a great day,

Zoey

Howdy! Today we assessed the happy-go-lucky Zoey. She is a neat looking, ten month old, ninety-six pound, Labrador Retriever and Great Dane Mix. When Zoey first arrived at Fort Fido, she was not sure what was going on, and was a wee-bit hesitant to enter the play area. Once we got her into the Big Roll, she explored a bit,  and slowly began to settle down and relax. We had a feeling, that as soon as she met some other dogs, she'd become even more OK with the situation here... Sure enough, that proved more than true. Once Zoey began to meet the pack, her personality totally blossomed, and from that point, it was "game on" for the rest of the day. Zoey speaks good "Dog" and makes canine friends easily. She played hard, and took a particular liking to Brix, among several others. Zoey's great, we'd be quite pleased to see her at The Fort regularly.

Here you can catch Zoey in a bit of play-action with Brix, awesome!

Cheers,

Welcome Zoey

 

Today we assessed Zoey. She is a five month old, thirty-five pound, Boxer. Zoey stayed in The Fort's Medium Roll where she thrived. This young Dog Daycare regular, is already quite social, and adept at canine communication. Zoey is a very sweet dog, that fit in well with the pack. She played with a few different Fort Fido members, with Georgie and Jack, becoming her favorites.

Here is a couple little shots of Zoey in action:

 

Well done today Zoey, you may visit whenever you'd like.

Be well,

The Copper & Zoey Duo!

Yesterday morning, we had two choice dog-gals in for their assessments... Copper and Zoey! Copper is a thirteen year old, sixty-eight pound, black and brown colored, Doberman Pinscher Mix. Zoey, is a two year old, sixty pound, black, English Labrador Retriever. We had these two "sisters" stay with us in our Big Roll.

Copper did a swell job amongst the group. Being the eldest of The Roll, she didn't play a whole lot, which was more or less expected of her. Copper did however, meet and greet with a few different dogs, in a polite and mature manner. Copper pretty much just hung out, yet seemed very content with the situation.

Now Zoey on the other hand, was all about having fun and getting a wee-bit rowdy. She spoke good "DOG", socializing her way into vigorous play. Zoey had a splendid time at The Fort. She played hard with several different dogs, including Fort Fido regular, Zipper.

Both Copper and Zoey are welcome back here anytime, they are quite suitable for our pack. We plan on seeing them soon for an Overnight Boarding stay.

Here is a excellent little clip of Zoey and Zipper getting to know one another.

Be well,

Northern Exposure

Well, girls will be girls...

Especially when it's Juno (Grey Husky) and Zoey (Red Husky) in the mix at The Fort...

A blast of winter-weather, always seems to whip are Northern Breeds into a blizzardy good mood LOL. Seriously!

Cheers,

Pretty In Pink

(She looks a lot like that actually... Hahaha!)

Decked out from head to toe in Pink, Zoe, was here today for her assessment. She is a sweet little, six year old, seventeen pound, dilute red colored, Miniature Dachshund. Zoe did well in our Little Roll and it was apparent that she had been around dogs before. Although she didn't venture into play, she seemed fairly comfortable during her stay and explored her play group a bit. Zoe is a very gentle and kind canine that Fort Fido looks forward to having in again. Excellent job today Zoe, we'll see you in a couple of weeks.

Have a wonderful day,

-Grant

Some Recent Photos

One from Dakota during snowmageddon, one from Diego (He's jump starting his modeling career with this pic haha.), one I took of Miura and one dad (David) took of Mom (Nancy) showing off new Fort Fido puppy Zoe. Thanks you two for sending in these pictures and thanks to you others for posing lol.





Enjoy your week!

Exuberant Zoe

Get a load of Zoe! The latest addition to Fort Fido's Little Roll. She is a three month old, ten pound, Miniature Goldendoodle. We have several Goldendoodles at The Fort and even a few Miniature Labradoodles but no Miniature Goldendoodles until now... This Zoe, cute can hardly begin to describe her. This precious one is a cuddle-bug that you wouldn't want to put down (but you must lol don't want any S.A. happening). She did a fine job meeting the pack upstairs and even found a good friend in little roller Gherie. Zoe and her owners will really be able to reap the benefits of dog daycare. As most of you already know, it is the "bee's knees" for socialization and extracting puppy energy. ;) Wonderful job today Zoe, we look forward to seeing you again.

Take it easy,

-Grant
P.S. Here are a few neat clips from today, one featuring Zoe.

A word about...

Salmon poisoning.

I found this article a bit ago on King 5 News and wanted to point it out to everyone. Most of you are likely aware of this already.

In short, don't feed any raw or smoked Salmon to your canine companion. It has the potential of really hurting them and is possibly fatal. What a shame, I love the stuff any way it's prepared (yes, even raw lol) and could see myself breaking Gibby off a tiny piece in the right circumstances... Me saving it for him, waiting until he is around, giving him a command and then letting him enjoy it. Of course, of course! ;)

Some clips scored today: Gordo tries out the Big Roll again and Koji, Zachary and Zoey have became quite a cute trio of pals.







Have a great week!

Last Friday's Assessment...

Meet Izzie! She is a four year old, 72 pound, Retriever Mix. She had her assessment on the morning of the 19th in the Big Roll... I've been too busy writing about S.A. and forgot to mention her! She did ok for her first day at The Fort. Her sis Zoey comes and really tears it up (plays well with the other dogs lol). We hope that Izzie will start doing the same.

Be safe on those roads, stay warm,

-Grant

Zach and Zoey ! !

Zachary and Zoey are best buddies! They are even good friends with Fort Fido's friend Gracie. Zachary is a five year old, 24 pound, Blonde, Lhasa Apso. Zoey is a six year old, 24 pound, Reddish Blonde, Lhasa Apso / Bichon Frise Mix. Zachary ventured out and greeted the pack well. Zoey took her time but did socialize a bit with Zachary in the lead. These pups did just fine in the Little Roll and we hope to see them again soon.

Have a nice sunny Monday! ;)

Cool clip and a funny link!

In other news, this had me rolling! Warning, it's dog related potty humor! :)~

Welcome Basli and Zoey ! !

We had two more assessments early this morning.

Basli is a striking, one year old, 80 pound, Bernese Mountain Dog. She had a great time in the Big Roll! Basli was a little hesitant at first but as soon as more dogs started coming in she was all over it! The pack can have that effect. :)

Our second assessment was Zoey. She is a beautiful, two year old, 45 pound, Red Siberian Husky. Zoey took to the pack quickly, having a blast in the Medium Roll.

Have a nice weekend (fingers crossed for sun)!

-Grant





P.S. I found two neat articles this morning too, check 'em out! 1 & 2.
