Xmas Pic Time & News!

We are getting really excited for one of our favorite times of the year... When the Fort Fido Dog Christmas Photos start pouring in! It's really fun to see what you guys come up with and it is much appreciated. We love seeing our canine pals in their Holiday Best. So please, if you get some time, send us in ( grant@fortfido.com ) a Holiday Themed photo of your pet. I look forward to posting them all up on the blog every year. Please note, if you aren't tech-savvy, or are low on time, just bring your pet in dressed up and we'll snap a quick photo in the lobby. Or, bring in a photo, and we can scan it right quick and hand it right back.

Here's a Holiday teaser pic of "Santa Happy". My, doesn't he look festive? He'd fit right in at the North Pole... He might blend-in too good without that hat LOL!

Found in the news recently:

Dogs can drive cars too!

Utah boy with Autism has service dog by his side.

Pocket dogs making Old English Sheepdogs rare.

Beer brewer expands to dog biscuits.

Dog alerts owner to neighbor's fire.

Loyal dog stays by missing child's side until found!

Take care,

P.S. We thought Zeus came in as Casper today hahaha.

Starting the week...

With a clip from the Medium Roll.

Here we have Barkley and Chance (sporting a new short hairdo) engaging. These two are sure buddies and what healthy play they are exhibiting in this one, very fair and balanced. Good stuff you two, just the way we like it around here.



From the Big Roll you see Happy and Buddy exchange "hugs" lol.



Happy Monday!

P.S. The band and I made it on to the TV again... Here is the link , we show up 7:25 minutes in, you can fast forward to it. :)

Another round of clips and news

One from the Big Roll featuring Happy and Dempsey, these two sure get along well.



Today in the Medium Roll, we had a hodgepodge of happy go lucky K9's. You can see Gabe playing great with the new Boxer pup Stella.




In the news today I found a few neat articles: Ask Dog Lady: Don't chew out beagle over bad habits, Puppy Love During Finals? & One more mess for Obama: Cleaning up after the dog.

Have a nice weekend,

P.S. I'll be back Thursday for our holiday picture post (Bring me in your photos to scan!). For the meantime, Fort Fido Manager Hope will be taking the reigns.

Happy and the ladies...

We don't typically think of Happy (a wiley Samoyed mix) as a ladies man here at the fort. However, the charms of two Black Labs (Maxie & Sarah) were just too much for him to resist today hahaha. Check it out!



Take it easy,

P.S. Found an awesome article this morning, it is a Cute alert lol, dog nurses baby squirrels who lost their home.

Zeuss, new review, kumpi plug :)

What a hearty roll we had today. Lots of big dogs, lots of big fun! Zeuss started up this morning, he is a three year old, 60 pound, Border Collie mix. He did alright for his first day, we hope to see him branch out a bit more. Zeuss has a great name and the funniest little tail.

Fort Fido has gained another great review which can be read here (scroll down a bit). Thank you Ginny, Darrel and Happy dog, you are too kind.



To anyone who hasn't looked into Kumpi pet food yet please do! I have to get a little plug in every now and then because it is great stuff. Call the president of the company Evy, she'll answer the phone and answer any questions you have with expertise. Made in the USA, no byproducts, real food for dogs, 100% money back guarantee.
