Marvelous Mimi

Welcome Mimi! She is a 8.5 lbs., 1 year-old, Terrier Mix. Just like her brother Eddie, Mimi came into the Fort confidently and made her way into our Small Dog Program. Once there, she began to communicate and mingle with the pups as soon as they came in. She showed good dog-talk and got along with the pack throughout her time here. Mimi seemed to enjoy her time spent with us and we look forward to seeing more of Mimi & Eddie.



Have a nice day,

A few clips

A few clips from today...

Here's a great one from the Little Roll, it seems to always be a party up there! In the clip, you can spot Dixie, Pearl, Willow, Mimi and Pippin.

The next two are just some quickies of Diego, Penny and Reilly having some fun.

 

All for now.

Take it easy,

P.S. Ah, I also wanted to add this clip from yesterday of Pippin and new dog Max. Pippin usually doesn't get too playful unless he has been staying with us for a few days... He can also be tricky to capture on film, but alas, I got a little shot of him here, beginning to have a good time. :)

] Meritable Mimi [

Early this morning, Fort Fido had Mimi in for her assessment. She is a fabulous, four year old, twenty-five pound, Havanese and Pekingese Mix. After partaking in a brisk morning walk, Mimi, pranced into The Fort with wonder. She was 110% ready to give our Little Roll a go. Up there, Mimi went right into fun! She "meeted & greeted" with every Little Roll pack member that entered the play area. She speaks very fluent "DOG", and enjoys making new canine-acquaintances. As far as fun is concerned, Mimi had a ton of it here, right off the bat. She happily played, even one on one, with several different dogs, Jesse, being her most favorite. It's really great to see a new dog so calm and balanced, and comfortable enough here, to play on a first visit. We really look forward to the return of Mimi, and hear that she may be trying an overnight stay soon. I'm quite sure she is going to love it!

Here's, Mimi, falling head-over-heels for Jesse haha.

Take care,

-Grant

- Majestic Mimi -

Fort Fido was graced with the presence of another wonderful little dog today... Meet Mimi! She is a mature, six year old, seventeen pound, Shih Tzu/Yorkshire Terrier Mix. Mimi ventured upstairs to the Little Roll for her assessment. She was calm, confident, and very well balanced. Although Mimi didn't play a whole heck of a lot, she was very content, constantly wagging her tail and looking pleased. This happy little dog, will be a first-rate addition to the Little Roll's Pack, and, we plan on seeing her again next week. Way to go Mimi, we sure hope you'll bust out some feisty play soon!

:)

Have a great - and hopefully sunny- weekend,

-Grant
P.S. Here's an early Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I love ya David, and good luck/congrats to our soon-to-be-a-daddy-man, Ryan. Woo hoo!

Enjoy your weekend,

Luckily our new computer has arrived, yeah! We should be up and running with our new system in a couple of days. We are doing everything with a laptop right now and it is nice but not ideal. Blogger is having some issues with the laptop's browser/operating system. Hope was unable to get a Blog Post going on Saturday and I'm having trouble with this one lol.

For now, let us checkout a few clips from today.

In the Medium Roll, Emily, Mimi and Zeus busted moves off and on all day long. They are a quite the trio of pals.



From the Big Roll, Louis and Popo romp hard as usual.



Upstairs in the Little Roll we get another glimpse of "newbie" Phoebe Marie doing well. Here she does her best to get Lucy to play with her.



Enjoy the start of your week, looks like good weather shall be returning soon! At least we don't have to water anything today. ;)

1 big 2 med

Here are a couple of good ones from the Medium Roll. The first is of Barkley and Mimi egging on Miss Phoenix, very funny! Although it looks a bit "wild" in this clip, they are all buddies. The second clip shows Bella and Gibby having some fun while Chance and Lucy do the same in the corner. It sure was a good medium group today.

Our last clip is a bit of neck fighting from the Big Roll this morning. It features Boxers Stella and Sam rolling around with Black Lab Truman.

Happy Memorial Day Clips

The Big Roll had a lot of Jake and Pepper love in it today, here the two are "Neck Fighting".



Mimi and Sofee (long time Fort Fido Friends) chose to tear it up together as usual hehe!



The Little Roll consisted of high-energy young dogs that love to run and chase.



Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend, thank you to all that have served!

Three fun clips!

Thought I'd upload three fun clips taken this morning... Two of them are Jake and Bella the Boxer having a good old time (Osbourne our young Chocolate Lab makes an appearance as well) and the third clip is of Mimi (a pretty Chocolate Lab) playing with her love Jersey Boy. Sometimes opposites do attract lol!







Cheers,
