Soft Nellie

This morning we welcomed Nellie to Fort Fido. Nellie is an 3-month old, 15 pound, Old English Sheepdog. As Nellie entered Fort Fido, she knew that this was a place to enjoy herself at. She delightfully entered into The Fort with confidence and excitement. Soon after entering the medium roll, Nellie began to cheerfully socialize with the other pups. She enjoyed her time here at Fort Fido and we look forward to seeing Nellie return for some more fun.

Enjoy the weather,

Two new dogs!

This last Saturday, we assessed Cooper. He is a darn-cute, three month old, twelve pound, Black Labrador Retriever. Cooper did really well here with the Medium Roll pack. He is a very sweet and exited young puppy, eager to please and play. Cooper got along nicely, becoming pals with Pepper (to no surprise) and Seamus.


Bella had her assessment this morning. She is a beautiful, nine month old, 55 pound, Sheepadoodle. Bella tried out both The Big, and Medium Rolls. After a bit of time, she ended up feeling right at home with the Medium Roll Pack. There, Bella wagged and engaged in a bit of play with a few different canines (including Cooper). It was a great first visit for Bella.

Both Cooper and Bella are welcome back here to The Fort anytime. We can't wait to have them in again.

You can catch a glimpse of Bella and Cooper in the following clip.

Take care,

Guinea of the morning

Guinness the Old English Sheepdog joined Fort Fido in September of 2006. He is 4 ½ years old and close to 100 pounds. "Guinea" as we like to call him, is a lot of dog. He runs fast, poops big, barks loud and has a blast here at the fort. His favorite game is herding (naturally) and his zest for life is immeasurable. Although Guinea can be a lot of work at times, not falling in love with him is impossible. Guinness is a beautiful specimen!

Another interesting fact is that Guinea's owner acquired him from Merrimac Farm in Redmond. The well known breeding program is ran by Merrilee Rush. If the name sounds familiar this might ring a bell...



Cool Stuff! Cheers,

P.S. Basic obedience and leadership class with Garrett Stevens starts tomorrow night at the fort. It's going to be extremely informative and it's not to late to sign up!
