4 clips

We have four really good clips for y'all today.

First up, from the Medium Roll, we have Jackson, showing young pups, Yuki and Pancake, how to play nice. My how you have matured Mr. Jackson lol, way to go! You sure have been helpful in keeping some of these wild youngbucks in line.

 

In the Big Roll... It was a bit of a "cuddle fest" haha. Brutus, Marco Polo, and Grady settled down into "neck fighting" (a type of play) after ripping around crazy for awhile. It's just like these three, tired, and still going for it!

Upstairs, in the Little Roll, Henry was the dog-man of the day. He, among others, was playing hard and having a blast. In this clip, you can also spot Tula, Marlee, Jaeger, Dolly, and Dwayne. Good times!

Take care,

The Rolls, The Clips

From the Big Roll, Mother Maggie was on patrol as usual... There is always some "correcting" to be done when Chocolate Lab gal Kodiak is in the thick of it! Osbourne seems to be watching in amazement lol, "How does she do it?".





In the Medium Roll it was business as usual. You know, Tikvah in every shot doing something super fun, Zeus too, haha. ;)



Samantha had us chuckling with her "after-romp lounge position". A dog has to be mighty comfortable to be on it's back like that, especially with the pack. :)



Upstairs, known as the "Little Roll", was its fast and furious self. We captured a bit of Wrastlin' in between ball time. The usual suspects were hitting it hard; Buddy, Chloe, Pearl and Frizzy just to name a few.

Fido & Clips

(Apparently, this is a Photo of a Hubley Cast Iron Piggy-Bank from the early 1900's, cool!)

Why did "Fido" become the generic family dog name?

I didn't know either lol, maybe you did... I just learned that Fido comes from the Latin fidus, meaning faithful / I trust, a very fitting term for "Man's best friend". Neat, ya learn something new everyday. ;)


Now here are some outstanding clips from today's rolls.

First up, Abby, Grady, Stella and Ziva have been romping hard all day together in the Big Roll.



It has also been a Chocolate Lab fest in the Large Roll today, here, Osbourne, Kodiak and Grady have a triple threat match. They must know their the same breed lol.



Things were fast and furious in the Medium Roll today as always. Miss Phoebe loves stirring up a pot of chase games... Buddha, Diego and Zeus pursue.



Check Pearl out in the Little Roll, she found a big orange ball that she really digs... A clip was taken later in the day and she was still after that ball, too funny.



Last but certainly not least, new pup Mooshu and Pearl had a late afternoon wrestling match that we were able to capture. What a blast!

Video Clips

Two from the Big Roll.

Abby and Stella are two frequent visitors of The Fort. They are best buddies, knowing how to play hard and fast... Sometimes we have to step in and slow them down a bit ;) . These two swell dogs deffinitely get in a full-body workout everyday they are here.



Two young shepherds, Jake and Ziva, had a bit of a love-affair today. It's neat to see the two playing together. Osbourne ends this one with a wind-sprint lol.



Two from our Medium Roll as well.

Miss Bella (check her gorgeous photo out on another website) and young rebel-rouser Zeus demonstrated their fair and balanced play early in the afternoon.



Meanwhile... Emily, Gibson and Jaeger were a surprising trio that got along well.



Take it easy,

Pawsha and Osbourne Love

Pawsha and Osbourne have really been hitting it off lately. You can check them out in these two clips. Don't mind Sarah, she was going for the "Full Mount" lol.





I also wanted to point y'all towards a handful of headlines:

Truman & Osbourne

Unfortunately I wasn't zoomed in properly on this clip (poor quality) but I wanted to post it anyway. Truman and Osbourne play hard, loose and fast! They are best buddies! Every once in awhile we have to slow them down lol.



Happy Monday,

Bella battle

I like this little clip I captured this morning, it's what Doggie Daycare is all about (the dogs playing hard and having fun). It's Bella the little white Boxer (She takes on all comers!) fending off Osbourne the Chocolate Lab and Benny the Golden Retriever, all in good fun of course.

Enjoy,

-Grant
P.S. Also found many dog articles of interest this morning (click the numbers)... 1, 2, 3, 4.

Class tonight & the pits in despair

Fort Fido is excited to start its new group training class tonight! We are featuring basic obedience & leadership with Garrett Stevens. Our plan is to offer a variety of group training classes and workshops designed to strengthen the communication between owner and pet. A few rascals from the fort will be in attendance tonight. :)


In other dog news, unfortunately not good or exciting, I ask myself "What are these fools thinking?".

Have fun in class tonight pups, give 'em hell! Hehehe! Take care everybody,

-Grant
