A couple of pics, a couple of clips.

Logan lounging with his main pal!

I would have never guessed Logan needed "readers" lol reminds me of some Fort Employees. ;)

Logan's ma Becky sent me these snazzy pictures of her main man. They are great, thanks for sending them in Becky!

Scored two good clips of Blue and new Bulldog Zora playing together in the Big Roll. Have a look.

All aboard ! ! !

There is another new puppy in the house! Long time Fort Fido supporter Finny has got a new member in his pack. His name is Ozzie and he's just a wee Yellow Lab baby right now, he's not even ready for The Fort yet. Finn and Ozzie's owner Rob sent me this great clip of them playing together from his cell phone. What technology lol! When I converted the clip to play on the computer the quality went down, my apologies, either way it's cute!

Take it easy,

P.S. If you haven't already, checkout Finn's Website. It's for a great cause. Also, checkout the Kumpi Pet Food site. I talked to Evy yesterday and she said she added some neat stuff. Specifically the "False Science Alert" at the top, definitely read that. By the way, Kumpi is Gluten-Free and has never had a recall ever, that's huge! :)

Diego's ma Carla sent me a great picture of Diego in his bean bag bed. I also borrowed a few pics of him from her Blog. He has been coming to Fort Fido for quite awhile. Diego is a three year old, thirty pound, Medium Rollin', Beagle. Great pictures, thank you!

Have a nice day,

P.S. If you have pics of your pup, send them in! We love posting them on the blog. You can email pictures to grant@fortfido.com

Playin with the big kids!

Today was little Puggle Buddah's first taste of the medium roll! On Saturdays, since there aren't as many dogs, they tend to get all grouped together. Buddah did great with the bigger guys, and they played very gently with him. I captured this great clip of Buddah playing with Chocolate Poodle Bella. Watch them tear it up!



On another note--here's one more reason to take Fido on a regular walk, and how to help your dog age gracefully.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Grrracie!

Gracie came in for her assessment earlier today. She is a three year old, seventy pound, savvy little blond... I mean, Yellow Labrador Retriever. Gracie hung out in the Big Roll, she was ready for the fun to begin as soon as she got in. Denali was the first dog she got to meet, they went side to side, sniffed each other up and tails were a waggin'. Shortly after, the majority of the pack showed up. Gracie started playing with several different dogs, she speaks good "Dog" and definitely passed her assessment.

Way to be Gracie, hope to see you again!

Have a nice weekend,

P.S. Is it safe to kiss your pet? , How to protect yourself from dog attacks, Law aimed at making dog breeding more humane and Dog Trainer Ron Pace saves pet with CPR! One interesting note, a few of our customers have worked with Ron. A second interesting note is that his Niece's dog, Marley, just had his assessment about three weeks ago. Small world!

Meet Patty & Checkout this great pick of Paisley

This morning we welcomed Patty to Fort Fido, her assessment went pretty well. She is a eight year old, fifty-five pound, lovable, Labrador Retriever/Chow Chow/Shar-Pei (?) Mix. Patty had a nice build and deposition for the Medium Roll. She met Gibson and the two played a little chase game right away. As more dogs jaunted in, Patty seemed eager to interact with them. We will be working with her on a few things but for the most part she really did first-rate. It's most definitely not her first time around a pack.

Miller and Paisley's ma Tracy sent me in a groovy action pic of Paisley sprinting on the beach, too cool, thank you!

Take it easy,

One-eyed Marley!

Marley came in for his assessment this morning. He is a one year old, thirty pound, Labrador Retriever/Rottweiler(?) Mix. Marley was the perfect size and had the perfect play style for the Medium Roll. He went in and began to dance a jig with Gibson right away.

Marley is a rescue dog, one of his other unique features is that he only has one eye. I'll tell you what though, that doesn't slow this guy down one bit! Another one-eyed pooch that attends The Fort is Elvis from the Little Roll.

Nice job Marley, we'll see you soon!

Cheers,

-Grant
