These two lovely ladies are proving themselves to be welcome additions to the Fort Fido crew! Three-year-old mixed-breed Stella and her sister, a nine-year old Viszla named Lilly, had their first playdate with us today. Friends and neighbors of longtime Fido regular Abbey, a spunky little wire-hair Fox Terrier, these ladies definitely know how to be sociable. Stella was a little more of the "social butterfly," while her older sister preferred to share her calm energy with the pack.
Stella made good friends with Marley, another mixed-breed who looks like he could have been her littermate! In this short clip of them playing, it is hard to tell who is who!
These good little gals are more than welcome back, and we would always love to see more of them. Assessments passed with flying colors!
Hotdog! I thought the clip we scored yesterday was good... Get a load of these two clips from today.
First up, we see Gingerrunnin' amok (BTW I'm using that phrase in a jokingly good way lol.) upstairs in the Little Roll. She has been having a blast here at The Fort since her first day. She also has been getting the Little Pack to engage in lots of play... Not just ball time play. From wrastlin' to chase-me games, this little dog does it all with any pup that can keep up. Gherie, Marlee, and Riley, were just a few of Ginger's chums this visit.
In the Medium Roll, Ginger's big sister, Macey, had her "Whirling Dervish" impression on par with Gingers hahaha. Macey has been playing strong with several dogs from our ranks. Today, she sprinted around the most, with young dogs Pancake and Sammy.
Today was our pal Buddy's second birthday. Congrats little dude! With that, Fido's Pack really lucked out... Buddy's ma, was very kind to make homemade dog cookies for all the dogs in attendance today. Talk about super cool, thank you Bonnie & Buddy. Please be sure to grab a few cookies for your pooch on the way out, there are plenty. :)
Earlier today, we captured a real swell clip of Fort Fido "power-doodles" lol, Jackson and Lucy, playing fast & furious in the Medium Roll. It is what these two dogs do best! They have gotten to know each other quite well over the past few months. It's really neat to see them play so wonderfully together.
First we have Dolly. Dolly is a 2 year old, 20 pound, Swedish Vallhund. Much like Corgis, The Swedish Vallhunds are affectionate, energetic, cattle herding dogs. Dolly was a bit hesitant at first but quickly warmed up to the medium roll. Here is a clip of Dolly playing with Jackson the Goldendoodle and Jackson the French Bulldog.
Next we have Olive. Olive is a beautiful, 2 Year old, 50 pound, Liver Spotted Dalmation. Olive did great in our big roll today, jumping right into the action with the other dogs. Heres a clip from this morning of Olive playing in the big roll.
Both Olive and Dolly did a great job today and we hope to see them back soon!
This chilly Saturday morning we got to meet a sweet and sassy lab pup named Harley. He is nine months old, and is all about playing! He took on any and all comers, and played hard but fair with some of the other labs we had here this morning. Bubba, Flash, and Ryker all had a turn playing with this fun guy, and everybody was left exhausted by the end of his assessment! This little guy is going to be a lot of fun in with our big dogs, and will make a great addition to the pack-- welcome to Fort Fido!
We met Bingley for his first daycare day yesterday, and he stayed with us last night-- our fun doggie version of the Bing Challenge! He is a very sociable gentleman, and took to Tikvah straight away. Luckily for him, he gets to play with her for a few days as they are both boarding together. It's always more fun to have a slumber party with a good friend! He's been doing fantastically over with the medium guys, and seems to really enjoy his time with the pack.
We've been having some really great dogs joining up with us lately, and hope that the trend continues! A big thanks to all for your continued support,
Sometimes here at Fort Fido, opposites do attract! Jackson, this spunky little year-old French Bulldog, may have been the opposite of Dobie Bane physically, but it was easy for them (and all of us!) to see that their energy levels were the same. Both new to the Fort Fido crew, these pups were great playmates during Jackson's first visit this morning. It was great to see that Jackson was so well socialized-- he didn't even have a shell to come out of, he was excited and playful right out of the starting gates!
Both of these boys had a great time, and I know that they will continue to do so as they attend daycare with us here. It was great to get to meet Jackson, I always think we need more Frenchies in here ;-)
This Bane is a hero! Newcomer Bane is a 4 month old, 42 pound, Doberman. Its no surprise to us that Bane and Kelsey's dog Finnley were a dynamic duo! Heres a clip of their antics that went on after hours last night.
