Namoo, not Shamu!

Hahaha...

 

Meet Namoo! He is a nine month old, about fifteen pound, Shih Tzu/Miniature Schnauzer Mix. Now Namoo had his assessment this morning, in the Little Roll. He is a happy-go-lucky type of dog, that is all about playing and having a good time, and, that is exactly what he did here today. He integrated into the Small Pack seamlessly, and acquired quite a fondness for Cortez and Rusty, among others. Namoo had a "whale of a time" at The Fort and we hope to see him again soon. Well done buddy!

Here, Namoo is having a blast with good-old-Rusty:

P.S. In other unrelated news, be sure to checkout the documentary film Blackfish. I saw it at The Grand, and it's a good one!

A few clips...

From today!

It was a really good mix upstairs in the Little Roll. Gherie was quite the baller, and he played hard, as he usually does. The rest of the Little Pack had fun as well.

In the Medium Roll, Barkley and Gracie, shared in some "doodle love" lol.

Also in the Medium Roll, Georgie and Molly, chased each other around for a good portion of the day. They're like "two peas in a pod".

Take it easy,

Diego and his little brother

The Fort's old pal, Diego, sent us some recent and wonderful pics of him and his new baby brother... All the way from Germany! Looking good you guys! As always, thank you for the awesome photos.

Be well,

P.S. Please, if you have any holiday photos of your pets, email them to us. We love receiving them and getting them up here on our blog.

Daisy & Shirley

We have two new dogs we'd like to welcome to Fort Fido today.

This is Daisy. She is a 1 year old Visla/Lab that assessed with us this weekend. Daisy is a very playful dog and communicated very well with the rest of the pack. She had a great time here today and especially enjoyed plying with Zipper and Diego. Daisy had a lot of energy to burn off and was a perfect playmate for the other dogs in the big roll.







Next up is this 3 year old, 25lb Husky/Dachshund mix named Shirley. She had her assessment this morning and although she was shy when she first arrived she still enjoyed interacting with the pack. After she settled in she seemed to loosen up a bit and started trotting around the medium area and watching the other dogs play.

Have a good one,
-Matt



Christmas Corty and a couple of clips

Take a look at these awesomely cute pics of "Christmas Corty" lol! Doesn't he look dashing in that wee scarf? Funny, this little guy is gathering quite the collection of outfits and accessories. I swear though, we usually aren't "clothing on dogs folk", but it's hard not to dress up Cortez! Besides, he gets cold easily hahaha... We'll take any excuse! ;)

This morning we scored a few great shots. Two are from the Big Roll, and mostly feature Buddy, Red, and Theodore ripping it up. After that, the last clip, is from our Medium Roll. It definitely captures the excitement in which that play area offers.

 

Cheers,

Emma

Hey everybody, please welcome Emma to Fort Fido! She is a one year old, fifty-five pound, black and white colored, Labrador Retriever/Blue Heeler Mix. Emma had her assessment this morning in the Medium Roll. Fitting in well, she took to her new scene with ease. A "social butterfly", Emma, had fun and played hard with the other pack members. She was particularly fond of Walter, among others. We look forward to having Emma in again, and we plan on seeing her soon for some overnight fun. Marvelous job today Emma!

Here's a little clip of Emma and Walter in action.

Be well,
