Jasper & JoJo

This morning we had the pleasure of assessing Jasper and JoJo. These neat pooches, from the same family, gave The Fort a go and did well.

Jasper, is a cool-looking, four year old, forty pound, Schnauzer Mix. He entered our Medium Roll with his tail wagging, and it became clear early on that Jasper has socialized with dogs before. Although he didn't play a whole heck of a lot, he seemed fairly comfortable spending time with the pack. He "barked dogs off", when not wanting to play, and exhibited very good bite control. Jasper even had a little "play moment", with Medium Roll regular Emmett.

Jasper's "older sister", JoJo, is a kind, thirteen year old, thirty pound, Beagle. This mature gal, stayed with us in our Little Roll. Up there, JoJo was calm and at peace, she didn't have to worry about many younger or larger dogs bumping into her, or agitating her. JoJo pretty much just lounged around, and also meandered a bit. She really did great for an older canine, not minding the few rowdy, young, whippersnappers that she did cross paths with.

Both Jasper and JoJo are welcome to visit Fort Fido any time they'd like. We hope to see them here again soon.

Be well,

- Excellent Elenor -

Eleanor came into The Fort for her assessment this morning. She is a spunky, five month old, forty pound, Yellow Labrador Retriever. Eleanor tried our Medium Roll on for size. Once there, she socialized well with an array of different pack members. Eleanor played with several different dogs, and had a wonderful time here today. This sweet pup is welcome to attend Fort Fido anytime.

Checkout some video of Eleanor having a great time with Lucky.

Take care,

Good golly Miss Molly!

Get a load of Molly! She is a fun-loving, six month old, thirty pound, Black Labrador Retriever, that assessed this morning. Molly is a very cute, wiggly, energy-filled Lab Pup, that is up for anything. Upon entering our Medium Roll, she seemed to know that "good times" were in store for her. Molly is learning to speak "good dog", and her studies are coming along nicely. She socialized a lot today, even getting into some high-paced play with Olive, Lucky, and Mac, amongst several others. All in all, Molly fits in quite well to Fort Fido's pack. She is welcome anytime, and we hope to see her again in the near future.

Here's a grand shot of Molly, just starting to get into the action...

And here she is again with "brother from another mother" Cooper.

Have a nice weekend, stay warm,

Howdy!

Checkout some of the sweet new toys and products that just came into The Fort!

We have some really awesome stuff from KONG. They now have many more good "interactive toys", to help keep the canine-brain stimulated. Some you can stuff with wet food or peanut butter, while others are to be used with dry kibble. Another cool thing KONG now has, is a frog squeaker toy that really lasts... At least compared to other squeaker toys we've come across.

There is also a real neat new line of poop bags and poop bag carries. One of the smartest products we have in now, is an all-in-one food bag clip/measuring cup. The same brand, DEXAS, also have a very clever collapsible bowl.

Last but not least, Cortez, is selling a tremendously good canine oral hygiene spray. It is really neat stuff made by PetzLife. "Corty" has even gotten Gibson and Marco Polo to try it. It freshens breath, while also keeping teeth and gums healthy. It's even safe for humans lol! Made in the USA and Veterinarian recommended.

No just for fun, here's a rad clip, taken today, of the "Handy Man" in action in the Little Roll.

All for now, take care,

Chipper Chowder

Meet Chowder! He is a five year old, thirty pound, Welsh Corgi Mixed Breed, that had his assessment this morning. A very striking dog, Chowder, could be a mixture of several different dogs... Certainly, some type of Corgi (be it Pembroke or Cardigan) is in there, and maybe Miniature Australian Shepherd, or a little Australian Cattle Dog, there could even be a smidgen of Shetland Sheepdog in there somewhere. Without a DNA Test, who knows, but it's sure fun to make guesses.

Chowder stayed with us today in our Medium Roll. A dog park regular, Chowder isn't a stranger to meeting other canines. He met several different pack members this morning, and was curious about his new surroundings. Although we didn't see too much "play" out of Chowder, he certainly had the opportunity. He seemingly enjoyed his experience here, and displayed some decent canine communication skills. Given time and consistency, we believe Chowder will eventually bust out into some play here at The Fort. For now, he's quite welcome to attend anytime. Swell job today Chowder, we'll see you again real soon!

Take it easy,

Just...

In case you missed them, here are some of the hilarious canine related Super Bowl commercials, that aired last Sunday during the game. Once again, dogs, were the highlight of the Super Bowl advertisements.

Audi's "Doberhuaha" was a crackup!

Doritos' "Cowboy Kid" was my favorite!

 

CarMax's "Slow Bark" was a cute one.

 

There was also this quite memorable Subaru commercial.

And last but not least, a re-post of everyone's favorite one, Budweiser's "Puppy Love".

 

Way to go Seahawks, so well deserved, and so well done!

 

Cheers,

Quality Quinn

Meet Quinn! He is a one year old, sixty-two pound, Golden Retriever and Poodle Mixed Breed. Quinn had his assessment bright and early this morning, in The Fort's Big Roll. Quite the social-butterfly, Quinn took to the pack with ease. He frequents the dog park, and has attended Dog Daycare several times before, it's clear that he has been socialized properly. Quinn did a first-rate job here today at Fort Fido, he'll be a pleasure to have amongst our ranks.

Take a look at these cool clips of Quinn having a good-old-time with Chance, Shadow, and Theodore.

Be well,
