"Sam The Man"

Get to know a bit about Sam... He is a five year old, seventy-three pound, brindle, brown/black/white colored Mixed Breed, that had his assessment this morning. Sam stayed in Fort Fido's Big Roll play area. There, he did very well with the pack, wagging his tail, while happily greeting each dog that arrived. In the past, Sam attended a Dog Daycare up North as a regular, so it was no surprise to us, when he fit into the group easily. A cheerful canine, Sam, continued to enjoy his first visit to The Fort, throughout the duration of his four hour stay. He played hard and fast with several different dogs, which was exciting to see. Awesome job today Sam! We shall run into you again soon.

Here's two little clips of Sam having a blast with Theodore and Marty.

 

Take care,

Funny Fido

We are "busy-bees" around The Fort these days, however, it's kind of a slow "news day" today lol... Why don't I just post a few funny dog videos eh? Yeah, that sounds good. Hopefully, there will be one you haven't seen before.

Enjoy!

Bulldog tries to sit in a box that's too small for him. Hilarious!

Here's a good one, "Big Sticks and Small Doors" ha!

Might as well add this gem of a "Little Dog and a Big Stick". What a warrior!

P.S. O by the way, if you like snoopy and the comic Peanuts, good news, there making a new movie of it, and the animation looks really cool!

Welcome Zoey

 

Today we assessed Zoey. She is a five month old, thirty-five pound, Boxer. Zoey stayed in The Fort's Medium Roll where she thrived. This young Dog Daycare regular, is already quite social, and adept at canine communication. Zoey is a very sweet dog, that fit in well with the pack. She played with a few different Fort Fido members, with Georgie and Jack, becoming her favorites.

Here is a couple little shots of Zoey in action:

 

Well done today Zoey, you may visit whenever you'd like.

Be well,

Happy St. Patrick's Day (Bella and Jolie)

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!


This last Saturday Fort Fido had two new canines in for their assessments...

Bella is a kindhearted, six year old, fifty pound, brown and white colored, Basset Hound. Once introduced, she responded well to the other dogs. She didn't do a whole lot of play, but she did socialize and wag her tail a lot. Bella has a very sweet disposition and is perfect for the Medium Roll

Jolie is a striking, six year old, fifty pound, black colored, Standard Poodle. Now Jolie was a bit shy at first, yet she warmed up after a bit of time. She didn't interact as much as Bella, however she did meet and greet with several different dogs in the Medium Roll. We hope to see Jolie branch out some more in future visits. She is a very good looking dog that'll be great to have around.

We are happy to have both Bell and Jolie joining our pack at The Fort, nice job gals!

Have a good day and a safe celebration,

Galloping Gertrude

Yeah... Something like that lol.

Get a load of the Gertie Girl! Gertrude, is an eight month old, sixty-seven pound, lively Bernese Mountain Dog. She had her assessment early this morning in the Big Roll. Once inside, she got in the game almost instantly. She speaks pretty good "DOG" for a pup, and mingled with almost every Big Roller we had today, in a happy and wild way. Gertrude sprinted, romped and played hard, just as we suspected. All the "Berners" we've come across over the years, have been happy-go-lucky and high-energy. We look forward to having Gertrude here at The Fort... We plan on assessing her "sister", Alice, soon. Awesome job today Gertie!

Checkout the following clips of the good-looking-Gertie-gal, in play, with Theo, Max, Eleanor and a few others.

Have a great weekend,

Marvelous Max

We were in for a real treat with this morning's assessment... Meet new pup Max! He is an adorable, three month old, fifteen pound, chocolate colored, Multigen, Labradoodle. Max is the new "little brother" (technically nephew) of Fort Fido Medium Roll champion, Lucy (who is a "F1 doodle"). Now Max followed "big sis" Lucy into the medium play area. Once there, he explored cautiously, unsure of what to make of the place. As the pack grew in size, Max started to come out of his shell and really interact. Georgie, and others, helped welcome Max, getting him to gallivant with them.

Max is here at Daycare to sharpen his social skills, improve his canine communication, and of course, play hard while getting some energy out! Simply put, this puppy dog is here to learn and have a fun time doing it. Lucky for Max, he has an extremely good teacher at home, in Lucy. She's definitely been helping Max with his "studies", and it shows. Lucy is a very calm and balanced canine, the kind of dog folks want to own, a true testament to her ever popular breed. Hopefully Max will follow right in Lucy's "paw prints" lol. So far, so good, as you can see in the following little clip of the duo:

Max had a very positive first day at The Fort, he did a fine job here. We are stoked to have him amongst our ranks.

Like it has been watching Lucy, it will sure be awesome to watch, Max, grow into a respected adult canine.

Take care,

- Tenacious Teddy -

 

Today was Teddy's assessment day. He is a friendly, two year old, seven pound, white, grey, and brown colored, Shih Tzu/Miniature Poodle Mix. Teddy entered Fort Fido with wonder and courage. He marched upstairs to the Little Roll, where he met with Gibson and Seamus right away. Teddy speaks quite good "DOG". That skill, gave him the ability to fit into our pack quickly and easily, which he certainly did. Teddy mostly just hung out with the play group and enjoyed himself. Teddy's gleeful-tail wagged often, as he mingled with the other canines. He chased a few toys around, and generally had a fun time. We are thrilled to know that Teddy will be back into The Fort soon... It looks as though he'll be giving our Overnight Boarding a go.

Although we weren't able to catch Teddy in any major "one on one play", you can spot him towards the end of this little "cross-section" clip.

Take it easy & enjoy that sun,

-Grant
