C L I P S

We scored some great clips for your viewing pleasure today.

In the Big Roll, Red and Theodore had one "raucous-reunion."


The Medium Roll was alive and kickin' as always, especially early in the A.M. with Shirley and Yuki.


Also, in the Medium Roll Play Area, we had the opportunity to bust out the "Herding Ball." Many dogs enjoy it, but today it was most definitely Jackson's favorite!



Be well,

Time-honored Tibi

This morning we welcomed the "older sister", of Fort Fido Friend, Daisy...

Meet Tibi! She is a gracious, twelve year old, thirty pound, black and tan colored, Mixed Breed. Tibi looks like she could be a mixture of Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, and quite possibly, Chow Chow. For being an older, or shall I say, "more mature canine", Tibi, seemed surprisingly at ease with her new surroundings. She strolled with us to the Medium Roll, where she entered without much hesitation. Tibi acted cool, calm, and collected, while hanging out with the day's wily young pack. The majority of canines therein, being less than half of Tibi's age. We didn't see a whole lot of play or interaction out of Tibi, but that was to be expected. She's a sweet old gal that's welcome to The Fort anytime. Boy, she sure is a far cry from "little sis" Daisy, and her energy level. Haha!

Cheers,

Mighty Marty

Get a load of this good-looking fella, Marty, that we assessed today. He is a chipper, ten year old, eighteen pound, red colored, Standard Dachshund. Marty breezed into Fort Fido this morning, upbeat and without a care. Even before getting upstairs to the Little Roll, he was happily sniffing about and wagging his tail. Once in the play area, Marty continued to explore his surroundings. Straight from the get go, he seemed pretty content with his new digs. As time went on and other canines arrived, Marty acted as if he'd already been hanging out with them lol. He wasn't overly concerned with playing or interacting much, yet he was social enough to stay calm and balanced around the group. It's not Marty's "first time at the rodeo" so to speak. He looks and acts quite spry for the mature, ten years old, that he is. He did well amongst the high-energy youngins', that make up the majority of the Little Roll's pack. Marty is welcome to attend The Fort whenever he'd like. Swell job my man, see ya soon!

Cheers,

Welcome to "The Jungle" Axel!

We've definitely got fun and games, or at least, lots of playmates for you. Hahaha!


Meet Axel, he is a kind, five year old, 101 pound, Bernese Mountain Dog, who had his assessment this morning. Obviously, due to his size, Axel stayed with us and the pack, in The Fort's "Big Roll". He entered calmly and confidently, with a demeanor complimentary to his regal breed. It has been "Burner Madness" around Fort Fido lately, with the additions of Gertrude, Alice, and now Axel. Axel is truly just a big sweetheart. He has been socialized well, and it shows. Axel's idea of a good time here so far, is meeting the others, strolling around, "playing" just a little bit, and then chilling out. He is quite welcome here, and we hope he'll stop in again. Friend of Fort Fido, Zariah, has been a buddy of Axel's for awhile. Cool stuff!

Axel sure is an awesome dog, but, thankfully, he doesn't have quite as much "energy" as the "Axl Rose" of the 80's lol.

;)

Take it easy,

Jethro Tull...

 

Ok, no, just "Jethro" lol!

Jehtro's a handsome, three year old, sixty pound, gray colored, Weimaraner, who had his assessment this morning. A highly-social and athletic canine, Jethro, took to the Big Roll with excitement and ease. He has great canine-communication skills, and makes friends effortlessly. Within minutes, Jethro was playing hard with several different dogs. We are quite pleased to have Jethro here today, he makes a wonderful addition to the Big Roll's pack.

Super job today Jethro, we will see ya around!

Checkout these two fun clips of Jethro having a blast here today... He really took a liking to Stasha, among others.

 

Be well,
