Peaceful Pete

This morning, a small 22-pound 15 year-old Terrier named Pete cruised into Fort Fido. He went right on up into the small roll and was curious as to why he was there. When the first few pups began to enter into the small roll, Pete learned that this was a place to gather and have fun with other dogs. His tail went up and the socialization began. Pete strolled right through his assessment and he may not have played a lot, but Pete definitely made a lot of friends today. We look forward to having Pete return to The Fort for an even more wonderful day.

Stay dry,

Donar!

Yesterday morning, The Fort Crew got to meet Donar. He is a very active, two year old, seventy pound, German Wirehaired Pointer. Upon entering our lobby doors, it was clear that Donar was not shy, and was ready to rock! He stepped into the Big Roll easily, ready to get his "Dog" on lol. Although he vibrates excitedly with energy, Donar is very polite, and has keen canine communication skills. He made quite a few pals in the Big Dog Play Are, and seemed to take pleasure in being here. We look forward to having Donar in again, and we hope he got a bit of his energy burnt off. Good work Donar, rest up, we'll see you for some Overnight Boarding soon!

Be well,

Happy Memorial Day!

Today we welcomed Pablo to The Fort. He is a 1 year old, 65 pound, black/white Pit Bull mix. Pablo did great for his first day, he came in this morning full of energy and ready to play.

In this clip Pablo is playing with Bella the boxer in the large roll. Also in this clip are Bonnie the Labrador Retriever Mix and Diego the Golden Retriever.

Have a great Memorial Day,

Russell

Today we met with Russell for his Assessment. He is a happy little, one year old, eighteen pound, Pug and Chihuahua Mix. Russell headed up to The Fort's Little Roll with ease. Once inside it, he sniffed about merrily, contemplating the point of his visit lol. Shortly after getting situated in the play area, we had Russell begin to meet the pack... Which he did in proper canine fashion. Russell's "meeting and greeting" was spot on and easy going. In a short time, he seemed as though he'd been a part of our pack for a long time. When it comes to playing, Russell absolutely loves it! He chased toys with a fervor, and even got into a little bit of dyadic (one on one) canine play. Russell will be a great addition to Fort Fido's Little Dog Pack and he can get a ton out of Dog Daycare here. Way to be Rus, we'll see ya around!

Checkout these great little clips of Russell enjoying his visit:

Have a nice Memorial Day Weekend,

P.S. We still have spots available for Overnight Boarding this weekend, give us a call and reserve your dog's spot now!

Thank The Oatmeal

The Oatmeal, is a comic that can't be beat, it's hilarious! When it goes for some canine related laughs, it's even better. Here's the latest:

| Vivacious Monday |

        Happy Monday, I hope that everyone's Monday is off to a good start. The dogs at Fort Fido are enjoying their time with the pack today while their owners are away. The day should be a nice, warm, and comfy one today at a high of 72 degrees Fahrenheit. While out-and-about with your dog today make sure to keep them hydrated in this warm weather. During their stay at The Fort the pups are hard at play, take a look at some of the videos below. 

Take a gander at Rogue, Storm, and Daisey playing around below

Max and Dolce were hard-at-play in the medium roll as well

They were not the only ones at play while in medium roll, Shiva and Max played about too

Make sure to enjoy this wonderful weather!
