- Lively Louie -

Today we assessed Louie early in the AM. He is a fifty-eight pound, tan and white, Border Collie Mix. Louie hung out in the Medium Roll today and truly thrived. He communicates with other dogs well, it looked like he enjoyed himself. Louie is most definitely welcome back to The Fort. We think he'll be back in to mingle with the pack soon!

Here's a clip Of Louie and Marco Polo meeting up... Best buddies right off the bat! :)

P.S. Here is the link to the reviews we have gotten so far, thanks again.

Meet Jasmine

This morning we assessed Jasmine. She is a six month old, thirty-six pound, Brindle (with white socks and chest), Boxer. Jasmine was all about attending Fort Fido. The coolest part is that her litter-mate sister Stella already plays here daily! The two met with a fervor, instantly going into play. It was sure neat to see the sisters reunited. Like Stella, Jasmine spoke good dog, played hard and thoroughly enjoyed her stay. For now, both of these boxer gals hangout in the Medium Roll. In time, they will most likely transfer to the Big Roll. Excellent job Jasmine, we know we'll be seeing you soon.

We caught a clip of this morning's reunion:



Have a great day,

A new record!

It was a record day here at the Fort, with the most dogs ever to attend on a Saturday! A great time was had by all, as you can see in these clips:

P.S. If you are looking for something to do tomorrow night... Hit up the Clan Gordon Pipe Band's 48th annual Tartan Ball (AKA Party). It is a fancy night of fun, I guarantee you'll have a great time if you attend. Here is a link to the flyer, tickets are available at the door. Come watch me play the bagpipes! :)

Benny & Leo

We had two assessments early this morning, litter mates, Benny and Leo. These two are super good looking, practically twins! Benny and Leo are twelve year old, chocolate brown, Cocker Spaniels. Benny is twenty-five pounds and has a milk chocolate colored coat. Leo is thirty pounds, he has a dark chocolate colored coat and a little patch of white on his chest.

This dandy duo was fit for the Medium Roll. They are happy little guys who are well adjusted and very social. Benny and Leo both played a little bit today and seemed to enjoy their time with the pack. Based on their energy levels, you would never guess that these two dogs were twelve years old... Five or six maybe, these are healthy dudes!

Hopefully Benny and Leo will be back at The Fort soon, they're most definitely welcome.

Take care,

-Grant
