Two speeds: stop and go go go!

Last night things got pretty cuddly with these sweet sleepers! Cayenne and Louis were best buds, and Tikvah really liked squeezing into the tiny bed, haha. Reminds me of a certain bulldog that stays with us ;-)

The sleepiness ended when we opened up shop for the day's daycare dogs, and we got some great peeks at the action in all three areas. Upstairs, Marlee and Oliver were trying to figure out how to play fetch and share at the same time. Hilarity ensues!

In the Medium Pack, Tikvah was running amok with pals Lucy and Phoebe. These girls definitely know how to have a good time.

Large pups Max and Red had a "clash of the titans" in the big roll. These boys had a great time together, and were a really well-matched pair.

After this rip-roarin' day, we'll have some more cute sleepers tonight I bet!

Our friends are at it again!

Here's a couple of clips from this morning at The Fort! First off, we've got Zipper, Marty and Stella romping with the Big Rollers

 

 

Next Up we've got Pancake and Macey, a pair of adorable medium rollers, also this clip features Lucy with her awesome new, summer ready hair-do!

 

 

And last, but certainly not least we have a couple of the puppies from our Medium Roll. Yuki, and Sierra play as Max patiently watches from the sidelines, waiting for the perfect moment to pounce!

 

 

 

Another great day with friends here at Fort Fido. Remember to check in on days your pup was with us, and maybe you'll see them here on the blog or playing on the television in the lobby.

Dashing Dax

This morning we met a nice gentleman by the name of Dax. This charming seven-year-old Australian Cattle Dog joined up with the other medium dogs to get the lay of the land here at the Fort. A daycare veteran from Colorado, Dax stayed calm and confident throughout his stay this morning. He wasn't quite ready to bust out all the stops with our other pack members, but he spoke very good "dog" and had a great "Alpha" sort of presence about him.

We'll be hanging out with this handsome guy more this weekend.

You're the man Riley, article, & Happy One Year!

Riley's ma, recently sent me this hilariously cute clip, of Mr. Riley getting very excited about heading to The Fort. We absolutely loved it, and it certainly made our day. Thanks guys!

In other news, although it's pretty obvious, getting exercise is extremely important for us humans, and our pets... This snippet I found from King 5 News, sums up the advantages and benefits of "breaking a sweat" with our canine companions.

Dog owners have built-in workout partner

Well, I sure hope this rain will Peter out... If not, and you aren't up for a jog with your pooch, drop on in to Fort Fido. The pack will get your dog "dog tired" and they'll stay dry. Fortunately, this upcoming weekend looks promising.

Speaking of weekends, I hope y'all had a nice Memorial Day Weekend, which by the way, just marked our one year anniversary of running 24/7, 365! Woo-hoo! We aren't stopping this operation. We have learned a lot over the past year, and we are running strong.

Thank you very much, to all of our wonderful customers, for your support!

Cheers,

-Grant
P.S. Summer is fast approaching, be sure to make those Overnight Boarding reservations asap. Also, be sure to grab your Fort Fido Stickers, we have several left, in two colors, and they look awesome!

Welcome Kingsley!

 

This morning we had the great pleasure of meeting an adorable, 15 week old, German Shepherd puppy named Kingsley. Kingsley started out over in our medium roll and was a bit timid at first but quickly warmed up to the other dogs and started to play. When Kingsley gets a little bit bigger he will graduate over to our big roll and have lots of German Shepherd friends to meet. Here is a clip we got of Kingsley and Stella (Boxer) playing early this morning.

Kingsley did exceptionally well for his first day and we look forward to seeing him again.


Have a great week,
-Matt

Mischevious Max!

We rounded out our week with one last awesome "newbie." Little Max is a Border Collie-mix, and stole our hearts right away with his smashing good looks. Curious and smart, he had a good time checking out the other dogs in the medium roll. He was a little trepidatious of the bigger guys, but did well with the pups closer to his own size-- the ever-playful Rudy kept him company, as did our boarding buddy Frances.

Max is joining the Fort at a great time for socialization. The puppy months are especially important for exposing your dog to new people, places, pups, and experiences. Having such a wide range of experience under his belt should help this little guy to grow up balanced and confident. We look forward to watching him grow and learn!

Beautiful Beau

Early this morning we met yet another fun pup-- a sweet cream colored Golden-Retriever mix named Beau. He didn't waste any of his time getting right in to play with the medium dogs, and went right to work putting his charms on with Rudy. They were fast friends, and had a great morning together!



Beau fit right in with our pack and daycare environment, and it should go a long way towards keeping him happy and entertained.

Here's to even more fun days in the future!
