Inspecting Watson!

Today we got the pleasure of welcoming Watson, the 1 1/2 year old English Cocker Spaniel

Elementary my dear Watson!


Watson did an awesome job this morning romping with the Med. Rollers. With such a nice demeanor its no surprise that this cute pup is from Canada. Regularly attending daycare in Vancouver has set him up great for tons of fun here at Fort Fido. Also, as our first Canadian fort friend, he is setting the bar high for future visitors from our neighbor up north!



It was truly a pleasure to meet this pup today, and hopefully they return soon, so that we get another chance!

Thanks for reading and be sure to check in on Monday for this weekends assessments!

- Righteous Ruby -

Meet Ruby! She is a sweet, eleven year old, about fifty pound, red & white colored Vizsla. Ruby hung out with us this morning in the Big Roll. She basically just meandered about, meeting and greeting with different members of the pack. After a little while, Ruby seemed to settle in and enjoy the experience. We hope to see a bit of play out of this Senior Gal in the future.

These Vizslas are really neat canines, and lucky for us here at The Fort, we have several that attend. Awesome job today Ruby, now rest up, cause we shall see ya again this weekend for some Overnight Boarding.

Take care,

-Grant

Short but Sweet

Checkout these three beauties resting in a patch of sun... Actually, they are a few of our most rough and tumble male Big Rollers lol! Here they're taking a rare break from the action. Gage, Theodore, and Zipper, three dapper dogs, one great photo op.

Get a load of new puppy-boy Bob Marley "Jammin" with the wild and wonderful Sahale in the Medium Roll.

Max was getting in the mix as well.

All for now folks, cheers,

Kilted Dog Montage

My band and I just returned from the Bitterroot Highland Games in Hamilton Montana. It was an amazing weekend, lots of Pipe Bands, lots of fun, and, believe it or not, lots of dogs! I was able to meet and greet with several different "Celtic Pooches" including; Irish Wolf Hounds, Corgis (Pembroke and Cardigan), Shetland Sheep Dogs, Collies, Scotties, and Westies, just to name a few. I also witnessed many "Dogs in Kilts", which if you haven't seen, can be quite a hilarious site... Yeah... If you haven't seen any, well here you go!

 

 

Hahaha!

Be well,

-Grant
P.S. OK, OK, those last two are skirts. LOL!

National Dog Day!

Happy National Dog Day from all of us here at FortFido! I hope you all have a great day and get a chance to spend some time with your wonderful dogs!





On another note, here is a great clip of our buddy Louis with the herding ball last week. It sure is entertaining to watch a dog having so much fun with one of these!



Take it easy,

Funny Friday!

This week, I figured I could give everyone a good laugh with some hilarious things found around the web

We'll start off with a blog written from a dogs' point of view, covering funny articles about dogs in the news, or at least dog related articles.

http://boknowsonline.com/category/funny-dog-blog-news/funny-dog-news/

 

Next I figured with October quickly approaching I could throw some costume ideas up so you've got plenty of time to make it happen

 

Cerberus, the guardian of the gates of Hades, in Greek and Roman mythology or at least in this sense, guardian of his food dish, is a great idea for any pooch with a larger attitude than body!  

 

How about a pirate and his first mate, hiding the beloved treasure of bones and chewy toys!

 

 

After the wonder years lol!

 

Use the Force, to fill my food dish!

Thanks again for reading, I hope you got at least a few good chuckles, check back Monday for more of Fort Fido's Blog.

new news

(Yes, these radical looking dogs are made of newspaper, sweet! My what an artist. I want one of these for the lobby.)

Detroit's stray dog epidemic - Yikes, shocking numbers! As if that city didn't have enough problems already eh?

Pesky cat bugs sleepy dog (Video) - Classic lol. That's almost just like Hobbers & Gibson interacting.

People using fake service dogs - The folks that do this are the epitome of "lame", well, at least the epitome of the slang version of that word haha. Someone truly "lame" would be able to justify their service animal. I don't know about y'all, but Hope and I have discussed this many times before. We've both ran into folks out there faking a service dog... It's sad to say the least.

Dog Surf-A-Thon - I always love checking out Surfing Dog pics, they're just hilarious.

Dog's blood saves the life of a cat (Video) - Amazing!

Dog Depression - There certainly aren't too many Fort Fido Dogs suffering from this haha... And if there are, maybe they just need an extra day? ;)

Florida Dog Hangs 20 at the beach (Video) - Yes! I found more surfing dogs.

Woman reunited with dog stolen five years ago - Wow, that is awesome, the odds were definitely not in their favor. Jennifer & Sasha, talk about two "lucky dogs".

Cheers,

-Grant
