= Apollo =

 

To cap off our assessment-filled week, we met with Apollo. He is a handsome, four year old, eighty-eight pound, Black Labrador Retriever. Apollo tried The Fort's Big Roll on for size. There, he did a fine job getting to know the pack. Apollo greeted several different canines, and he seems to speak pretty good "DOG". Towards the end of his stay, Apollo decided to bust out into a little play with Fort Fido regular Theodore. The two got along well, but unfortunately we were unable to get a solid clip of their interaction... It happened so fast and unexpectedly lol. All in all, Apollo is welcome to stay with us whenever his owners would like. We expect to see more play and "good times" out of this admirable dog. Nice job Apollo, we'll see ya around soon.

Enjoy your weekend,

A Tip-top Trio

We were certainly "busy beavers" this morning... Fort Fido welcomed three newcomers in for their assessments!

Get to know the mini-pack that is Maye Maye, Milo, and Otis.

Maye Maye is a six year old, twenty pound, beige and white colored, Lhasa Apso/Cocker Spaniel Mix. She did well upstairs, in the Little Roll, and seemed to dig the experience. Maye Maye's a smart canine that reminds us a bit of Fort regular, Mimi.

Milo is a five year old, twenty-five pound, brindle marked, Dachshund Mix. He's a sharp looking dog that also did a good job here today, with his "sister" Maye Maye, in the Little Roll. Milo was very watchful over his "mini-pack" members. He too, enjoyed his stay.

Last but certainly not least, was Otis. He is a five year old, thirty-two pound, beige colored, Pomeranian Mix. Now Otis seemed to have the most "big brother" energy, out of the trio. He watched over his "siblings", as a big brother traditionally would. He socialized well, and was quite eager to meet with incoming pack members. Although none of the three dogs played too much, as it can be a lot to take in on a first day... Otis, was definitely the most active. He frolicked and meandered about the Little Roll play area in high spirits.

Maye Maye, Milo, and Otis are welcome to come back to Fort Fido anytime. We plan on meeting with them again soon.

This isn't too "action packed", but in the following clip, you can spot each member of the "trio".

Cheers,

P.S. Milo, his name is pronounced M-Y-L-O-W, not to be confused with M-E-E-L-O-W lol! Just like the "Milo" from one of my favorite pet-movies.

Lucky & Max Clip Action

I just scored some really fun clips of Fort regulars, Lucky and Max, involved in play. Their combined play-styles make for a fast, furious, and high-energy show. The two have known each other for a few months, but haven't engaged quite this much until recently... Maybe it has something to do with Lucky's stylin, new, aerodynamic haircut? Or maybe it's the fact that Max missed a week of daycare? Hahaha, I think both of those things factor in.

For your enjoyment, here are the awesome clips, taken from the Medium Roll:

Take it easy,

Introducing Katie & Barclay

This morning we had two cute and lively little rascals in for their Assessment Day. Meet Katie and Barclay!

Katie is a sweet, four year old, eighteen pound, white, black, and brown colored, Wirehaired Fox Terrier. She stayed with us in The Little Roll, and did a fine job socializing with our pack. Although not quite as outgoing as her "brother" Barclay, Katie, appeared to be "in the groove" and comfortable during her stay.

Barclay is a three year old, twenty-two pound, wheat colored, Cairn Terrier. He marched up to the Little Roll, along with his "sister" Katie, and also did a first rate job of palling around with the other canines. Barclay hints at being slightly more lively than Katie, and seemed to play a bit more than her. He even did some one-on-one play with other pooches.

Being Dog Daycare regulars, Katie and Barclay are used to, and enjoy, the daycare experience. Today, Katie and Barclay met about a dozen of similar-sized dogs, of various ages and play-styles. The two had a delightful first visit and we are enthusiastic bout their return.

In the following clip, you can spot Katie and Barclay amidst the action.

Be well,

Jack & Jill

Went, not "up the hill", but upstairs to the Little Roll lol. That is where they had their assessments early this morning.


Jack is a eight year old, twenty-two pound, black colored, Miniature Poodle. His littermate-sister, Jill, is an eight year old, eighteen pound, black and white colored, Miniature Poodle. Both Jack and Jill did a good job here today at Fort Fido. They weren't quite sure what to think of the place at first, but after a while, they settled in nicely. These very comely canines socialized decently, and have been around other dogs many times before. There wasn't too much play out of the "mature" Jack and Jill, however they seemed to enjoy their visit with the pack. We will most certainly allow Jack and Jill to come to The Fort anytime.

Happy Monday,

-Grant

Pretty Lexi

 

This morn we had Lexi in for her assessment. She is a five year old, eighteen pound, chocolate colored, Miniature Poodle. Lexi is a very good looking dog, and it is almost as if she could be related to Medium Roll Regular, Barkley. She hung out upstairs in The Fort's Little Roll. Lexi didn't do half bad here today, she frolicked a bit, and met with a few different canines. Lexi wasn't really into playing, however, she was very comfortable with the Dog Daycare environment. We may not see Lexi a whole heck of a lot, but we shall be seeing her for a Overnight Boarding stay sometime down the road.

Lexi and Barkley are only a few months apart in age, darn close, and almost close enough for me to say "separated at birth", but not quite lol. Keep in mind, this is Barkley's baby-badge-picture, he's only three months old in this shot.

Have a nice weekend,

-Grant

Bear & Kaya

Today we assessed two very striking dogs from the same family. Meet Bear and Kaya.

Bear is a fuzzy, seven year old, twenty-seven pound, red and white colored, Shiba Inu. This "grizzly" dude is quite photogenic. He hung out with his "sister" Kaya in our Medium Roll. Bear truly lived up to his Spitz ancestry, with his exotic-good-looks and spirited demeanor. Bear played a tiny bit with Fort regular Jack.

Kaya is a spunky, two year old, twenty pound, red and white colored, Basenji. Now, like the Shiba Inus, these Basenjis are also really fascinating, and exotic looking dogs. Otherwise know as the "African Barkless Dog", they have several monikers. Kaya, was no exception to the great breed, with her alertness and curiosity, she strutted into the play area confidently. Although she didn't "play" much, she was quite active in meeting and greeting with the other pack members.

Both Bear and Kaya are welcome to stay at Fort Fido. We look forward to caring for them during a future Overnight Boarding visit.

Here, you can spot Bear and Kaya getting to know Jack.

Cheers,

-Grant
