How Sadie saved Michael's life

Just a heads up folks, a Tacoma burglar is using a fake sob story about a lost dog to case homes.

Marine reunites with Military Dog

Dog's weight is a hefty matter Slow down, switch, or stop those treats if this applies to your canine. There are several other ways to "treat", exercise being one of them!

Dogs affected by kids going back to school I don't agree with everything in this article... Specifically the parts about making your departure a "happy time"... I could see that back firing, and exacerbating the situation. I also don't agree with the, "if things don't improve take them to the vet" portion of the article, that isn't going to get you anywhere and will just end up costing you money... Unless of course you want to "drug up" you pooch. Which we aren't opposed to, for at home use in extreme cases. However it is certainly not an everyday solution, and is merely a Band-Aid on the problem. If this applies to your canine, start by reading my multi-part article on Separation Anxiety found here.

Clip it up!

From today's ruckus rolls... All kinds of fun!

In the Big Roll, we had "Ollie" being the usual clown with his buddy Jasper. Theodore had a great time, along with Brix, Jackson, Gage, and many others.

 

 

From the Medium Roll, we have a nice clip of "Bogart" and Yuki running amok.

Upstairs in the Little Roll Play area, Miguel, got the whole pack to party down... She also has a couple of "boyfriends" in Buckwheat and Rusty lol!

 

 

Be well,

Fort Fido "Facelift"

Last Friday (the 22nd), Fort Fido welcomed a fresh and clean "facelift" to our door. Fort Fido has been needing a "facelift" such as this. However, the door painting is just the beginning. Along the side we had a beautification of the beauty bark and potty posts. Once the green paint arrives and we finish the front, we'll be off to the next project. What could it be? Stay tuned to find out!

Stay comfortable,

Jovial Jackson

Meet Jackson, the newest addition to the Fort Fido pack. Jackson is a 2 year old, 80 pound, Lab Mix. He came in for his assessment this morning full of energy and ready to play. He hung out with the large dogs and had a blast. Good job today Jackson! We hope to see you again soon.

 

Here is a clip of Jackson playing with Reilly the Doberman.

One shot of "Espresso" please!

Feast your eyes on Espresso, otherwise known as "Espy" for short. She is a one year old, seventy-five pound, Chocolate Labrador Retriever. Espy came into Fort Fido this morning all fired up, very excited for her Assessment Day. We marched her straight to the Big Roll, where she got down to business right away. A Dog Daycare regular, Espy was enthralled by meeting and greeting the pack...Within minutes, she was playing fast and furiously with none other than Oliver and Theodore, two staples of our large dog play area. The three dogs hit it off beautifully, and Espy, continued to thrive here throughout the day. This veteran canine-socializer should prove to be a nice addition to our pack. Way to go girl, you are welcome at The Fort anytime. We'll see ya soon!

Here is wonderful clip of Miss Espresso in action:
