Miss Mei-Mei

On September 22, 2011, Miss Mei-Mei crossed the rainbow bridge. It was a sudden departure. We did have time to say goodbye and I told her how much joy she brought to my life. She was a beautiful black Chow that I rescued and her departure has hit me hard. Goodbye Miss Mei-Mei and give your sister Ma...

Re: Lost Miss Mei-Mei

Miss Mei-Mei is fine. She has learned to walk in the trails created by Max and Mikko. Usually she is bouncy and happy in the snow, but this storm dumped way to much! Final total is 21 inches in less than one day!!

Lost Miss Mei-Mei

We are having a major snow storm, so far the 5th largest snow in history. This morning I let Max-A-Million, Miss Mei-Mei, and Mikko out in the yard to take care of business and we lost Miss Mei-Mei in a snow drift! Hubby and I negotiated the snow to go to her rescue, and when we finally dug her out....

Re: Too Cold!

Goodness, and I thought that +17 was cold! Here in Chicago, the average temp for today should have been +34. Snow from Minnesota has not reached us yet. Max-A-Million and Miss Mei-Mei have to be dragged into the house, they love this cold.

Re: For all the itchy chows!

Thanks Chowling 1964, but I already use salmon oil. Our other Chows, Max-A-Million and Mikko have no problem with salmon or cod oil, but little Miss No I'm Not Eating That, And Don't Even Think About Hiding it in Something, will not not take either. She is eight years old, five years living with us,...

Re: For all the itchy chows!

Hi All! Miss Mei-Mei developed the itchies this summer for the first time. I was at wits end trying to comfort her and end her anguish. She was unable to sleep because of the itch, and she became scabby from the scratching. While searching for remedies, (the vet's didn't help at all) I came across t...

Re: Milly (RIP)

It was so heartbreaking to hear of the passing of Millie. Millie and Mabel were the first chowlings I met on the old site, and their activities were the topic of many discussions here in Chicago. Our family sends our condolences to Fred, Judy, and Mabel. Hopefully Mahayana and all our other Chow fri...

Never admit to an insurance company that Chows live in the insured residence. I live in Illinois and Chicago where insurance companies are readying themselves with rate increases because of potential "dangerous dog" legislation. My Mei-Mei is a Keeshound mix and Max-A-Million is a Spitz mi...

Max-A-Million does a slow wag all day long. It's non-stop, but soooooo very slow, except when its time for treats, then that tail can really move! Mei-Mei's tail will wag only when she's on a walk, getting ready for a car ride, or getting her treats. Its a very fast wag that will stop the minute the...

My Mei-Mei will not touch water with a 10ft pole. No kiddie pool, back yard sprayers, rain, puddles... nothing. During a rain, I have to force Mei-Mei out of the house so that she can pee and poo. If the sidewalk is wet, she will walk as if the water is really bugging her. As soon as we are home she...
