Layla, so sorry to hear of Alfie's health problems--it's hard to see your baby hurting, I know. Timber was diagnosed with elbow displasia at 5 mo. and we have been treating it conservatively with the condroiten/glucosamine/EFA's & wt. control, as the specialist here did not really encourage surg...

REALLY VERY GLAD to hear Kylee is better! I agree, it is better to share and draw on the support when you do need it. And by the way, do you know how often you have been there for us as we flounder and search for help? Your encouragement and support has often steadied me when I'm worn out with anxie...

Melanie, I haven't been on line for awhile and then I found this post--Kylee is 16 years! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!! Probably breaking chow-records everywhere! But I am so sad for you to be hurting so much now with her changing health. I hope so much for Kylee to rally and for you to get to see & enjoy...

That picture above was left to right: Sherill & Colonel, Laurie, Vickie, and Marty. And then there's: Vicki's pretty little Kyra, enjoying her fan http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/nondon/kyra.jpg Handsome Colonel http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/nondon/colonel.jpg Just relaxing (Vicki ...

Jerry, hope your Benny feels better soon. When Don saw pics and the Benny rug, he thought Benny looked like a retired king. I think so too, such chow dignity. I'm trying to pull my few pictures of chowfest out to share--don't do this often so here's the first: http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s8/n...

Whew! I finally had time to sit down and add my 2 cents. I had so much fun!!! It was an idyllic weekend for an unforgettable Southern Chowfest in the loveliest of settings. Sherill, Mark & Colonel--THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful home! You were outstanding hosts/hostess & made us all so...

Ha! Ha! Ha! I did the same thing, signed up for a mydogspace--just to try to make some connections--I couldn't get onto Bluetonguetalk--they have a 2-day delay, now I won't need to.
Ahhhhhhh...home at last

Chow intelligence, chow dignity, chow stubborness--I'm sure it was all three!!! And there was I, with no idea beforehand of the cartoon I would find myself in.

But I am wiser now . . .

Yes, I am certain that bribery is my ONLY hope! And if that fails, might as well just give it up and get a border collie.

Bama,
Is there still room for more? Timber says please, please, PLEASE let her come play too?
My work schedule has been up in the air, but I think I will have that week-end off. It's about a 4 hr drive to Birmingham & it would be great to meet y'all!
Kathy.

You're right! Timber was definately not impressed with an award. If I could have made her believe there were treats involved it would have gone much better for me. I'll have to devise a new plan, possibly involving some sort of trickery. . .

Oh, it was so embarrassing. . . . It was "Dog Daze" in Destin today, so I took Timber along and she was a perfect little lady, even with all the other dogs and all the commotion. Tons of vendors and booths and even an opportunity to test for Canine Good Citizen. Well, I've never exactly tr...

Congratulations! What a beautiful little baby chowbear!!

It is "Solid Gold Seameal" Mineral and Vitamin Supplement and you can find it on-line at various sites; you could try http://www.onlynaturalpet.com and then key 'solid gold seameal' in the search. I really like the differences I've seen when I use it. Timber's coat is sure thick & shin...

Wow, I know how scary that is! When I brought our new baby Timber home, she was only 7 wks and just toddling, my husband's older chow Lady HATED her. Lady is a very strong alpha and showed her teeth and hissed at Timber if she came within 5-6 ft. That first week, when Timber was running through the ...

FUNNNNEEEE!!! I think these dogs need a job to do! Timber will also hunt out in the yard and then bring up on to the porch these giant moths,& huge crickets (ugh!--I didn't know the bug world could grow to be so big!!) And then she plays with them, looking confused & disappointed if they do ...

Layla,
I'm so sorry--Milo was so lucky to have been loved by all of you. Maybe it seemed like too short of a time for you, but he had a richness of life with you that he would never otherwise have known.
I am so sorry though.

Kathy

So sorry to hear news so sad. Your chow baby was so lucky to have had you to have loved him so much.
If I could say something to help.
My heart goes out to you.
May the 13 years of the wonderful memories you have and treasure bring you comfort.


Kathy.

David, Three years ago I was living in Sheboygan WI and walking my collie on a bike path, when a roller blader came flying past. Banner was the sweetest of dogs but he ran up to this girl for attention, and his canine tooth caught her leg as she was stepping forward. Well, this girl says don't worry...

Taking your chow fishing--that would be good company!! And fresh trout--that has to be just about the most perfect nutrition.

That pic is soooooo cute- Millie really is lovely, and you could almost put a caption under her picture like "GO AHEAD AND MAKE MY DAY!"

Chows are so smart! Tell me it's not just because I'm a proud mom--but it sure seems like these chows do a little more thinking about everything--almost seem to be able to reason? which everyone says dogs cannot do. But I've seen GS with that extra sense, and chows seem to have some of that too. Kin...

I just have to share something so funny and also interesting about this shaggy chow I live with. Like you all, I use treats & rewards for behaviors & Timber knows how to charm with her tricks to get the treat. Well, I had some left over broiled fish from supper--it was catfish--so I thought ...

I am so glad I glanced at this topic! Actually have been thinking just this last couple of days how bratty Timber has been acting. She's 4 1/2 mo old, does go to puppy classes, has been really good with the mouthing stuff, but now when I get those sweet little kisses I feel her teeth nick me a littl...

Cherie, I LOVE Sids Calif black bear picture--that is so adorable! I had a collie with that double coat and same thing, especially when the weather is warm or humid & the coat gets wet, if he's not brushed out down to the skin till the coat's dry-- or maybe an insect bite would start it-- someti...

Bama, this is good!!! How did you come up with this plan? Very creative and I can see how it would work, really good principals mixed in there! I have the food dish situation and the 'let's get the cat now' idea to work on at my house.
