How funny thanks for sharing!

Auddymay, I appreciate you being honest with me. I can be a bit psycho with my girls. When I asked the vet about Sophia and the groomer, she recommended the muzzle. Honestly, Sophia really took to her right away as soon as she walked in the door which was weird. She jumped up on her and let her touc...

Well, the mobile groomer came saturday and the girls look wonderful. Sophia did a GREAT job. I did go buy her her own muzzle and she put it on and jumped right in the truck. When she was in the bath and wet, she was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SMALL...all of a sudden, the groomer took the muzzle off , put soa...

I am an expert eye gook remover.... LOL... I use my fingers to clean the girls eyes several times a day. Normally it is not really gooey so it comes right off. I always joke with them when they are getting ready to go outside and they are waiting for their lead, I say " you know the rule, you h...

You are right Bama, that is the chow. He was the same color as yours... the vet did really take to him and gave him a lot of love even when he did not look so great. I think he passed on knowing love and that is what is important. The trainer also took to him as well and he was the one crying at his...

I just want to make sure that I do not put Sophia in a situation where she feels like she has to bite so I am good with the muzzle... when I called around to find a mobile groomer, one of them said that if the dog bites, they will report it. I do not want to put Sophia in that situation so I will ha...

Sophia and Maggie are getting groomed on Saturday by a mobile groomer. They are quite expensive but we want to be able to see the girls, watch what is being done, etc and they really really really really need it badly so the expense is worth it right now. When I called, I asked how they would do a c...

I know that i have seen topics on this before but that Cesar Milan NEVER has a chow in his pack or on is show. I can imagine if he came over and tried to work with Sophia and she did her "I am a chow and I can hear you but I am pretending to be deaf" behavior. She would bite his ankles if ...

HI all, I have not been on in a while. It seems like my life took a turn for the worse beginning last year and i have not been off the roller coaster ever since.... I do logon and read posts though so you all are not that far from my heart. Well, here is my update.... Sophia is sooooooooooo sad. Her...

Oh Carolyn, i am soo sorry to hear about Smurf.. I am sending my deepest condolences to you along with hugs and kisses from Sophia and Maggie..

I am so sorry to hear about Tess. Her story sounds so similar to my Mrs. Tu that I had to put down last year. She too had cancer on her arm that was an open weeping wound but when I took her to the oncologist, she had cancer everywhere. She too was 17 years old at the time that she went to the bridg...

I am so sorry to hear about Jade. She and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. She is now running free at the bridge along with our chowkidz that have passsed before us -- all waiting for the day that we will come walking over the bridge to find them again. Sending hugs and kisses your way fr...

When I call Sophia, she looks at me and runs the other way when she is out in the back on the lead. When she is at the dog park off the leash, I call her and she totally and completely IGNORES me but she really has me in her sights so in her chow-way, she makes like she is following without it looki...

I have my chowgirl, Sophia and her big puppy Newfoundland Maggie... I love love love love chows though, I am very partial....

These are my thoughts... with my chow, I always tell everyone when they come in my house to IGNORE the dog until she is ready to come over to you. If she does not want to come over, leave her alone. I always take precautions because I know that they are capable of snapping and biting. I do not want ...

Too funny, did you write this or find it somewhere?

Sophia and Maggie play all the time. Now that Maggie (Newfie) is five times as big as Sophia, she still tries to play with her like she did when she was small. Often times, Newfie is running around with Sophia fur hanging from her mouth. She will go grab Sophia by the head and Sophia is so petite an...

Hi, I was at the dog park yesterday and was playing with Sophia and Maggie when i noticed this little doggie walking around slowly and i mean slowly and I had never seen it before with anyone there. I asked someone and they said, did you see that car, it just drove up, opened the door and pushed the...

Deb, we go to the Big Walnut Park off of livingston -- it is a nice dog park near reynoldsburg. Just let me know when you want to meet and we can make it happen!

Well Sophia went back to the dog park and this time she did even better than the first time. She was running and playing and chasing balls. She totally and completely ignored the people, kept her eye on me, hubby and puppy the whole time. She did engage a big with the other doggies but for the most ...

Here is a newer picture of little Sophia and her little, i mean BIG, puppy......

Well, little Sophia took a ride with both her parents and her big puppy sister to the dog park yesterday morning early. We let her off the leash and off she went, for the first hour she went all around, sniffing, pee peeing, and paying absolutely no attention to us or us calling her whatsoever. Afte...

I did not realize that the misalignment of the teeth is something that is commonly seen in Chows. My Sophia has a terrible bite -- when I got her, I noticed that her top and bottom jaws do not line up -- she can eat fine though, although she is much shower in chewing than the puppy and will almost a...

I have read through the thread but still do not know what is going on with Elvis now - I see that there is a Berry referred to and is that Elvis's new name. Does the rescue have him? Is he doing better? Are donations still needed? Update on Elvis please?
