I agree with Lou that it is not bloat or stomach twisting as it is not just in one place on the dog when bloat is occurring. It is the entire middle of the body that becomes hard and swollen and your Chow would be yelping in pain. My Bear had bloat and had to be rushed to the vet for emergency surge...

I have a vet who comes to my home and sits down and gives Bones a lot of time to sniff and snort and growl while she and I talk about how Bones is. Then she lets me do some of the work and guides me ie. put the stethescope there-no, down a little bit more etc. and Bones lets us do this together. Usu...

Stephanie, I am so sorry for your loss and wanted to say that Bear was a very lucky Chow to have you. The words you said to him were so beautiful that he must have been glowing in your love. Remember all the wonderful times you have had growing up with Bear and if you can, write about him to us or i...

What a beauty - with that lovely chow look! How old?? I still have to figure out how to post a photo of Bones so you are a step ahead!

Does this beautiful little chow have blue eyes? The picture of him lying by the water bowl looks like blue eyes. In any event, he is a gorgeous chow!!

Oh Judy, I feel so badly for you. Of course you did not do this on purpose, but these Chows have such long memories. Slow and steady wins the race, she will come around eventually. You are so good to your dogs! Hang in there! Debbie and Bones

I am so sorry for your loss and for your son - grieving is such hard work. How old is your son? Have you read him the Rainbow Bridge Story - if not, let me know and I will post it if you want. I saw the pictures of your Simba and just thought in my head, what a beautiful chow with all that red in hi...

My husband and 2 sons are huge fans too so I knew where you got Chewbacca from...I alway thought that chows look like those small Ewoks from Return of the Jedi! May the force be with you Chewbacca - ha.

You are right Judy, Alex has not emailed in a long time. Also has anyone heard about Dakota from Edmonton, Canada and owner Roxanne? She was a dedicated emailer and I don't know why she hasn't emailed. Has anyone heard from her?

Today the one of the cows and licking the salt water were there! Very cute...Debbie and Bones

Congratulations to finally have your chowling in your care ready to start life with him!!!!!! The pictures are adorable - what a photogenic beauty!! I want another puppy seeing him...Debbie and Bones

Taz, I saw the first 3 beach pictures which were so cool. I will try to send to my Norweigen friend who lives here in Calgary with me. The others only showed up as an X and I tried everything to get them on the screen with no luck. Can you send them any other way? It looks like you brush Diego frequ...

What little dolls! I want to hear about the birth. Were you there? Did everything go okay? DETAILS!! Congratulations and enjoy their little lives!

Debbie and lonely single dog Bones

Taz - I think you were wondering what whiskers are?? Am I correct? Whiskers are the long strands of thicker individual hair coming off the side of the face. Cats have them too. Happy Thanksgiving from Canada. Today is our thanksgiving and a day off! I brushed Bones for about 2 hours - he loves it......

You must have been so relieved when the vet told you that you didn't have to put Luke down. Its like a dream come true. Today is the 2nd anniversary of our Bear's death and I would have given anything to hear that I could do something to keep him alive. I'm so happy for you both and for all your ani...

We would be delighted to see the Canadian flag flown for Bones!! It's good to be back daily(almost) to this site. I haven't seen any posts from Dakota's from Edmonton? Has anyone heard how Dakota is? Debbie

Happy Birthday to Milly and Mabel! By now they are probably both fast asleep dreaming of chasing squirrels - hope it was a good one. Bones is not far behind to turn five - he was born on Canadian Thanksgiving October 19, 2000. I couldn't imagine life without him as I'm sure you and Fred feel about y...

this is a subject that I had no idea about until I got Bones. I had Bear another chow for 8 years before we got Bones, and had no idea about *Censored Word* glands. Once we got Bones we learned quickly that when he is scared he sets off his *Censored Word* glands and it has a horrible smell. He has ...

I have been known to stop immediately upon seeing another Chow to chat it up with the owner and compare notes! Since I have been on this website and have a chance to read and write about chows, I get a regular "chow fix". Just another opportunity to say thanks to you all for sharing your c...

Anthony, I think when people say lamb and rice it is usually a store bought lamb and rice meal like the one a lot of chows on this site eat - Nutro lamb and rice meal. Congratulations on your new Chow! Debbie and Bones

Jeff, I had to laugh when I read Pekoe won't use his doggie door. What a dignified fellow not to lower himself! Methinks he is playing a little game with you. Bones plays a funny game with me. He sits at the top of the stairs looking like he wants to go outside, but because experience has taught me ...

Welcome home Confusious! I am so glad that he has kept his wonderful disposition, despite the horrible imprisonment. I have been thinking of you and your family often and keeping your beautiful Confusious in my prayers...what a terrific feeling you all must have had that he is himself. He'll need yo...

I am so sorry that you and your Chow are having this experience. I have not experienced anything like this and find it abhorent that he will be in this cage for so long with no visits from you. I think and hope he will be the same good dog you had before. I think if you introduce him gently back int...
