Happy Birthday Cody! Did you get cheese for your birthday!
Happy 12th!

Bear used to eat bees - he would chomp them right out of the air and it seemed like he didn't get bitten. He must have just chomped then swallowed; I split a gut laughing at him and he'd just look at me in that chow way as if to say " no big deal, nothing going on here"

Debbie and Bones

Special Dark is sooooo cute. How old is he?
It's great that you kept him; your home probably felt like his anyways!
Do you have other dogs? What made you decide to foster a chow? Sorry for all the questions, I just gotta know!

Hi Pam, I'm glad you found us. I really found comfort here when I was grieving my first Chow Bear who died 2 October's ago - I miss him all the time. We got Bones, his cousin, about 4 years before Bear died. I am a very practical person and have worked with dying people and their families for years....

What a deliciously purple tongue you have Sophie!

Welcome to the site! I had a Bear too! When we would all leave for work or school, he would chew on his fur and make an open area - it was due to separation anxiety and we eventually got a chow pup named Bones (his cousin). This helped tremendously and they got along well after the first week or so....

I am a social worker and a mother of 2 boys 5 and 11. I stay home and work part time or less. I love being at home with my boys and Bones. Bones follows me from room to room as I do the daily chores. Wherever I am, he will be within 2-3 minutes watching my every move. I feel so blessed! :biggergrin:

well done...why did you keep persisting? what was so appealing about Sophie? how long have you had her in your home now? and does she let others near her now??

what a beautiful story of rags to riches for Sophie! and for you, a truly loyal and beloved friend.

Judy - I love hearing your story of Millie and Mabel - its like they were meant to be together, doesn't it. I can't imagine one without the other!

I've told this story before, so forgive me, those who have already read it before. When I was 16 years old, my family went to visit relatives in Germany. I was taken by my non-english speaking aunt's sister's home for a visit. No one there spoke english and I spoke very little german. They took me u...

I hope so too. Has anyone heard from her?

Lou, I looked at Lao's photo - what a beautiful boy. You all must miss him terribly. There is something about an older chow that makes them evern more precious - they seem to have such a sense of serenity and wisdom. Was Lao like that is his later years?

Welcome to the site xueshuxin and Songsong! Just a comment that I think it is good that your chow growls when someone comes to the door. I wouldn't try to retrain, but maybe to teach Songsong that if you open the door and let someone in, that the person is welcome in the home. I don't know if that i...

These new paw prints have got my 11 year old son interested in our site. He is trying to think up ways to get my numbers up. I am almost at 100 and will soon be receiving my very first paw print. He marvels at Judy Fox and tells me that I should post only 1 sentence replies in order to get more post...

This is my 11 year old son dictating to me: I feel that its sick that you have to leave your family pet behind because animals have feelings just like us :_| I feel that something should be done about this tragedy :postit-mad: :-x :evil: I think someone should take it up with the American Government...

I wish there were something I could do...
I would be full of anxiety to have lost my Chow for over 204 days and not be able to find him.
What else can be done to know if this posted dog is King?

I would like to send my sympathies to you and your family (people and animals). He must be very missed by the chows and your other pets too.

with thoughts and prayer, Debbie

First of all I would like to say that I was thrilled that there was a competition for Bing; he went from being totally abandoned to having 3 families wanting him! What a joy for chows and chow lovers everywhere. Secondly, as I said to Susan in my private email, whatever is best for Bing is great. We...

I'm still waiting to hear...

My Bear was a horrible drooler and slobber so much so that we ended up using faceclothes frequently during the day to wipe it all off. We ended up just tucking the facecloth for the day into his collar so it was handy at all times. He didn't mind and we didn't get a huge spray of slob and whatever e...

Bones is nuts about bunnies and it is hard to manage sometimes. When we go camping in the mountains at Canmore there are rabbit holes all over the place and bunches of bunnies. If Bones spots one he gives a series of very high pitched barks and pulls on his leash or tie out chain. The series of bark...

Melanie, that picture needs to be submitted to a photo contest. It is so clear and your chow is sooooooooooooo gorgeous. I seriously think it could win a contest or be in a dog calander - what month do the wild lilies bloom?

Hi all, I emailed Susan yesterday saying that I was trying to be patient, but had to ask what was going on with Bing as I hadn't heard anything for 6 days. She promptly replied that she has been working on the 2 other homeless chows because Bing is in a foster home and being well-cared for at presen...

What a visual I got of a feisty 90+ year old grandma chow with an attitude!

How are you doing Jeff? Its a lot of stress for you and Pekoe (and your wife).

Give Pekoe a gigantic hug from us! Debbie and Bones

Hi all, thanks again for all your support and great emails! We filled out the adoption application and contract yesterday and sent off to Susan and as she posted she is going to see Bing at his foster home this weekend. My husband and are are trying not to get our hopes up to high in case he does no...
