Re: Terrible News, Onyx passed away tonight

Jeff, I too am another member that reads everyday but doesn't post often. My heart is breaking for you & Conner; I know how grateful rescue chows are. Our Genie had been terribly abused before being rescued and was the sweetest little girl, who was always so happy to be with the family she ended...

Re: Scary Morning

Victory, Sorry I haven't posted in quite some time, but we are getting ready to sell our house & move from NJ to Florida; it has been hectic! I do stop by & read regularly and felt awful that Dreamdancer had such a bad experience. I'm so glad to hear that he's doing better! However, his sist...

Re: Lost 2 adoptions in 1 day.

I agree with Victory; try West Texas Chow Rescue. Linda was womderful to work with and our Ginger Lily is a sweetheart! The trip from Texas to NJ did her no harm, and she was a love bug from the minute we got her at the airport. Linda works with you to only ship them when weather is just right. Vict...

We had two adult chows, male & female, when our daughter was born 21 years ago. They had never been around children, and Kai, our female could be aggresive at times, so we were concerned. We should't have been! Kai's maternal instincts kicked in & I should have just thrown away the baby moni...

That's so wonderful!! Ginger Lily does it too & we refer to it as her "waggle butt" (wagging tail/wiggling butt); it's so cute & she's out first chow to do it. All our other chows displayed more of the "chow" attitude.

What a gorgeous, gorgeous girl! I too can't believe how big she is already. Ginger Lily is about a year now & only weighed 37# last week at the vet. Looks like Kyra will be much bigger than that.

Her eyes are looking great. Enjoy your little sweetheart!
