Welcome to the site, you are sure to get a lot of feedback here :lol: If you do wish to become a responsible and good chow owner, then you need to approach the decision without any preconceived notions of chows being aggressive. You mentioned that you were a negligent owner, probably that made your ...

Leaving Odessa at home and having someone come to walk her -- no way, I would find that too stressful as I'd be constantly worried and wondering if she was ok, had food, water, was not too hot, etc etc etc, even if the person was reliable. Ask around, maybe even your vet, for good boarding. We visit...

Oh yes, my Odessa loves lying right across the stairs and in the hallways, we literally have to shove her off :lol: or step over her (which I don't like) so that we can pass.

I agree with you Victory, we adopted Odessa when she was two and had been with two previous owners. It took us almost three months before we could hug her. She was so withdrawn and fearful in the beginning but now has changed totally. Wish I had could afford a nice big place with acres of land and b...

Wow Judy, your daughter looks so lovely and the dress is just so pretty, suits her so well and is such a beautiful colour.
I don't bother with the digital as I can never get it right. I have to repair my lovely perfect regular camera that I dropped by mistake and the battery cover broke.

We got Odessa when she was 2 and her fur was badly matted on the tummy. First we tried a brush but it was not very effective and now I use a comb with long teeth and it seems to work pretty well. I am thinking of getting a rake though. Where grooming is concerned, it all depends on Odessa, sometimes...

Congratulations on getting Molly and enjoy her.
