Siriol - you are so right. Altough my dogs are still young - but I value every moment. I sing good morning to them every morning and give them five minutes of hugs and loving and kissed. I want my every mroning to bring joy and tail waggin to them. And, every night we snuggle and I give them kisses ...

The pictures are fabulous.
Tippsy is as beautiful as ever.
And, Jasper is looking more and more like Mia - funny skunky tail, lol!

Yeah, I am afraid my guys would be too intrigued to see the danger.

I would make one. Get a catherter and large needle from a medical supply house. The block of wood you can make. The hole in the wood just has to be large enough to allow the plastic tubing through. It prevents the dog from choking on the tube, trying to bite it or chew on it. It also keeps them occu...

Funny you mention this, but my Mia hates my cleaning man. He has been coming ever week three years, since before she was born and she barks at him and won't even take a treat from him. No matter what. I always give him treats to give her, if I am here when he comes, and she will absolutely not take ...

thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families.

The older real chows were the open faced chows. Ony in the breeder world have they started breeding closed faced chows for the "look". But our open faced chows are every bit a chow. But don't tell him that - it may start another agrument and that would be useless. Sometimes it's easier to ...

LOL!!
Same amount.
No matter the chow or mix - a love is a love.

There is a place called Nature's Pharmacy and it's online. The bloat kit has an instruction book, a long plastic hollow tube, a block of wood with a hole in it to keep the dog's mouth open and a bottle of charcoal (kind of an anti gas/anti poisoning mixture) which should help the dog with gas if you...

If its one of those white sterile bones with the hole in the middle - they should be fine. My chows won't chew on anything. That's my problem - they really don't get too interested in the nylabone or the sterile bones that I have for them. They have NEVER chewed anything but the nylabone, reindeer h...

I usually give them only nylabones (xtra large) and the reindeer horns (xtra large) to chew on. The problem is since they don't chew on their toys and the nylabones and reindeer horns only keep them occupied for a few mins, I am afraid that they don't get enough to chew on. I see tartar building up ...

Siriol, that's funny - sounds just like me.
It has been raining for weeks and weeks.
In fact this whole year we got more year rain than ever before.
So I sit by the window and "huff".
(Ok I don't, but Mia and Chutters do the Huffing.)

I think we all have the SAD disease, LOL

OK a large buck with probably large antlers - I would be scared too.
I think my Mia would try to attack to protect me and that would be a mistake. i would hate that.
Yeah, I would be scared too.
Glad you are ok and the deer went a way without incident.
You're smart - and did the right thing.

Warning – please read. Today I had the chance to use my Bloat Kit but not for bloat, for one of my chows choking on rawhide. Now, I know better – and never give my dogs rawhide or even chewable/edible bones because they could get stuck in the throat, expand and block the tubes to the stomach and sma...

Ok, I am still laughing at the fruit bat - just giggling away over here over that one, LOL!

Jess...I just have to tell you that your signature avatar is AMAZING. Tippsy and Jasper are just beautiful, gorgous chow babies. The photo shows those beautiful faces and soulful eyes. I just love the picture - you have such beautiful chow babies.

Ok just so no one gets mad at me - it was just water and a candle olive in a martini glass, LOL!!

Mine eat twice a day and poop twice a day - sometimes more if they find just the right spot.

Aww.. Chutters is sad to hear that, LOL.
Chutters wanted a drinking buddy.

I think creams and cinnamons are more rare, but I could be wrong. The most common colours are black and red. Only creams usually have flesh coloured noses. Although in the States I think that that is not allowed in a dog show. The colour must be black on reds, creams, cinnomons and blacks and can be...

She's so beautiful.
Does she have a little german shepherd in her? She's got the most beautiful eyes. And, she does look so happy.

When I went out of town, I had a couple of neighbors come in and feed and look in on the chowdren. My car had been in the shop and when one of my neighbors went to pick it up for me and bri ng it to the house, another neighbor said that Chutters got so excited about a minute before the car arrived, ...

I agree 100% - I have been paying for an alarm system and I wonder why.
We have the best alarm systems anywhere.

I found a dog show last Thanksgiving by accident - apparently they have been having them on Thanksgiving for a while now. I will definately be watching. Actually, I cheat. I record it and breeze throught the commercials and on to the chows.

Maybe it would help to have some people come over and socialize him by getting used to people coming up to him and have each one give him a real treat - something he loves (like chicken or something.) Try to get him used to meeting people and having good experiences. Make sure that you are right wit...
