I sent a donation as well. I am glad you posted his information. It would be good to know of other rescues that need help as well. I'm not wealthy but I can certainly help out some.

Congratulations! I have a new baby that is 10.5 wks old now and I will tell you they keep you busy. He is into everything so puppy proofing the house is a must. Shoes and any clothes/towels he can get to are his fav. Also loves electrical cords! Yikes! I have lots of toys for him to chew but his fav...

My Kody despised the camera and would 'head for the hills' every single time he saw it. The only pictures I could get were with someone holding him or of his rear end as he took off...lol.

'Ummm, Chows are suppose to have a blocky head. The idea is to let the dog develope before having them fixed.' Well that's what I thought even though Kody did not have a big blocky head but she made it sound like a bad thing and had me all confused. I'm going back to my vet and figure out this neute...

The vet I am using for the short term (I can't bear to go back to my regular vet yet) recommended neutering Shug at 6 mos. She did say that if I wait it could affect his skull/bones. Something about having a bigger blocky head. If I wanted that then I should wait til after he was a year old. Basical...

I watched a trainer on the Oprah show talk about this issue and she said to immediately turn your back to them when they jump on you. They don't get any attention negative or positive for jumping..they get ignored. She also had Oprah practice with treats teaching them to sit rather then jump for a g...

I too am very sorry to hear of your loss. Having just suffered one of my own I feel your pain. Maybe like me you will decide to get a new chowling to love.

I too would call the vet ASAP and if you can't get your vet due to it being the weekend try one of those 24 hr emergency clinics. I'm not a expert by any means but it just doesn't sound good to me.
