Snoring grunting puffing sighing, I love it. Dreaming with baby woofs is so adorable.

Re: A Run for My Money!

I have so been there with Henry :shock: 9.99% of the time, Henry will come. That point one percent, when he looks at you with that glint, he is GONE GONE GONE. One day he found that if he hit the screen door a certain way he could get it open, an off he went, I'm chasing him, offering rides in the c...

Re: Can u feed chows just biscuits

We free feed Henry dry kibble, it's what he likes. He has two cups of Solid Gold Wolfking mixed with one cup Orijen, the Orijen is like his candy, he loves it. Both foods on their own are not quite right for Henry but mixed up seems really good. He only ever likes the cheap treats too, and nothing t...

Re: Please settle a disagreement

I got Henry a rain coat, a little yellow one, which he would wear as a puppy, he soon realised that the rain coat would mean his paws would get wet, he doesn't like wet paws. When he grew out of his yellow rain coat a friend gave him a rather dashing berbour. He tolerated wearing this until he was a...

Re: Male chow owners,HELP!!!!

Henry used to lead my OH a merry old dance at night, stomping (on laminate floor) around until he was let out to go to sleep outside. OH would then dose on the settee and eventually bring him back in. It was worse in the winter when it gets really cold. We have moved to a new house and have carpet i...

Re: I hear thunder, I hear thunder....

Seems like Henry is an oddball then (there's a surprise) as he seemed enjoy watching with me. Sorry some of you guys are having awful weather, it's 30 degrees c today and that is too hot for me but we are getting rain so the farmers are happy enough.

I dunno is that a global tune or just one that those from UK knows? Anyway, last night at about 10pm we started hearing a few rumbles, a severe thunder storm watch was in place ( and for tonight too). We then started to see a few flashes and then the flashes and rumbles were almost continuous with e...

Re: WHY!?

In our old house, Henry's most favorite place to be was tied out front, he had a whole back yard that was fenced but he always preferred the front so he could keep an eye on his neighbourhood. Now the poor old thing has no choice to be tied up our front, we have no fence at all atm, he seems pretty ...

Re: How to Help a Senior Chow Chow

I'm afraid I agree with Judy, the little old Bear seems like he is in pain, is it fair to keep expecting him to carry on? He's had a good life, it's time for him to go peacefully and with as little discomfort as possible.

Re: Do your chows like the same walk?

At the old house we had a few different choices for walks and Henry would always choose which way we turned at the bottom of our path and then the walk would be either clockwise or anti clockwise, sometimes he'd want to go down the back lanes and sometimes he'd get his stubborn head on and take me a...

Henry is so not afraid of storms, he doesn't even react. It's a different matter when I cough though :shock:

You could research Bach's Rescue Remedy, I've not used it on Henry for anything but it is supposed to be calming. I've used it on a teenager :twisted:

We got Henry from a local home. I'd never met a chow before. We walked into the home to go through to the backyard where the puppies were. As we went upstairs (it was a bi level - for you uk'ers a bi level is where you walk in the front door and you have half a flight of stairs up and half a flight ...

Re: Insurance?

Without looking at each policy I will say that neither will cover hip displasia or entropion and any other common problems chows and other dogs have. I would suggest opening a savings account and putting some money aside for the 'just in cases'.

They are gorgeous. Don't hurry in naming your little girl, wait until her personality shows a little more and then the right name will come. Henry was nameless for a couple of weeks.
