What a generous offer! I would love to take you up on it. Since you are hosting, when is good for you?

I agree you have made a generous offer. What can we bring besides the chows?

Happy belated birthday, Holden!

Tomorrow Sophie will be three years old. Happy Birthday to my beautiful Sophie!!!

I am in the western suburbs. I have heard bad things about the dog park near me. The head of the humane society where I adopted Sophie told me a couple of dogs where killed in fights when owners didn't control their dogs. Yikes! So I haven't taken Sophie and Ty there. Chris, are you sure you want a ...

My condolences on your loss. Bear was a brave soul and I know you will miss him greatly.

I also find the claim about the Humane Society strange. If it wasn't for the local humane society I wouldn't have my Sophie. They rescued her from Chicago Animal Control where she would have been euthanized. I also wish the Mrs. Helmsley's will had been more specific. It will probably be years befor...

If it was the same dog, then it is time for you to press charges. I know that sounds harsh, but Bear has been very badly hurt twice now. If he hadn't have been with your wife, she might have been badly hurt. Bear has been very brave and I pray that he will heal.

Speaking of the heartworm meds. I live just south of Chris in the fine state of Chicago--oh, I mean Illinois. Mosquitoes are a big problem. My shih tzu, Ty, is a rescue and he tested positive for heart worms when he was rescued. Fortunately, it was a mild case and he made it through treatment with n...

I am in the Chicago area. This would be fun.

Oh, such pretty babies. Makes me wish I'd seen Sophie as a puppy.

Sophie is part Chow and Belgian Turveran Shepard (I think)-- She loves water (as long as there are no waves) http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w216/babs364/Vacation026.jpg Fresh from her swim http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w216/babs364/Vacation027.jpg Look Mom, more water http://i177.photobucke...

Cara, I am glad you are doing okay. I think some guys (okay and some women) are more confortable doing things to show they care rather than talking about their feelings. I hope everything continues to work out for you.

Babs, :D By the way, your dog is gorgeous! =D= \:D/ Hi Jonathan, Thanks! I think that Sophie is part Belgian Tervuran Shepard and part chow. I'll have to look at the Eurasier breed Sophie is generally very reserved with people, so I don't always pay attention to her instincts the way I should. She ...

LOL---They also have nice glass.....

I just broke up with someone I had been dating for the last six months. I'd been kind of struggling with the decision about whether to end it. He was a nice person, but something just wasn't right. The funny thing is that after six months Sophie still didn't like the guy. I kept think it was just be...

Wonderful! You did a fantastic job capturing everyone. Thank you.

I got a few good pictures--- http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w216/babs364/ChowFest%202008/Thegroup.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w216/babs364/ChowFest%202008/Sophie.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w216/babs364/ChowFest%202008/Simba2.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w216/babs...

Thanks. I appreciate the review.

Has anyone tried the Drs Foster and Smith Sweet Potate treats? I'd love to hear a review. Sophie has decided she likes sweet potato when I have one. I was wondering if these treats would be any good.

If you are going to have a car, you might consider driving down to see Hoover Dam. You can take a tour of it. Very interesting. Also, if you like to go hiking Red Rock Canyon is pretty cool. It is on the outskirts of Las Vegas. I also highly recommend going to a Cirque Du Soliel show. I saw the Beat...

I have to agree with boiled hamburger and rice. When Sophie has an upset stomach it is about the only thing that she will eat. But I am sure Kiwani can suggest some good ideas, too.

I feel so bad. I am so behind in posting pictures. Hopefully this weekend I'll sort through them. I am sure I have a great picture of Simba. He was such a gentleman about posing for me. I have been raving to everyone about how great the dog park was and how much fun Sophie and I had at the beach. Ye...

Hi Auddymay, Ty is not coming with us this time. He is such a barker that I was afraid he'd get us kicked out of the hotel. :lol: I am seriously thinking about coming to the beach tonight. Sophie would love it and so would I. Storms are heading toward Chicago this afternoon, so we are going to be ha...

I am really looking forward to taking Sophie to the beach. She is a total water dog. When I picked her up from Doggie Day Care today, they told me they had to ban Sophie from the pool today. Seems she was diving in and then doing the zoomies. Which in turn was driving a pack of Australian Sheepdogs ...

Chris, My thoughts are with you and your BF.

I will bring brownies and some chips for the picnic on Saturday. How many chowchows are coming? Sophie thought she might bring some treats of her own to share.

Are there still plans for heading out to the beach on Sunday morning?
