I could happily torch the darn things myself,our old ones had batteries the new ones are hard-wired, now I just have to live with the beautiful luminous green light it emits and when you suffer with migraines its a pain in the head!!!! Well done Whitby for being such a good guard dog. Heaven forbid ...

So here is the problem, I want to have Rio in our room on a night but have hit a snag, well more of a brick wall really. He will not walk upstairs!!!!! How the heck do you teach a Chow to walk up and down the stairs :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: We have a stair lift but I ain't lifting the fatty fat fat i...

Bella is an honourary Chow, canine is canine lol. She is lovely though, my son wants a daschund (sausage dog as he calls them) not sure Rio would like a dog that looks like food though.

LOL wokman and Rorys dad, I know he doesn't need to pee at the ungodly hour he barks at, I came down this morning and when he realised it was me he shut up and lay back down. The cheeky little so-and-so. Yeah he does have his tea late, he has always been fed around that time on an evening.

Hi Bella, you look full of mischief. You appear to have gone from one end of the obediance spectrum to the other, Chows are yeah I will do it, in my own time. Retrievers are more like I did it now what shall I do?

Strut away Judy is what I say, yeah to you Matilda for not being a jumpy barky doggy.

Gorgeous.

OMG that last one is just too funny and cute for words. Long time no see Lexi, you are still as adorable as ever. Rio says ooooof (or hi)

LOL Rorys dad, Rio has a pen in the living room downstairs, he does know when it is bedtime, once he has been out and had his ice cubes (we gave him them when it was hot and now he loves crunching) he lays down in his pen. I came down last night at 3am (he was barking) told him to quit it, lie down ...

Thanks for the advice and re-assurances they are greatly appreciated. Guess I will be doing a few nights of going downstairs and putting my foot down with a firm hand. Just gotta get past the cute facade and throw down the law.

I know I LOL when he pee'd eventhough I was still occupying the bed at the time.

Thanks for the replies, no Victory he is getting done this month. I will endeavour to tell him to quit it, and hope once he has been for his op he goes back to his old routine.

OK I need a little advice or re-assurance. Rio has started waking through the night to, I will say to pee, but it's more like scent marking. Just to outline, he has his tea at 8pm then he goes out at 9pm, I take him out again at 10pm and then it is bedtime,he has started waking and barking at 3am to...

That looks very cosy,Rio has only been on our bed a few times, he pee'd on it the last time

Look at you Dillon being a puppy, now chew the stuffing outta that toy.

Hi Wokman, I myself can be hot-headed but can't we all at some point!!! I share Sirchows sentiment and hope you hang around this time. I personally believe that all the members on here are more like Chows than Chows themselves, we can be stubborn,opinionated,down right grumpy and then flipside we ar...

Sending hugs and lots of purple kisses your way, hope the mass is blocked ducts or fluid. Fingers crossed for you sweetie.

Like I said Brysonjk dogs do sweat, but only through their paw pads, it is the only part of a dogs body equipped with the ability to sweat.Body temperature is controlled primarily by panting. The chances are what you are seeing is drool and possibly moisture collecting from the air and surroundings ...

Dixie you are such a good girl. I too am on the side of 'instinct' she obviously didn't like the smell of this guy and decided to do something about it, well done young lady.

I agree Hugo LOL. Hope all shots are up to date.

My Ragdolls would love that spot.

I think the only advice I can give would be to visit the vets. Good Luck hope it is just aches and pains and nothing serious.

Love the 'it was like that when I got here' look.

Dogs sweat through their paw pads and reduce body temeperature through panting. Chows do have a very distinct aroma and this is why a lot of other breed of dog have a tendancy to be 'cautious' around a Chow. Rio gets bathed once a month or so and we do not have such defining seasons anymore, thankyo...
