Special Dark's Photo Journal

chowfrnd88 · Post by **chowfrnd88** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 6:52 pm

Hi All, I'm going to keep a photojournal, I got the idea to post my pics in one thread from Firesong and Dreamdancer and Jake, I like how all their pics are in one thread.

These are from this morning. We got about an inch of snow overnight. I had fun as usual, picked up some snow from the bushes and grass as you can see! Then I tried to lick some snow in the parking lot and daddy said not to.

I love that first pic. Just a snow beard and a sweet face. Great idea about putting your pics in one post. I might try that as well. Great idea.

Katalin,

Special is just so beautiful.
I remember when you 1st went to get him...he was handsome....and how you named him Special Dark because of my favorite and healthiest chocolate....and how you learned about Chows and their quirks.
You have become such a great chow mom and Special has blossomed into this gorgeous, sweet creature!

You do know that Cheyenne whispered to JR the other day...that she really has the "hots" for Mr. Special!!!

Special reminds me of my favorite teddy bear when I was a kid

The bear was all black.

Thank you so very, very much everyone! Mommy always says "Special, you're so very Special" too.

Mommy made me try to reduce the size of the first pic so I tried, hopefully it's not as huge as it was before.

Auntie Sharon, Special Dark is mommy's fave chocolate too.

But lately, they have a lot of commercials for it on TV is I always look at the TV to see what they call my name. Mommy just says I'm famous!

Thanks again everyone for your sweet comments.

What a beautiful little Chow.

Special is very sweet looking. He's a little guy isn't he? About 50lbs or so? I think Dreamdancer is going to be about that size maybe a bit more, he's just at Firesong's height now at 7 months.

Last night I saw the Special Dark chocolate commercial on TV and I thought about you..hehe.
Lots of huggies

Thanks everyone.

Victory, yep, he is 50.8 pounds currently. He was 48 when we got him and he was 52 over the summer. The vet would've liked him to stay at 48!!

Wow, he's such a cute chow! I love his eyes.

Thanks everyone!!

Here are my b-day pics. I decided to post a few so I'm only including the thumbs here, but if you double click they'll get bigger. Some of them aren't so good 'cause it was dark.

Whatcha got there mom?????

WOW! My birthday "chow pasta" (my regular solid gold portion redcued a bit mixed with a bit of solid gold canned and topped with liver patte meatballs and string cheese candles).

Oh mommy, mommy, HURRY UP!! I need that now!!!

I ate a string cheese candle in one bite and then gobbled up the rest.
What?! Is that it?!?!

There's just gotta be some more...Maybe I'm not looking in the right place...

Here I am with my new giraffe, which I love, I also got a stuffed ball but we ddin't any good pics of me playing with that.

After a long night of playing, here I am the day after my b-day, back in my office!

Enjoy!

I have been away and couldn't wish our Special a happy birthday, so VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPECIAL, you sweet, sweet boy. Lily escaped and ran in your honor today, deep snow was her un-doing.

Auddymay, thank so much. We hope all is with you, we miss your posts. Run Lily run free!!!...Oh oh...mommy is barking at me

She says it's not nice to egg on fellow escapees...hmm...

JR and Cheyenne, I'm so glad you liked the cake!

I can get mommy to make more it and mail them all over the chowkingdom. Do you think she would?

Hi All, I wanted to post some comparison pictures of Special Dark.

Some of you might remember these two from last summer:

And here are the new ones from yesterday or the day before in the same spot on our balcony for comparison. His mane looks so much bigger to me now. (We just got back from a long walk so excuse the unbrushed look!

):

I've been looking for pictures of him from when we first got him, which I will post soon for before and after compasrions (as soon as I can find the cd with all the pics

).
