Finally, chows everywhere!

Last week I saw 4 chows at work!! 4!! I was soooo happy and I'm sure I scared some of the owners with my happiness.

There was one that I didn't have the chance to meet but just saw walking by. There was one who was about two, and he had a new pit bull puppy brother. I think everyone thought it was odd that there I was gushing over the chow, not the puppy.

These owners weren't too excited to be talking to me.

Then I saw a couple with two chow chows. They were a bit weirded out by my eagerness but then they became quite chatty. One of their chows was 13 and one was 9. The 13 year old wagged his tail like crazy at everything. He was so cute, he'd come over every chance for petting. The 9 year old female was very prim and proper and played hard to get and turned her sweet chow back on me and sat watching the world pass while I talked to her mom. She told me they were both rescues and then at one point, I looked over at the husband and he lifted the 13 year old so the chow could see over a railing. What's amazing is that the 13 year old kept that happy, relaxed face the whole time he was in the air. He was actually having fun! Special would never go for that.

It was the cutest thing.
Then, earlier this week, a couple with a young child came in and asked em about training. They told me they were getting a puppy later that very day, I asked what kind and they said chow chow! I got so happy, I told them I have one too. We ended up talking for about 40 minutes. It was great. The next day they came back and showed off their cute ball of fluff. He's a very curious, sweet fun-loving 8 week old. He is super cute. He was all wags and wiggles too, came over petting a lot. He's a little cinnamon. The family was so happy and they were so proud to show him off, it was so cute. While we were talking, the little guy found a leaf and picked it up and proudly sat down with it in his mouth. It looked this was the best treasure he could have ever found. (I love that proud look chows get.

)
I was so excited to see that many chow chows, and of course to talk about Special even more than normal. I showed everyone a picture of him.

I do it too...and I notice that if I have my two with me, other people with chows will do the same thing...

I never see Chow Chows around here

Isn't it funny how chow chow owners seem the proudest of all dog owners. Hmmm...I wonder...is that because chows are worth being so proud of...

Oh, think so!

Sometimes, I feel like I am the only chow owner in Georgia.

Oh, I know there must be a bunch, but I just don't see them out.

Yes, we chow owners are a "mushy, gushy lot of people".

When people ask me what type of dog I have and I say Chow Chow and a puzzled look comes over their faces when they say 'What do they look like?' I just rummage in my purse and dig out the photos.

Then I get the weird look - she has photos of her dog in her purse

Crazy lady! lol.

I would love to see other Chow Chows whilst out walking!

OH yes, me to. I think I am a gusher like chowfrnd88. I could go on for hours chatting about chows.

That's why I am here, anywhere else, they would lock me up. LOL!

Oh I'm from Australia and Chows are quite rare here so I never get to see other Chows! But I think I'll join the state Chow club so Lychee can play with other Chows.

It sounds like you had a lot of fun!

I wish I ran into more chows and chow owners. The only time I ever see them is at Petsmart. I just love to be walking around with Tippsy and have chow owners walk up to me and start talkin' about their chows and we'll stand there for it seems like hours talkin' about them. HEHE! It's great isn't it?

And if I don't have Tippsy with me I'll pull out picks of her if I start convos with other chow owners...

I saw a lady with 2 beautiful red chows (brother & sister) in the park yesterday. Even the chows were happy to see more like them

I think all of us chow owners do it. It is natural thing. We love our chows, we love the breed, we get way to happy when we see another of our own. Besides they are just way too darn sweeet and wonderful not to gush.

LOL, you're right Red

It's exactly the same for me

But when we were at puppy school last week, a lady came into the vets where its held, to get something for her dogs and said "oh My God, it's a chow". Turns out she has 2 chows and lives 10 minutes drive from us. SHe gave us her name and address and we are going to go visit her and her chows!! I was really thrilled to come across another chow owner.

I thought of this thread today when a lady took a crazy detour of the road because she wanted to talk to me (I had M&A with me of course) I was a little freaked but we had a great chat
