Re: Best foods to feed a chow

I free feed Henry, he gets a mix of two cups of Solid Gold Wolfking and one cup of Orijen adult, it seems to suit him really well, the orijen seems to compliment the Solid Gold.

Re: Breaking my heart :(

We didn't crate train Henry either, we used to shut him in the laundry room if we were leaving him home alone, by the time he was 4 months old, he was too heavy to carry downstairs, so I left him to his own devices, the worst he ever did was take the end of the loo roll and run with it - ALL around ...

Re: Chows and coughing

I tried the treat thing last night, it was fine while I was holding a treat, but then he ran away as soon as he got the treat. He resorted to hiding in DD's bedroom closet last night - the furthest he could get away from me. Anyone else that coughs he doesn't bat an eyelid. It's also the same if I h...

Chows and coughing

Hi guys, I posted a while ago -couple of years at least about Henrys reaction to me coughing. He has no reaction to anyone else coughing but with me it drives him insane, he wants as far away as possible and will stomp, pace and get into bed with our daughter. I have a cold and cough right now, Henr...

If you get boots for your furbaby, get ones with velcro so you can cinch tight. Then enjoy your baby trying to walk without putting feet down :lol:

Re: Be careful in the snow!

We have had snow on the ground since the beginning of October and will have it until at least April, we have no choice but to get on with it and hope we all come through it unscathed. The worst times are when it warms up a bit and it starts to melt as then it freezes into ice which makes walking for...

I love Henry's baby barks when he's dreaming.

I even love the way he is bratty on a walk when he isn't ready to...

Re: Is Your Dog a Thief?

Henry's latest one is to come downstairs when I'm doing laundry and taking ONE wet thing out of the tumble dryer to snuffle and roll in, it's so funny to see his head shoved in the tumble dryer chosing what he wants lol.

My thoughts exactly Victory. There used to be 3 dogs living in the trailer up the side road - one old boy, one younger lady and one puppy (about 2) - the puppy got quilled in the nose this summer and has now disappeared :(

I've also seen the same picture on Facebook. I always wonder if these things are sometimes photoshopped. But whatever true or not it's a truly sickening picture and I hope the barsteward is caught.

SO many of you may remember, we moved out to the country in the summer. Our property is not fenced (2 acres) and along one side is a creek/ravine, the banks are too steep for humans and the creek is a couple of hundred feet down. We have been using a tie out for Henry. Because it's now cold and ther...

Re: Waggly Tails

I quite often call Henry Helicopter dog, his tail waggles so much I think he'll take off one of these days (if he didn't eat so many treats lol). Sometimes it's just a lazy flop to each side but he can go super full speed where you can just imagine him taking off lol
