Now that's funny! Ok, quick knicker story... One sunday morning, Mia all of the sudden decided she had to go out. So, I rushed into my closet to put on a sundress, as I had been in my nighty anticipating a sunday lounging session. Of course, I jumped into my sundress and ran Mia out for a walk in th...

They really are, aren't they. I am sure that's why they get away with so much.

Does your lab have the Poo Poo ceremony followed by the PooPoo shuffle?

Does any one know when I can start letting Mia have run of the house? She is 16 weeks now and teething - so I know that I have a while. But, that baby gate is tearing up my legs. I need something to look forward to. About when can I give her run of the house? (And, don't any of you say never or I'll...

As Mia is getting older, this ceremony is going on longer. I have bought houses in the time it takes Mia to pick her spot to poop.

I forgot, now why did we pick chows?

Oh yeah, cute.

Oooo Piper is just adowable. I just can't keep looking at the sites in this thread that you all are posting. Here I am, a newbie, just treading water...no...I can't look. I can't even think about it. Oooo but, Piper is just looking for someone to get past that crusty, chow exterior. No, I am not loo...

Chris, I wuv the ducky!

Yes they are survivalilsts! And, if we are ever lost in the tundra of Alaska, I am sure that I will appreciate that. But, until then, what part of "NO, stay out of the cat box" don't they understand! It's like the Sandanista and rebels at my house. Move the cat box, cat gets mad. Stop Mia ...

pfordeb is right.

When it's right, you will know. If you have the slightest doubt, wait.

LOL.

Lord, is this what I get to look forward to?

Thanks guys! Bama, I thought the results were ok, just found out otherwise. Wouldn't you know, I thought I was such a smarty pants. This morning, when I was playing with her on the floor, I noticed that she chewed the wood floor molding around the master bathroom. I have sprayed with bitter apple, g...

Patti,

We are all here for you, even us newbies. And, we are so proud of the strength and grace with which you have dealt with all this.

Whoever you will be blessed with, will also be blessed with you.

Oh, it must be so wonderful to watch Dakota having fun and running around and feeling at home.

What a resilient little girl!

Oh Julia - we are keeping our fingers crossed. You are amazing to be able to do this. As everyone says, it must be love and patience. (But, secretly, I think it's a whole lotta talent too!) (Mia wants to know why nobody wants the cute little black fluffy Whitney?) Mia looks just like Whitney - and s...

LOL! Oh, no...don't get too optimistic. That cat box and the cat food aren't going anywhere. Nice thought, but wishful thinking. He he! I cannot believe that I have become a slave to a bunch of four-legged, batman-eared, big-eyed, tiny-minded, stubborn, thick-headed, canine and feline bratz. Was I b...

LOL...your right - it's just too funny. I hold my breath, cause every morning it seems, just after Mia has spent 4 hours (...exagerating...) looking for the spot, 2 hours (...exagerating...) circling the spot and an hour (...not sure if I am really exagerating) getting the exact balancing-on-the-hea...

I do actually have a question Vicster605 and everyone, when you mentioned chewing... I am not sure if I am doing the right thing, but I leave Mia locked in my master bathroom with a baby gate from 6:30 am to about 4pm. I walk her at 5, then feed her, and then take her for an hour walk. Twice during ...

I couldn't be a prouder mom if I birthed her myself. Actually...I think she has my eyes. OK, chowfrnd88, you are scaring me... Mia is my whole life too. It just sounds kinda sad when you say it aloud. Oh, what am I saying, "she's my world and I am proud of it". I don't need no fleshy kids ...

Hi, I, like you, am a newbie. It has been two whole months for me. And, I have fallen hard for a chow chow. I have two cats also, who were less that thrilled, to say the least, to meet Mia, my chow baby. This may not be the best idea, but it worked for me. I put Mia on a leash and then got a cat and...

OK...maybe I need to move to Tahoe. But, you know what - stop - what am I saying - Mia is still a chow and she is still Mia. Nope, she may never be able to be leash-less. She is an inquisitive, flightly little miss. Maybe, one day, if we ever find a place that is totally fenced in. Hmmm...not sure.

Well, I taught Mia to wave, which is cute when she is in the car or saying hi to people. Kids just love it. Next, we are going to learn, "Stick 'em Up" (she puts both paws up) and "Bang", she lays down and rolls over. We are giving that a try. When she does a trick like that in f...

LOL Jeff&Peks! That was funny. Wow, I am not sure what to do in this situation either. Mia is little now, but when she gets bigger, I guess I am going to have to have a plan like Vicster605. I leave Mia's collar on all the time. Maybe that's not a great idea...but while she's teething, I need an...

Hi There! I can tell you that you came to the right place. Now, actually, I am a newbie and almost everyone else here has more experience than me, but I'll give it a try. My puppy Mia was 8 weeks when I got her and very much the same way. First, you will need to slowly socialize him to you. By that ...

New Teefies...Oh, I am so excited. Please excuse my blubbering chow-parent-hood, but my little Mia is loosing two baby teeth. Oh, it's just so cute I could die. I swear, if I did this blubber and consistant chow-chat out in the world, I would be put in a rubber room. It just amazes me that there is ...

Oh Bubba, your mommy has lots of chowpent friends now.
