Ohhhh...as we say here in the south...I would have had to 'show my arse' on that one. What a crock. I wonder if there is any kind of vet board...like the bar association...that you could raise a complaint with. Did your vet refer you to this one? If so I would certainly let my vet know what happened...

Well I'm not a huge Ellen fan and yeah she should have read the contract and called the agency...butttttttt...there are a gazillion animals that need homes and their policy of not adopting to families with children under the age of 14 seems ridiculous to me. Little kids would make more sense to me. ...

I'm sure you guys have answered this a million times over the years so I am sorry to be a bother but I did a search and other then shaking a can of coins I didn't find any other info. I am going to try the noisy can shaking but wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas. I have a cat Misty who is 1...

People are funny about chows. I think I am just used to it but Shug is only 17 wks old...he is huge...but just a baby and you can see a look go across peoples faces who ask what kind of dog he is. You can read their minds...OH NO MEAN VICIOUS DOG! People who know what kind of dog it is actually have...

I too would have taken him in on Monday but hindsight is 20/20 and I'm sure they blame themselves. I actually had a chow survive parvo many many years ago. We were in Alaska for a wedding and had a friend staying with the dogs in Texas. Well I call to check on them and the friend says hey is it norm...

My Shug says the colder the better. He lays on the AC vent everytime it's on. If AC is off he lays on the fireplace. It is brick and I guess the 2nd coolest place in the house. I live in the south and it rarely gets really cold here so the AC runs alot. Shug is also 17 weeks old and can make it thro...

I had two male chows once...raised together (3 mos apart in age) and they fought. I got them fixed and it didn't help. It started out mild ( no injuries ) and maybe twice a year and progressed to the point that they had to be separated at all times byt the time they were 7 yrs old. One was in house ...

Ahhh the indignity of it all! Not only did mom dress me up in funny clothes but then she had to take pictures AND send them to all my friends! The horror of it all! So much for my Chowish dignified and regal air but I'm trying to maintain it! You see my expression don't you! Moms...harummphhh! (hehe...

Awwww Patti it warms my heart to read your posts about Mr. Kirby. It is wonderful to see you so happy with your new guy. I lost my Kody right before you lost Mrs. Tu and it is so heart wrenching and you never stop loving and missing the ones you lost but like you I chose to get a new lil guy and it ...

I feed dry food mainly but I do a couple of tablespoons of canned food almost everyday as well. He loves it...it's like a special treat. If I give him people food...meat of some sort...then I skip the canned. Just adding in a little variety and flavor to the same ole same ole.

"Why do people adopt Chows/Dogs then want to keep them out side, are they supposed to be a lawn ornament." Very good question. I had a neighbor before we bought this house who owned a yellow lab mix and it lived in the back yard 24/7 365 days a year regardless of the weather. It drove me i...

I agree with everyone else. Why in the world would you want your baby and it is a baby...to sleep outside all alone? Bless it's heart.

I'm no expert here but I have had chows my entire adult life and I have read alot about the breed long before I ever found this forum and I agree with the folks here. Chows will not put up with bull****. She has already bit him and she is just a baby. When she grows up she will hurt him seriously. C...

lol Shug hasn't started it yet but I always said my Kody was a sled dog at heart. He drug me around for 14 years. I always told him I was going to send him back up to Alaska and let him run in the Iditarod! Anticipating this problem in Shug I asked my puppy class trainer about it and she said when t...

Good grief...those things are poisonous! My rule is this...if it's in my house it dies. Outside is their territory so I try to leave 'em be but black widows outside would have to go too if I saw one. Actually to be honest...bug/varmint killing is hubby's department. It says so in the marriage manual...

I was wondering about this as well. My Shug is a cinnamon but he does have pink in his mouth. Not on his tongue but in his mouth around his lower teeth for example. Is this normal in the dilute colors? I think I read somewhere that it is but I thought only in creams?? Frankly I don't care if his mou...

Butters is absolutely gorgeous as is the banner. His name is also one of my favs on here.

HOw destructive is he? I left Shug in the bathroom while I was at work. Luckily he didn't see the cabinets or anything else in there as chew toys. He never pottied in there either but if yours can't hold it you can buy those potty pads at Petsmart. I think he slept most of the time I was gone or pla...

lol he is such a cutie but he does have a 'lil devil' look to him. My Shug is 16 wks old now and he has grown out of alot of that biting and chewing stuff already. He chews on his toys all of the time and will come running out with any clothing item or shoe I might leave within his reach but it's th...

Awwwwwwwww he's adorable. I am so happy for you and for Millie. Alfie is a lucky lil boy! Squish him for me and give Millie a feel better smooch.

I don't have any great advice to offer you but I am sure other folks on here will know what to tell you. I have been in your position though. I raised 2 males from puppyhood together and they fought periodically. They didn't actually wound one another until they were probably 6 or 7 years old though...

My pup sleeps directly on top of the air conditioning vent. I've never had a chow that would use a dog bed or even take a snooze on the couch. Cool tile or AC vents are the most popular choices for mine.

Ok I decided to get a female chow as a companion for my Shug instead of a bulldog. I bought her from a breeder in Oregon and she flew in last night. She is 3 months old, beautiful and bigger then Shug even though they are the same age. She was supposedly raised in the house with the breeders and has...

Awwww he is adorable. He reminds of my Shug just a few weeks ago. They grow amazingly fast so savor every second! I keep telling my Shug to stop growing but he won't listen and is almost 20 pounds now and 12 wks old today!

Well bless your heart. I bawl everytime I read one of these. I am new and don't know any of you but I read the site everyday and know that all of you love your babies just as I loved my Kody and my new lil guy and it breaks my heart when any of you lose one. It is something that all of us can share....
