Thank you so much Carolyn for making this tribute. It is simply beautiful. :*) OMG I remember her. I copied her pic and used it as a wallpaper. But is it true? Has she passed? I had no idea, im absolutely shocked, wasnt she still a puppy? Someone please fill me in on how this happened im feel so bad...

i'm not really sure of what to think of my breeder. before I got shumie, I read so many great reviews about the breeder. we actually discovered shumie from puppyfind.com. is this not a good source for looking for chows? we read all the reviews, and everyone was satisfied with their chow and several ...

Thank you for including Shumie. The videos are so beautiful.

Thank you everyone for sharing their stories. I have learned a lot through all of this and I only wish I had known as much as a lot of the members here have known. We contacted the breeder that shumie came from and this is the e-mail we got: I am very very surprised about this story. I have never he...

thank you everyone for your kind words. all the little poems and your posts have helped me a lot. i hope shumie is zooming around up there : )

i've never really considered the fact that shumie was only used to being outside and it must have been so stressful for her to be taken away from her mommy and siblings and then put on an 18 hour flight to boston and end up living in a condo. she was used to running free and not confined to the indo...

I haven't really slept since shumie has left us and so i've been reading articles after articles on bloating. although bloat is still somewhat of a mystery, there seems to be a lot of helpful information out there, albeit certain sources contradict other findings. I wish I could say that there was n...

thank you everyone. it feels so unfair to lose shumie. we've only had her for one month. we wanted to see her grow up and the snow didn't even come yet. she would have loved playing in the snow. we're so heartbroken right now. i wish i had read about bloat well before I got shumie. It happened so qu...

Our little princess passed away at 8pm today. The doctors did everything they could to bring her back to life, but no avail. She was only 3 1/2 months old, and we only had her for exactly 1 month, on this date. The doctors say that she died from bloat. Her stomach was inflated and was tight like a d...

recently, shumie has had little drops of blood or some red substance in her pee. i read that it might be a urinary tract infection, does anyone have any experience with this? also, she threw up her food twice in the last 2 days. the only different thing we have been feeding her is lamb treats which ...

thanks for everyone's advice. it's been a lot of arguing between my boyfriend and I ever since shumie has arrived. i can't really seem to understand what's going on inside his head where he feels the need to be so rough with her. but i think he's becoming more gentile with her each day. my boyfriend...

If she pees on the floor, punch her to teach her a lesson. She'll learn real quick real nice Err.....About that part,I don't think its necessary to punch her...Well,Hugo learned to pee on the pee tray real quick with this Puppy Trainer spray,just spray it where you want him to pee i've been looking...

thanks. shumie is growing up so fast. she is now three months old :]

thanks again for all the wonderful tips everyone. shumie is getting at holding her pee and is always really excited about going out to pee. she gets so distracted by other doggies though and it takes her forever to go poop poop. she loves to be silly and frolic in the grass right after she pees. her...

thanks for all the responses. from the beginning i've told my boyfriend to not be so rough with her. he treats shumie like a tackle dummie. he flips her around and shoves her over for fun. it horrifies me because shumie looks so scared when it happens and then he picks her up so abruptly each time a...

thanks for all the advice guys. yes, she is being socialized to both humans and animals. she's pretty friendly to other dogs and she lets other humans touch her. the apartment buildings that we live in are filled with all dog lovers/owners so she's around it every day. every time she goes out to pee...

Well it's been a couple of weeks since we've gotten Shumie and she's been so sweet when I'm around. My boyfriend and I got her together but I guess I take her out more and spend more time with her so she's grown really attached to me and not so much my boyfriend. She would love to play with my boyfr...

So, I brought Shumie to the groomers for the first time. I didn't really know what to expect so the groomer told me she'd wash her up and trim the fur on the bottom of her paws and around her poopy area. i thought 'sounds great'. so i pick shumie up and the lady ended up cutting a lot of the fur fro...

i recently brought shumie to the vet for the first time just to check that her shots were up to date and the vet convinced me to give her an intranasal bordatella for the kennel cough that's common among dogs. i've been reading more and more about it online and sites are saying that most dogs don't ...

thanks everyone for all the tips. shumie is still having peeing problems. she even peed in her crate. :( is it because i'm bringing her out so much that she hasn't learned bladder control? should i not be bringing her out as often? i was reading a lot of things on potty training and i'm getting conf...

so it's ok for the puppy to eat human food? i asked my breeder about human food and she said the puppy should only eat human food rarely and it should be fully cooked with no seasoning? she also said the puppy can eat cheese. is this correct? i want to give my puppy some human food but i don't know ...

the amount of knowledge here is really awesome. thanks everyone for answering my questions so promptly. i just want my shumie to grow up and be the best chow she can be. i only put on her harness when i bring her outside, should i leave her harness on all the time? i don't want my baby to be uncomfo...

oh noes. now i feel really bad. she gets scared of a lot of people and i always try to comfort her and pick her up. i guess from now on i'm going to take the advice i got hear and not pick her up. thanks everyone. i've noticed that whenever she drinks water after she's done she slaps her paws into t...

thanks for the response. it's really a trek bringing her all the way outside to pee and poop, the lobby is so long and the grass area is so far away. i have to carry her all the way because she just pees everywhere if i just let her walk with me. good luck with your chow baby XD

thanks everyone :D she's from the rossy kennel in hungary. she came here on an 18 hour flight, poor baby. my boyfriend and I got the puppy together. he was the one that chose her name, after michael shumacher, the f1 racer. everyone's chow chow is so cute on this forum, i just wanted to share my new...
