Here is another alert on the bill written by Zandra who is an attorney. By the way be sure you contact your own Rep also, and the reps on the committee at their Austin offices. April 2, 2009 A big thank you to Zandra Anderson for a fantastic brief regarding HB 3180 prepared for Responsible Pet Owner...

Hi, Michelle- Yes that was me. Wasn't that silly? I totally expected that being AM talk radio. It was nice of them to call me to -try- get our side though. For those who did not hear, one of the hosts asked me what club I am with and I told him. Then he asked if it was a dogfighting club. I was like...

I wanted to let you know about this bill because it will seriously impact Chow Chows. If ANYONE can attend the hearing in Austin, we need you! Please let me know! Thanks. ------------------------------------------PERMISSION TO CROSS - POST-------------------------------------------------------------...

Thanks, everyone. He taught me a lot. He was such a calming influence on the pack, I am worried about Loretta. She's been hiding in the closet a lot. We have had strong winds from the South and any kind of quasi-stormlike weather makes her hide and shake, but now she does not have her buddy. Losing ...

Our pack is not the same without him.

Regarding Texas, it's a colossal horrible session going on right now. I can't even begin to summarize it all here. I have been entering all the bills and summaries on http://www.lsspbc.com I will update everyone on that after this weekend when I have a chance to get caught up. The good thing about C...

Washington allows BSL. There was a flare up of problems late last year because of some high profile "pit bull" bites. http://www.fabbseattle.com/bslinwa.htm That is from Families Against Breed Bans. I found this list of clubs that specifically deal with the legislative issues on the AKC we...

Oh by the way, Florida people we need you NOW. Florida state law currently does not allow BSL. If it is allowed, your Chow Chow could be banned at the local level. ======================================================================================= TAMPA - A bill now before the Florida legislatur...

There are many cities that automatically declare Chow Chows as vicious or ban them completely. Here is a new one in Pilot Grove, MO. I am very involved with the Texas State Legislature and am receiving news from all over the country - statewide bans have been proposed just in the last few months in ...

Thanks for all the kind words. Seems like hemangiomas on the eye are common in dogs also. I haven't seen a lot of information about them being like Jasper's, in that location. But who knows. He is still a happy guy for now. About my other tumor dog - BB has had the osteosarcoma for almost a year and...

Our Jasper, who is 12-13, has some kind of tumor. I took him to another vet for a second opinion, and she said the same thing, that it's either a hemangioma (benign blood-filled tumor) or hemangiosarcoma (cancer). When the vets put a needle in there, it's just blood. It's in front of his hip, on the...

Well gee I just had to update my signature because we acquired so many more dogs since we moved! I am primarly a Bull Breed person. We have a Chow Chow because a friend passed away, and I just love him to pieces. His personality is totally different than my Pit Bulls but he loves everyone. Hard to b...

Hi, Folks! It's been a long time since I have posted to the Chow Chow board. Jasper is 12 and doing fabulous! I am so thankful. I guess that is pretty ancient for a Chow. We had a cancer scare last week but it was just a hematoma. He has anemia and to his delight the vet prescribed liver. Anyway, I ...

Good for you! Regarding web stuff the above post regarding godaddy is good advice. I have heard good things about them. I host our Pit Bull club's site with Yahoo and use their free SiteBuilder tool. I thought it was quite easy and that if I was no longer the webmaster, I could easily pass it onto s...

Hi, Chow people! We moved recently and everything has been crazy, so I have been off the board. Be assured Jasper loves his new country home. After a bout with speargrass requiring emergency surgery and a Lion Clip, he was fine. He just celebrated his 11th birthday. If you live in Florida, unless yo...

What a darling boy! I hope that you enjoy him as much as we enjoy our adopted older chow boy. He loves his "harem" of female Pit Bulls. He is much more loyal to me than my spoiled girls are. Those girls will just go off with anyone with a cookie, I swear. A lot of times people take dogs to...

Oh that is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Mom gets my bikini wax at the Groomer. Then I come back to work and kiss my sister, Loretta. "OH what a horrible day I had! It's not fair that you Pit Bulls never have to go!"

Here is another update on the dog bills in the Texas Legislature from RPOA. February 26, 2007 80th Session of the Texas Legislature For more information on the bills below, go to: http://www.capitol.state.tx.us Type the bill number in the Search Box on the home page. This will bring up a new page wi...

LOL!! That's why Jasper gets the "Brazilian Wax" at the groomer! I hate that!

Cross-posted from the RPOA mailing list. Here is the deal, if this bill is passed, your county might be able to declare Chow Chows (or whatever they want) as dangerous and you will have to jump through special hoops to keep your Chows. Sorry the formatting is so bad. It came in an e-mail ===========...

Yesterday Martha Stewart had her boy Paw Paw (she said he is now 12) and the winning Best of Breed Chow Chow on the show!! He was huge and so deep red. Very pretty. The winning Frenchie, and Martha's Frenchies, and the BIS winner were on the show too. It was cute! You should be able to watch the sho...

Weight-Pulling is the big sport for American Pit Bull Terriers. It's fascinating and fun to watch! In the UKC, you can get an ILP to pull or pull as a registered Chow Chow, I think. International Weight Pull Association (IWPA) is for all breeds and has always been more nordic breed oriented. If you ...

Bless you for keeping the girls together. Many hugs to you all!

I agree, I think Martha is very involved with her Chow Chows (now, just Paw Paw), as much as anyone with her crazy work schedule could be. She often mentions the dogs being with her on outings and vacations and has pictures of them on the show. I think she talks about her pets more than she talks ab...
