Oh right Constantine, got it. Thanks for the info on something I never heard of. #-o Ming is not likely to go through that as I groom him, he doesn't go to any kennels nor has one of his own and the only boarding he is going to get is right next to me! :) :) Its always interesting to learn new thing...

Hi Guys, have been seeing on TV and the Net scenes of total devastation in the Midwest from a huge tornado. Houses flattened and chaos everywhere! I know that this area of the planet is subject to tornadoes anyway but this one must be REALLY bad to be all over our news :!: This is just to say that I...

:D Ha ha thanks Constantina (a very famous Greek name...). Anyone is welcome to visit with their Chows, only thing is my tiny studio flat is so small that Ming and I have to juggle around the coffee table to get to anywhere... :roll: :roll: :roll: However I have a very large closed in yard and chowl...

Welcome home Duke!! :D :D He reminds me of my Ming. Absolutely marvellous and proud even now when so young. Maybe a future Mascot for the Black Watch Regiment I dare say! He will find many friends here and so will you :!: If you live in the Highlands it will be marvellous walks for him. I live in Gr...

Hi Alexandra! Long time no post ha ha! How is Hugo getting on now with the stairs?

Hi charliearalee, just checking in. Did you finally manage to find a home for the Chow you found or did you manage to "fix" the insurance question and keep it? Hope the news is good news!

Wokman, what is "Bordertella". Never heard of it. Thanks!

Thanks guys for the kind comments. Even though I occasionally moan and groan about Greece's infrastructure, culture shocks, politics, etc. it really is a beautiful place to walk through especially with a Chow. :) :) I would give anything to see Deer or even snow again! Just an itsy bitsy few flakes ...

O.K. Me&Tess, many thanks for the info, but I haven't got a clothes dryer LOL! :lol: :lol: Don't think anyone else has in Greece either.[?] I always had one in the U.K. a huge Bendix as it was pouring rain over there for 10 months of the year. :roll: :roll: Over here thank heavens, things dry ve...

I second that. Bottom line is who cares how many pounds, ounces, kilos or tonnes our Chows weigh as long as we love them, they are healthy and we are committed to take care of them for their whole lives.

Well chow4life, I can't give any real technical advice as I'm not a vet. But here goes with my input, maybe others will help you out as well? I dare say your vet is a very competent one, loves animals and does what's best for them all in his opinion and level of expertise. Unfortunately for me perso...

Most of the sidewalks in my tiny town are covered with planters full of flowers outside shops, supermarkets and apartments. I really can't imagine what it would be like to live in a "cement city" and not see these wonders of nature every day...

It’s November, the wind is cold and bitter bbbbbrrrrrr....but for all that there are hundreds of plants, flowers, roses all still blooming in my tiny town. If this was the U.K. they would have been long dead and hibernating so I thought I would let you guys see what Ming and I see on our daily walks...

Wokman said: "....You signed up for this so get cracking...."

A very wise comment Wokman, a real "slam dunk".

Like I said, if I was in the U.K. posting to Redbone then the "confusion" would never have happened. I grew up in the U.K. with pounds shillings and pence for money ( not drachmas or euros ) with feet inches and yards for measurements ( not centimetres or metres ) with pints and gallons fo...

rmb said "... My Lucy who went to doggy heaven a few years ago was always extremely anxious during storms until I heard that if you rub a dog down with a dryer sheet, it takes out the static and calms them. It worked for her! ..." Many thanks for the input rmb, much appreciated. :) I have ...

Ha ha, bless you Me&Tess you really are a dear. Don't say sorry... (Loving a chow means never having to say your'e sorry....). I thought the Vaseline trick was a GREAT idea as had never even thought of it before and thanks to you, he is "cured". =D= =D= We too have camomile growing her...

Hey hey Redbone, there is no need for this type of reaction! :roll: :roll: Slow down.... As above, I already apologised for my mistake brought about by jetlag and working 18 hours a day! Yes, we own chows, but we are also human !You are of course entitled to your opinion as are we all, but the word ...

Yesterday, I was having coffee with an Italian couple. We talked about our countries, kids, pets, food, the weather, poor drowning immigrants off both our coasts, you name it, the usual polite repartee. Learning that I have a Chow chow dog he asked me if it was Chinese? I said "No, he's Greek/C...

We all know about how stubborn Chows can be, some more than others. I happen to own one of the “more stubborn than others” ....sigh. There have been infuriating times lately where Ming will stand dead still in the street or park and refuse to budge forward or back! Thank god this usually only happen...

Oh christ... yes, your'e right...sorrrrryyy...jetlag... :oops: :oops: :oops: got back from Thessaloniki midday had a quick snooze but still muggy as was interpreting for 48 hours not stop, apologies to Redbone and again, welcome gorgeous Big Guy and glad to see he is mixing with / accepting of Redbo...

A further note on the above. In the garden next door to me there is a strange mound of earth under an orange tree. I realised what this was when I saw stray cats coming in one after the other, doing its/their "biziness" on the same mound, covering it over, checking it and neatly leaving it...

I hear you Chow4life. I also picked up on this ... " he is 34 pounds..." JESUS !! 34 pounds in kilos is 74.8 KILOS! !! (>> 1lb = 2.2 kilos). I've been round the block and back Redbone but this is the first time I have EVER heard of a 15 week old puppy weighing 74.8 kilos!. My Ming is 7 yea...

Whooooa , Cam Atis... some confusion I think... My Chow's name is Ming and he is 7 years old , not a puppy. I have written all I can about bathing him since he was a tiny puppy but just had a little problem with a build up of sorts probably from unrinsed shampoo which has a lot of "salts"...

Well, many thanks for all the great info Cam Atis and sorry about the spelling (Filipino). :oops: :oops: I only gave Ming one dose of the gel which I don't like doing and that helped calm him down through the great big storm we had last week. The last 3 storms I didn't give him anything at all and t...
