Even though he is renovating, I don't understand why someone would get rid of a sure income to take the chance that he/she can rent the new place. After all, he could just request an additional deposit due to the renovations. In any case, sending you purple prayers that you find a nice place for you...

Yea! Thanks so much for the update!

I used Purina One for over 10 years without any problems. But as time went on I could afford what I thought was a better quality food. The research I did for my 'kids' said that the biggest cause of allergies in chow chows was corn gluten & wheat gluten (which are basically fillers). I switched ...

Coco.jpg My name is Coco (A4086056 to the folks at the shelter). I am a 4 yr old female cream Chow Chow. My owner left me here at the Baldwin Shelter on December 9th. Some really nice people have networked and found me a foster home but I need a lift from LA to Sacramento. Baldwin Park is a high ki...

Amazingly, Bella acted like her normal self the next day but our vet just made a small incision & used inside buried/dissolving stiches. However, like human doctors our vet doesnt believe in giving anibiotics unless the patient show signs of infection so it took a day or two for the infection to...

Yep, 'hang in there' is great advice. I just went thru the same thing myself and was the same way. Then Bella came home & got an infection/fever and I REALLY felt like crap for taking her. But she got over it and 2 weeks later is back to her ususual bossy self

Another update: Thursday night Bella continued to pant even though she was up eating & going outside. Being a worrier, I called the vet after hours & we took her in Friday morning. He said she had a slight temperature and decided to give her antboitics and an anti-inflamatory pill. But consi...

Thanks everyone, she seems to be doing better today. She has went outside several times today & she is eating. We are keeping her & Chumley seperate most of the time mainly because he doesn't understand & just wants to play/roughhouse like usual :) But atleast she is up and moving around...

Ok, I may just be a worry wort but it would be reasuring to know how some of your furkids acted after being spayed. Belle came home monday & seemed more like herself than she had seemed in weeks (we found out that she has an allergy and was broken out but we couldnt see it until her belly was sh...

I think the spirits of our departed guide us even though we think we are not ready for another family member. And sometimes when we think we are ready things dont work out. Each time I have lost one of my beloved chow babies I have said no more & each time something pushed me in the other direct...

Victory is correct, no amount of testing is a guarantee but it doesnt hurt. And I wouldn't worry too much about flying the little guy or girl in...puppies are resilient and as long as you are doing it at this time of the year he/she should be ok. Another sign of a good breeder is one that will not s...

She is a beauty, obviously loves to have her pic taken.

lovechows55 - its possible that a chow puppy raised with the bunny wounldn't chase it kind of like chows that are raised with cats dont chase them. Just a thought.

I missed the post that you brought them home so its belated but Congrats on finally getting them home \:D/ King LEO how fitting for him to be the alpha Ours were little at seperate times so we never had to ponder about a double crate but used a crate with Belle & Chumley for about 1 month. Never...

I happen to think 2 chows are the perfect number although I have had as many as 6 at one time. I also think it is better to get a male & female pair since they seem to get along better (none of the alpha nonsense you have with 2 boys). Cinnamon is a rare color. My Noddingham was a cinnamon and h...

Yes, some chows will act like sled dogs but some dont. You should try the tips from Ursa's daddy and decide for yourself. All my chow chows wear (have worn) harnesses. My Leo was so smart, at first I used a slip chain and he figured out that he could leave slack in the lead then back out of the coll...

Dont feel bad because Albertz 'seemed' to be better. There have been several times in both humans and dogs that I have observed where the very sick appear to be getting better right before they pass away. This may not be a 'popular' answer to your grieving but have you considered adopting another ch...

The only time the alpha roll works is when Belle rolls Chumley when they are playing :) I completely agree with Sirchow...its all about trust. They both may voice their dismay but they know momma is in charge. My husband bonded immediately with Belle and almost daily he would hold her. She would try...

Welcome Sumo! and it is a very appropriate name...he is soo fluffy (makes me want another one). Cant wait to watch him grow.

Auddymay you should feel pride...pride that your kids worked together to rid their yard of the intruder. Ok, so the intruder wasnt a real threat but they didn't know that. Pride that after they show such restraint and good behavior as to allow you to take their prize from them. And it really doesn't...

Welcome Wookie! My Nodingham had both ears that never popped up and it was part of his charm...made him look even more like a big teddy bear.

Our Leoette had 2 torn ACL's. We were able to get one side fixed before she got cancer. It was so hard to keep her still. In fact, my door knob still has her teeth marks and the doorway has scratch marks where she tried so hard to go out and play with the rest of the family

You could try those Thunder Shirts. I have heard that they work.

There is nothing I can say to make things better. Just know that in your heart you did the right thing for Albertz and now he can run free without pain. Hugs!

In 15 years of being owned by chows I have never had this situation. I have had messy chows but not one that was a drooler. Chumley seems to drool alot. His chin is almost always wet & brown. Do any of you have a drooler and what do you do about it
