Ours does not have a breed policy. We have State Farm . I hope that helps. I know there are others as well.

I am like you and hoping nothing is wrong. Just going with electronics and wishing it to be nothing more serious .

After reading one of the threads about parks and panties I had to include this story and picture. We had taken all the dogs to walk in the park. Though my chow is not in this picture she was enjoying her walk with us. This is my son and his " now wife " , just got married. But that blue do...

I really hope everything is alright, maybe her server is down ? Or a computer problem ?

The last post I remember was after the Colonel's surgery around the 25th.
I hope everything is fine. Fingers , toes and Shandi paws crossed

This is a small town I live in relative to most these days. They could care less about pets even though they put on a good face and pretend well most of the time. We have what I guess is considered a good shelter. Not a very good animal control. Could not catch a cold type and doesn't care about the...

It took me awhile to be comfortable or know what to say here. I have never really done forums. I have noticed with some disputes/debates it can get heated but most of the time I have found they turn into grown ups and back off of each other . Just agree to disagree sort of thing. I like that about t...

I definitely vote for keeping them with the mom to learn more for 10-12 weeks. I saw the thread you're referring to and hope the pup survives and they do alot of socializing but it still might have more than average problems with other dogs as that is how they learn to talk with each other is mom an...

I am so sorry for your pup. She is so cute.
My Shandi has hip dysplasia , luckily Tramadol (easier on their tummies and safer works for her) .

Karin, Sorry this is a long reply. Lot of furkids. Technically there are 7 here and 7 cats. One though belongs to my youngest son, he is 19 , has a basset hound. He'll go with him when he moves out. A dog that was abandoned in a wal mart parking lot and was starving has been here about 8 months now....

:( Lets blame animals for what we did. Yeh. Fed antibiotics to cows and others. Don't fully finish antibiotics we are given for a bacterial infection. Don't clean properly. Last I heard most bacteria, including staph lives on everyone , yes pets too. It can cause skin infections and all types of pro...

I cannot imagine any dog appreciating being flipped over on their back at a new meeting. Our basset hound would have left that vet needing an awful lot of stitches!!!!!! Get a new vet. Sounds horrid.

I wish more vets were like the one I have.

Good luck , have fun !

Thank you again for the wonderful banners.

Shandilady...the beautiful dog with the white face/muzzle and black head....what is the breed??? Such a sweet, sweet profile. Hello, I think you are talking about my pug / cocker mix. She came about before those designer dogs were popular. She is one of the freebies. Her mom ate the rest of the pup...

I have been using Paypal for years and find it to be efficient and I think it is a great idea for this. I would be able to give some sometimes. I usually at least have a couple of dollars in mine. Mine is a ebay / paypal account and I have noticed it has a spot to mark for donations or non profit. M...

A bit of bitter apple might keep Steel from pulling the tip of the tail. iffy . My dogs get pretty rough and have pull hair out and so far all of it has grown back. I have heard that thyroid also gives some dogs a " rat tail " look where all of it starts to vanish from the tip on down. Esp...

I do love all the sounds chows make. My absolute fav / funny was when Shandi tried to learn to Meow .... she actually got it several times. She was trying to talk a very fluffy grey cat down from the higher shelves. She still mews once in awhile as she is talking to her. Doesn't do it with the other...

Two cents. I am one of those folks without much funds. In debt with vet bills now but I do donate extra, toys , blankets , sheets and other items our no kill shelter needs. I also help transport stuff since I have a van to do so. Beside the point though. Our shelter sometimes has animals for several...

New here pretty much but I've found your stories and suggestions / thoughts to be helpful and funny or tearful once or twice. You seem great to me and like my chow I am picking about the company I pick. I choose this site. Never really chatted on sites but this place and people have been fantastic! ...

Some folks just are never gonna change or grow. Sorry to hear she was rude to you and Sid. Sid sounds so smart, sweet and much more intelligent than her.

Hi, I had similar problems with Shandi most of her life until I found this site and read alot. Then the recalls of food and all that. She used to have a pink tummy , hardly any hair on it. Not quite as bad as your sweetie but at times it was close. I have for the past 3 or 4 months fed Innova Evo RM...

I have 3 vacuums, the hoover windtunnel works okay or best on the floors / furniture for us. Truly I am so glad mostly I have tile and hard wood floors and a good ole fashioned broom. The good thing about chow hair is it is in clumps. The husky and cats it just sheds as they walk in this fine mist c...

My son's heeler is the one our vet calls demon dog. She doesn't let anyone near her unless he is there . That is with people around her everyday of her life. One owner. She just won't let anyone else near her unless he is there or she knows them very very well. Mean little lady.

Karin, Mikki looks like a charmer. Very cute the way she is sitting. I agree I don't think burglars like dogs at all , mostly just too much trouble and too noisy.
