Re: Dont want to leave puppy
I think you've sorta answered your own question. There is no doubt in my mind that if you're going to get a puppy, it needs to relate to you as the Alpha and that means spending as much time as possible with it in the beginning. Most dog books agree that a month is helpful. But you also pose an inte...

Re: Male or Female???
Kimba was Joe's chow when we started dating and then got married. It took about two years for her to merely "accept" me but it was so worth it. She was so delightful. We would have many an hour-long conversation with one another while I did dishes at 1:00am before my husband got home from ...

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks so much for that. I suppose the turkey that was cooked down in stock should be okay, since all the fat was skimmed off. But, good to know about skin. Geesh ... I STILL don't know everything! (tee hee)

Re: Humphers Attacked
Thanks so much, Victory. I always appreciate an opportunity to learn. What scares, me about the staffy (or the pitt for that matter) is the VISIBILITY of their muscles. They're so sleek and strong. Very intimidating. It wasn't until the pitt was gone that I was able to appreciate it's beauty. So bla...

Re: My little Bodyguards.
Wow! What a response! Your poor chowdren were so startled, I bet! Glad to know that they'll be right there for you in a real situation and I'm glad the guy listened when you told him to shut the door. There's something to comforting in knowing the pups are there for me, too. I know their barks when ...

Hello sweet girl!!! Blue chows are so hard to photograph inside (I know because our Leo is tough to capture). But of what I can see of her, she is precious, indeed! Congratulations!

Re: Does my chowling develop bad behavior?
I'll throw this out for you because I wish I would have had pictures when I was looking for items I needed. Fortunately, I had LOTS of advice on what to get. First off, a comb. Not many people suggested this but my husband already had this one and I have found it to be INVALUABLE, especially with so...

Happy T-day to all, too. And ... what's the deal with turkey skin?!?!?! I'm freaking out now because I made turkey stock with all the leftovers (which included the skin) and picked out the meat to use as treats for the boys (ensuring there were no bones, of course). Is it the same as onions or is it...

Re: Getting a Second Dog
I'll add my two cents here but first ... excellent dialog, Rory's Dad! When Kimba was still with us, we desired another pup so she could "teach" all her wonderful traits. Our breeder turned out to be a jerk and she passed before that could happen. When we decided to get another chow-baby, ...

Re: Today marked a year without Nikki and it was hard
It's funny how the little things that Leo and Max will do remind me so much of Kimba. No, they don't replace but they help to put things in perspective and rekindle the love and affection Kimba and I shared. ((Well, maybe not love but certainly acceptance.)) I imagine Nikki and Kimba over Rainbow Br...

Re: Worried/Nervous about leaving home ...
Thanks to everyone for your care and concern. Max and Leo tolerated my departure very well and my husband ended up taking some extra time off so they were only, actually, alone for one of his 10-hour shifts. And, good boys that they are, they peed in the garage (as I suspected they would). Our trip ...

I have two, quite different chowpups. Leo HATES the water and will only dash quickly out to wee then quickly zooms back in, sliding across the floor in an attempt to stop. Max, however, the big lug, will literally sit down outside like nothing else is going on. He'll look up at the sky like, "O...
