Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are mom's to, either or both, 2 legged and 4 legged children/chowdren

Whitby and her mom (Pam)

Oh Victory, When I read this, a wave of total sadness washed over me. :( I wish there was something I could do to help you. As Sarahloo asked, do you have friends or relatives nearby who could share some living space with you or help you out. If you attend or belong to a church, perhaps there might ...

Hi Sarahloo Thank you for your kind reply. As for Whitby’s size, I’m not sure what she’d be considered as. She weighed 52 pounds when I rescued her and now tips the scale at 67 pounds. I’m sorry. I didn’t think to list the size of cup I use. It is was my grandma’s coffee cup and it holds about 6 oun...

I agree 100% with what Chow4Life said/wrote. My heart goes out to you and I'm sending you my deepest, heartfelt sympathy. :( I lost my beloved Chloe two years ago and I remember how devastating it was. :( Tears still come now and then. Take comfort in knowing that Mochi will always hold a special pl...

I thought more members might read this if I posted my request for help and suggestions here instead of in the Health or Nutrition forums. I rescued Whitby roughly a year and a half ago and since then, little by little, she has gained roughly 15 pounds. I took her to the vet last evening for a wellne...

Hi Kelly, Welcome to the "chow" neighborhood. :) Congrats on Mazzy and Bella! =D= They are a pair of cuties! Love the black and white picture of them! Looking forward to more pics of them a postings from you. So sorry to hear of Sierra's passing. :( Sending you my deepest sympathy and a co...

Remember the pet rock fad from years ago? Whitby has one. :lol: I have a rock that is the size of a miss-shaped cantaloupe. It sits beside a planter at a corner of my patio. The planter had been turned upside down over it for the winter. I just right-sided the planter the other day and sat the rock ...

I just read of Jack Black’s passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Thank you for sharing some of your treasure trove of memories of him and his life intertwined with yours. I can only imagine the pawprints he has left on your heart and in your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Run fre...

We had one whale of storm last evening and for the first time since I rescued Whitby (Dec. 2011) she turned into a bowl of jello. The storm came up while I was watching television upstairs in my TV room. I heard Whitby coming up the stairs and then came into the room with me, which she normally does...

This is for the future as I know you went to the vet: When your chow vomits such liquid that's yellow in color, that means his stomach is empty and nothing to vomit except the very acid contained in the stomach. He has stomach upset. Maybe he is not eating at all. Try to give him something to whet ...

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. :( Please accept my deepest sympathy. From reading your post I know you two had a great relationship. Even though Coozie is gone from you physically he will always have a special place in your heart and in the memory box of your mind. You’re in my thoughts and pray...

I work a full time job, a part time job, plus babysit my granddaughter in the evenings so Monday thru Friday we take shorter walks. My weekends are free and give us time for more and longer walks . Whitby takes full advantage of them. :lol: She likes to delay returning to the house. We’ll be coming ...

I’ve really enjoyed reading this post and chuckled at some of the uses for chows. Sirio:l such a sweet picture of your draught excluder Nancy: loved the picture of Nikki and the dinosaurs Pinoy51: neat pictures of Simba and Nala My beloved Chloe enjoyed being my cooking/baking assistant. Whenever I ...

Please accept my deepest sympathy due to the loss of your furbaby. She may be gone physically but will always hold a special place in you heart and in the memory box in your mind.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending you a warm comforting hug.

Take care
Pam

Isn't it funny how we often think we were the one who chose them when they already knew they were to be ours? We soon become one and our lives are forever meshed together, both here on earth and when they cross over the rainbow bridge. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you a big warm comfo...

Hi Andel Welcome to our chow chow “neighborhood”. You will soon discover that we have a great group of neighbors here from a number of countries and the USA. Your post made my day. I did the same thing you did when I first joined here. It took me several tries before I realized I had to click on “su...

Thank you for sharing such a touching story. It warmed my heart and brought a smile to my face as I read it. These two pups are so fortunate to have you find them and give them a new lease on life and lots of love. God bless you! =D= May I suggest you post this on the General forum? Not everyone com...

Just read your announcement and I’m doing my happy dance! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ Congrats Marti! I’m so-o-o excited for you and Joe! I can imagine how over-the moon happy you both are. Many moons ago I had some health issues. My husband and I were married for ten years when God finally smiled on us and bles...

I chuckled when I read this post/question. It is currently “molting season” at my home. Whitby is shedding like crazy. Some days when I get home from work it looks like a candy cotton machine had exploded on my first floor. My sweeper is currently sitting in the corner of my dining room since I’m ru...

Happy Birthday Ty. \:D/ Wow! So your 2 yrs old. Enjoy your big day and your treats! Too bad we don’t live closer to each other then we could celebrate our birthdays together on Valentine’s Day. Whitby wants to know if they make peanutbutter cat cookies. We have a number of stray cats around our home...

I agree with wokman. The guideline mentioned is a very good one to follow. You want to consider your furbaby’s quality of life. You don’t want him to suffer and when it is time, allow him to pass away with dignity. This is a hard decision to make but it is the last and best gift you can give your fu...

First of all I’d like to welcome you to our “neighborhood”. I noticed that you just recently joined here. To me, the members here remind me of when I was growing up in a small old-time neighborhood. Sharing, caring, listening, laughing, offering advice and suggestions and best of all - lending a sho...

I just read this and it brought a sad sigh and tug to my heart. Having to make this kind a decision is one of the hardest and most heart-wrenching decisions you’ll ever have to make. At a time like this, I personally feel we have to step outside of our self and consider what is best for our furbaby ...

Sending you my deepest heartfelt sympathy. Your story about Louie brought tears to my eyes. :( Sometimes people say “I know how you feel” but they really don’t. I can honestly say I do know how you feel as I lost my beloved Chloe little over two years ago in January. I just wrote a little memorial h...

I’m so sorry to hear about the health issues Fozz and Hunphrey are having. :( I can imagine how disheartening it is for you with them being as young as they are. I think it is a little easier for us “parents” to accept and deal with health issues our fur babies may have when they are older even thou...
