Ummm so I need to have another proud mom moment right now. Took J.D. to an event happening at the mall and got his picture taken by a local pet photographer that I love. I adore this picture!!! www.phodographer.com

Welcome! You definitely sound like you're as prepared as can be, can't wait to see pictures and hear stories!

Great pictures! Beautiful babies : )

Hard to pick just some things about J.D. I love but here are a few. I love how as we are pulling into the drive of the dog park he immediately realizes where we are and starts wriggling with excitement in a way he never does any other time. I love those moments when he does decide to snuggle, though...

J.D. eats most things but he doesn't gobble it up like most dogs too, even dog specific treats, he has to lay it down on the ground, sniff it, lick it, nibble, then eat it. Cracks me up. I mean I gave him a chicken nugget one time and he still did that process. Most dogs would have just swallowed it...

J.D. acts cat-like, he has never caught a mouse (thank goodness!!) but he does try to catch flies, and stretches his paws under the TV stand and hutch when toys roll under there. He stretches his back out like a cat when he gets up sometimes. And his very favorite thing to do is lay on the back of t...

Hooray for getting the keys!

MissV - I just said last week, the world is acting like I should be protecting them from J.D., when quite frankly I feel like I need to be protecting HIM from THEM and their negative thoughts and actions towards him!

I am so sorry to hear this. Thinking of you.

Is he neutered? I don't really know of a better way to get a handle on it than that. J.D. was pretty intensely humping before we got him snipped.

I know I think I would just be so stunned to see him balancing like that!!!

Oh my goodness!! If I saw my dog do that I would fall over in shock.

Thank you for the reply! He doesn't seem to scratch all that much but those tangles are always there. I can never seem to get them fully combed out and so they are in a big mess again in no time. It's very frustrating! These seems like a good tool to try though, because I didn't want to end up cutti...

Because people in the U.S. live in a state of fear and discrimination against many breeds of dogs, especially pit bulls. Where I live it is illegal to own a pit bull inside city limits. There are some areas of the country that have imposed similar bans on chows, though not with nearly the frequency ...

Tiberius is very handsome and I definitely LOVE the name!!! Welcome!

I am so sorry, she looks like a beautiful girl. You are lucky to have had so much time with her!

I love to hear rescue stories! My boy was dumped on the street and it still blows my mind because he's the most terrific dog I've ever met. Their loss = my gain. Sounds like you are an awesome person for trying so hard to find his owners and for taking him in!! Can't wait to hear updates!

That might be too far. I hadn't really mapped out where in West Virginia this would be starting : \

Congrats!!! I so wish I could afford a house. It's so hard to find chow-friendly rentals!!

Ohhhhh soooo cute! Love it. Love the picture of him laying on his back, that is too funny!!

Thanks for the replies : ) the furminating definitely helped him but I think we'll be having another session probably sometime this week to see what else comes off. Maybe I can make a second chow chow with it?! I think it's funny that when people see J.D. the have one of three reactions: A) Steer cl...

Oh Butter is absolutely gorgeous!

Oh my GOSH that is too hilarious! I love it!

I personally think a Furminator is an excellent tool to have. Some people feel it isn't worth the cost but I am extremely happy with it. However I don't think it would be a good tool to use on mats. If you can try to separate out the mats with a comb that'd be your best bet, but if they're really ba...

He is a beautiful boy!! Glad to hear he is doing so well : )

I live in Cincinnati, OH. Depending on where exactly the transport is going to be coming through I may be able to help! I would figure probably shooting straight up I-75 right?
