Birthday: January 1st 2001 Likes: I like to pick a comfy spot in the master bedroom and take short naps during the day. Pet-Peeves: I am pretty happy in my home. There's not much to complain about in my life. Favorite Toy: I prefer to listen to the world around me. Favorite Food: My favorite food is anything raw. Boy that's good stuff! Favorite Walk: I like to walk wherever my family walks me. We have many parks that we've been to. I like to find a patch of grass to do my business then I stay close to my mom and 2 other dogs. I don't want to get lost!! Best Tricks: Are they called tricks? I know I like to Sit, Down, Here and Over. Arrival Story: My Los Angeles, CA rescue worker found a place that would take me in so on Saturday, 9/27/2008, I was transported from Los Angeles to Berkeley where my new family met me and drove me to Sacramento. Bio: I did time in an L. A. shelter not once, but twice. I was rescued both times by a Chow rescue group in Los Angeles. My coat was all matted and I was shaved down. It's growing out nicely, too, since I have good food, plenty of love and the best vet care! Forums Motto: I can't see but I know you are near.

I've Been On Dogster Since:
It's been months since my last diary entry and well lots has been goin' on at home. My mom recently brought home another dog to add to our dog pack. The 4th dog is a tiny little guy. He's old, too...at least 10! He only weighs 5lbs and is a Yorkshire Terrier.
This little guy (Giro) gets chilled easily, especially in this week's frosty weather. Mom is just nuts about this little guy... I mean...mom's way more kooky than usual. Our latest addition to the family has to wear....clothes! When you're a chow chow like me, the last thing you need is clothes!
We had snow the other day which is highly unusual for the Sacramento, CA area. Mom and her boys were super excited about it. It's nice to be out there in the freezing cold. Mom makes me come inside because she can't stand seeing me out there. She doesn't understand that my triple coat is keeping me warm in this weather.
Hi, it's been some time since I've been on Dogster. The summer has been busy with family activities & continued dog training on the weekends.
Next month, at the estimated age of 7, I'm celebrating my one year anniversary with my family.
Today was an exciting day for me...I passed my AKC CGC test! My trainer was very happy for me and said I was her first blind dog to pass her CGC testing. I'm sure there will be more than a few people that may not believe it right away because I'm a Chow Chow. Chow Chows have come to be known as stubborn dogs that are not as easy to train as other breeds.
A few weekends ago, mom trimmed a bit of hair from my underbelly. That fur was nearly dragging on the floor and mom thought I was looking a bit like I suffer from loose belly skin and a sway back. I look much better now...slim and trim, actually.

I have a black gentle leader head collar (worn just behind my ears and not over my nose) that mom uses on me with a matching leash to lead me to the car or for walks in the neighborhood.
2. I eat raw chicken, raw pork, raw turkey *without* the skin but *with* the bones.
6. I like to sleep in the coolest spot I can find on the tile floor of the hallway just outside the master bedroom, in front of the floor fan.
7. I don't know when my actual barkday is and I haven't had a barkday during the time I've been living here...since September 2008.
8. I eat once a day...usually in the afternoon or evening.
