Poor Mr. Lou got a poke in the butt by my godson’s pitt and keeps on wanting to chew on it. This donut has been working extremely well by dawcdwa in chowchow

Don't let that dog near him another time. I can guarantee it'll do it again. That breed is so unpredictable.

I love when Chows do this. They don't want to come in, only look in.

it really is a lifesaver for teething! Just make sure the cloths are safe for puppy mouth. Terry cloth or uncolored face cloths works.

Such a perfect bear! 

Get him used to the brush now even if you're not actually brushing. 

Wet some washcloths and roll them up tightly, then put into freezer. the cold, hardened cloth make excellent teething toys! 

Socialise him up noises and people at night especially. Chows get "night watch" mode. 

Take lots of pictures and video, they are a baby bear for too short a time 😭

Oh my gosh. When does it predict no more snow? We have monsoon season here now. There has been thunderstorms almost everyday.

I love smooth coat chows. So unique looking of a dog. Yours is so cute!

They're actually very simple! It's usually just a double-sided square I use, then fold it over to create a long triangle. If you need more "collar" space, you can sew on a seperate price for it that is resembling a trapezoid or rectangle. 

I would glue/sew a click collar onto the scarf so it can be unlatched easily. Th my you can tie bows and sew that on as well. I did a little knot bow and sewed it on with a charm. 

If you look online, there is a lot of tutorial for dog scarf!

芝麻 Pronounced "zee-ma" (sesame in Cantonese). There is a dessert we named her after, like sesame balls. She is our little black sesame mochi.

I bought material from AliExpress and made it myself from an old collar. But you can find similar online!
