Hi Chip

-Ain't it the truth-there's nothing more aggravating than a bad haircut!!!

It's sweet that you realize she's getting on in age, and needs extra TLC.

You're a good " daddy " .

Morning guys!

Whazzup!? Yesterday, before I went out with my friend, my mom and I took

Sasha, our 12 yrs old chow-mix to my former work, Doggy Time for her grooming

appointment. right? Cuz, she was all smelly, her nails were a bit long, and her

furs doesn't seem to be straighten out, ever since my brother's fiances shaved

her back then, lol!

Anyway, after I got back home from my day with my friend, I saw Sasha and

she look more prettier and more like a normal chow mix than before! Cuz, when my

brother's fiances shaved her, Sasha looked like she came out of a bad

science/genetic experiement, lol! Now, she looks more like a smooth-coated Chow

Chow! But, my mom and I noticed something different about her. Since, she's very

old (chows normally lives up to 12 yrs, we had our 1st purebred chow that lived

up to 15 yrs!), she's gonna be 13 in April, not only she's slow and not as

active as she used to, she seem to be losing her hearing too!

Cuz, whenever we walk passed by her, or patting her, when she's not paying

attention, she'll get scared and all startled ya know! It's like coming up to

some1 who's deaf, not paying attention, then they'll get startled when you touch

them ya know. Sasha almost bit me, but not bite more like getting her paws on me

ya know.

Dang man, I guess the old age is really getting to her. At least she still

around, she also have a bit of arthritis problem in her back legs too, I know 1

of my friend's dog is like that too, cuz his dog is also old too, right? Anyway,

she still enjoys going on walks with me, even though she tend to pull the leash

and strain herself, lol! No, the collar isn't small....she just pulling hard

enough to make the collar tighter ya know. It's normally larger than her neck,

it's the way she pulls ya know. I guess we have to make her last day special to

her. Then when it's time for her to go to Doggy Heaven to meet my old pets in

the past, even friends pets, my dad, and all other people I knew/heard too,

right? Then, I'll let you guys know. For now, gonna take care of her cuz her

energy and hearing are getting low ya know. Thanks, have a nice day!
