Update: good news! So I thought I would update everyone on the progress between Mocha and me...and it is great! I must thank you all for your wonderful advice! :thumbsup: I didn't get him neutered, and I put any thoughts of getting him a buddy on the back-burner. Since he wouldn't come out of...

Thank you all for your advice! It is just what I needed. It is hard for me to see what's going on from the inside, I guess. I am going to cancel the surgery. I am nervous about it, if I lose him to an elective surgery, I don't know if I could forgive myself. People in my life have recommended...

I had three chins, all males raised from birth. Two were brothers, and the third is a distant cousin. The two brothers, WB and R2, passed away from severe malocclusion; WB in January 2010, and R2 in November 2011. It is now just Mocha and I, and he doesn't seem to trust me anymore. Mocha was my...

24/7 Emergency vet (boarding also available) When my chinnie R2 needed some dental work, I had to find someone highly competent when Dr. Kamaka was unavailable. I found an excellent vet in Bothell that only sees exotics (no cats/dogs). Dr. Maas did a complete work-up on R2 - he even sent me...

Chinnie Heaven Well, this update is not the one I wanted, but it was what I was given, so here it goes: I took WB to the vet this morning when they opened. She gave a looksie in his mouth and, well, it didn't look good. So, the short story is she recommended chinnie heaven and I called up my...

Thank you for the good mojo!!! I need it so bad right now. I feel like if I didn't have bad luck, I would not have any luck at all. I feel terrible for WB - I didn't mean for my bad luck to rub off on him. So, I am back from the grocery store with a few organic products: blackstrap molasses...

my heroes Thank you for all of your input! I know this info is everywhere in here, but sometimes it is easier to ask than to search desperately for bits and pieces. I actually have some of Dawn's stuff, but it may be too old. I bought it about a year ago when we moved into our new home...

To begin, I have already been to vet with my chin, WB, multiple times. He has had full head x-rays, and has had dental surgery 3 times now within the past two months. In a nutshell, all molars appear "dead," except for one, which is still growing. I took him back Saturday because I noticed...

We wanted to chin-proof a particular play area in our new home. No matter how many toys they have to chew when they are out to play, they are still too interested in trying to chew on baseboards, cabinets, furniture, etc. Erick suggested that we take a few boards of MDF (medium density fiber...

My husband and I went - it was our first chin show! We were so over-excited that we even put 2 raffle tickets in to win the standard female, even though we don't need another chin. But, our luck was fantastic - I won one of Mae's fabulous chin illustrations, and some other lucky soul got the...

We love Dr. Kamaka!! We take our 3 chins to Dr. Kamaka in Kirkland. She is fantastic and very thorough, which I have to say the chins don't appreciate (the latter, anyway). White Boy always gives her the stink-eye (furry eyeball) after his exams - she checks teeth, palpates the guts, checks...

Yay! My hubby and I will be there....hopefully I will get to meet some of ya'll and your chins, too.

I squealed with delight when I saw him! Soooo cute and I love his expression.

same thing here....same age...kinda scary. I was 15 and he was my first boyfriend. He wanted to spend every moment together and was totally sweet, until he became angry about me being busy with school stuff (band, journalism, etc.). Then he started beating me up, choking me, threatening to...

WoW! It is perfect! I am green with envy...
