Gus update

Gus is now 11 weeks old, is over 20 pounds (he was 11 when I got him), eats like a pig, has lots of energy, and seems to grow overnight almost every day!  So here are a couple of new pictures of my little "tater tot" (a friend who also has Chows commented on how the young cream ones look like tater tots when you look down on them, and she is right, LOL).  His coloring looks very different depending on the lighting (and whether a flash is involved), but the first picture is pretty accurate.

Too cute for words. Lora.  Thank you for keeping us up to day on his progress.  I for one look forward to these posts

Gus looks like a fat little teddy bear!  Every time you mention him I think of my great-Uncle Gus, who has been gone a long, long time but was a hoot!  I am missing my Choopie dog terribly and it is not getting much better.

Even with Gus, I still miss Max (the Scottie I had to unexpectedly put down 2 days after I got Gus) terribly.  Had a Scottie in the house for MANY years and the house feels empty without one... If I still feel that way after my knee is healed up and Gus is bigger, I will likely look into getting a female Scottie puppy.

He is beautiful and "Tater Tot" is a cute nickname for him!!! Thanks for the new pics!!!!

That is nothing but a pure hunk of love!  You are a wonderful Momma!!   I so love the pictures but I know it's got to be work to keep him so beautiful!

Thank you for sharing, I could just eat him up with some kisses!

He currently gets brushed for about 15 minutes three times a week.  He still resists being brushed and tries to bite my hands and the brush.  When Khan was full grown (he had the same sire as Gus and had a very thick coat), it was about an hour of brushing about twice a week (sitting on the floor with him) and MUCH more during the two times a year when he was blowing his coat for the season change.

He is such a cutie!

He is just adorable Lora.

Gus is the first I've seen that's a cream colored Chow. I think he's so much cuter than a red. He's so fluffy it makes you just want to cuddle up with him.
