He usually stays in the suburbs, but came down for the week and enjoyed living like a city slicker! 🩷✨ One thing he apparently loves to do here is bar hop 😅😂

Seems to be the only toy Bao Bao will consistently play with. When he is excited, he will naturally go get his tennis ball as a way to exert his energy! 🎾😎

FINALLY some amazing weather in Toronto today and my dad and I got to walk the BAO BAO up the hill. He was so happy, he had a true pep in his step. When we reached the top, he found a nice shaded patch of grass to rest. What a nice hike w Bao the Chow!

I know this has been talked about before, but the common belief that chows are dumb is hilarious to me after being a chow owner now for 2.5 years. Chows ofc get a bad rep because they are not obedient and therefore not “smart.” Ofc we know that obedience does not translate into intelligence. Some of the things my Bao Bao has done makes me know he is genuinely a very smart dog. For example, he was potty trained at 2 months, I taught him to ring a bell in a day to pee in the backyard, he’ll only come inside if the treats i bribe him with are worth his going rate for the day lol, he solves new toy puzzles in minutes, and I can tell by his eyes that he understands everything i am asking of him (although of course does not comply). Anyway, I love the chow for their intelligence and independence.
