Kryptonite a.k.a. Shelby the Chow Chow

Oh, I wanted her. I still want her. I'm glad she's adopted, but there's a little part of me that's sad I didn't see her first.

Okay, if you don't know this about me let me just say up front, I've had a thing about Chow Chows since the late '80s. I was dating a guy with a huge red Chow named Einstein who liked to eat my underwear (don't ask, 'cause you probably really don't want to know) and I pointed out a poster with the cutest puppy on it and was told it was a Chow Chow.

One of the volunteers pointed Shelby out and even though her picture had been taken I had to go in at the end of my shift and get me some "Chow time". What a sweetheart. What a lover. As soon as I started petting her she crawled up and tried to lick my face. When I wouldn't let her do that, she curled up close next to me and laid her head on my lap under my arm so that I would keep petting her.

I'm thinking she's mixed with Beagle which gave her the most adorable color and made her small. She was full grown here.

On my next Paparazzi shift I decided that I was going to take some photos of her, if not for her profile then for me. This was the last time I got to cuddle with her as she was one of the first to get adopted during the Grand Opening event the first of July.

Oh how I miss her ... I do love a cuddly Chow.
