Hi everybody, Sid Vicious here to tell you that I love being a Chow Ambassador. I get to meet and greet people and dogs of all shapes and sizes. A few weeks ago I was in the park, all by myself, when a man walked up to the fence with this little frail looking dog. My Momma asked "Is that a Whippet?".. The Dad said "Yes, his name is MoJo.".. My Momma asked them to come in and promised that I would not attack MoJo but if MoJo ran I would chase him. The Dad brought MoJo into the park. We had so much fun! Those Whippets can run FAST and I could not keep up with him but I had fun trying! The Dad was happy that MoJo got to run and that I was such a good Chow Chow. OK.. so.. a few weeks later MoJo and his brother Sammy come into the park to play. That day there was a LOT of other dogs, big ones, small ones, loud ones and quiet ones.. Of COURSE none as quiet as me though, I'm shy. Sammy, a 2 year old Whippet, was really scared and hid behind his Momma. I started walking up to him very calmly and coaxed Sammy to come out. I really like Sammy and MoJo. Well, now the story turns dark. Yesterday, at the park, there was about 10 dogs in the park. Sammy and MoJo show up. I was so excited to see them! Well, MoJo, who is only 8 months old, started to play with the rougher crowd (not me, I hate that) and they all started running around like a pack of wild "dogs".. WELL.. about four of them collide into MoJo, the smack was so loud that everyone turned around to look! I was standing next to my Momma like I always do when they get that rough. MoJo let's out this horrifying yelp of pain! The Dad scooped up MoJo and started walking out the park. I was so worried for MoJo that I walked next to them all the way to the gate. While we were standing at the gate another dog started to walk up to us. I turned around, looked at the dog, gave him my meanest look and barked, real loud and real deep! Another lady in the park was amazed and told my Momma that my behavior was totally out of character and my Momma agreed. I was just so freighted and worried for MoJo!! Today we see the Momma and Sammy. MoJo broke his leg! He had to have surgery and get pins in his bones. I don't understand all that stuff but I could tell my Momma was way upset. I don't think I'll be playing with MoJo and Sammy any time soon which is too bad. The next time my Momma sees Sammy she's going to ask if we can just walk with them because Sammy needs to be more confident and it will make me happy to see Sammy. I hope MoJo gets better fast, poor little guy.
