Jan's PingPing pillow chowchow!

Real name or Nickname: Jan

Age: 24

Location: Singapore

My chowchow is called: PingPing

My chowchow is a...: Medium sized pillow.

Number of chowchow years it has lived: 17 years (3 generation)

History of my chowchow: This current Pingping is my third one(she's wearing new clothes in this pic). The first 2 had passed away badly injured. Must have squeezed them too hard when I slept.

I named her PingPing because the first one I had, her 'flesh' is Pink in colour. I thought pink and ping sounds the same, and from that day she was born.

Bought the 2nd one to replace the death of the 1st, and the 3rd one to replace the 2nd. I hate to part with the previous ones, but I guess the holes on them is just too disturbing to keep them around. Nevertheless, when I threw them away, I'll always put the new one with the old, to absorb whatever goodness they have before letting go.

And I would rather not put night creams when I sleep, just because I don't want to stain PingPing and affect her smell!

When was the last time your chowchow had a bath?: Never bathed, never suntanned. Defeats the purpose isn't it? Haha!

My family's relationship with my chowchow: They try not to offend each other!

Even my dog doesn't like to smell her.

My bed partner's relationship with my chowchow: Everytime I sniff my PingPing and hug her tight, he'll always say I look like I'm taking drugs, or sniffing glue. I had this 'high' face everytime I sniff her I guess. He describes her smell as some herbal medicine, which I obviously don't agree.

Finally, I love my chowchow because…: PingPing had been with me for a long time. All 3 of them went through tough times with me, especially during my frivolous days, where Pingping would see new guys every other month. At the end of each so called relationship, PingPing is always there for me. As i cried bitterly, she will absorb my tears, and at the same time taking away the unhappiness. When all the guys would come and go, PingPing is always there for me.

But i look at her or you guys look at her, the cheerful face she has, will cheer me up or anybody up. She had been through operating table (sewing) few times through the years, but now too fragile to go through another round.

When was the last time your chowchow had a bath?: She is scared of Water, & too fragile to go for a swim, so never had one!! The brown cloth on her had turn to 'leather' through the years! & the special smell that come with it is so unique that no such perfume with this smell ever invented yet.

Now she (WaWa) has 2 other friends sleeping next to her (not in photo) namely BearBear & BigFoot (Both given to me by my wife as Birthday present). She accepted WaWa as a family members.

Finally, I love my chowchow because…: She is there always with a cheerful smile :-)(I wish she could talk). Make my day. She will be with me as long as i am in this world.

SA's Bunny! - [ED: last sentence really pulled at my heartstrings]

Real name or Nickname: SA

Age: 21

Location: Melbourne

My chowchow is called: Chao Chao Bunny (#2)

My chowchow is a...: bunny stuff toy

Number of chowchow years it has lived: 16

History of my chowchow: 1988 - Age 1, I received chao chao bunny #1 for my birthday and immediately became my favourite toy.

1992 - Mum couldn't stand the tattered bunny it had become that was both smelly and to her 'unsightly', she threw it away

1992 - I was so distraught and visibly missing my chao chao that Mum felt so bad that she went back to the store Chao Chao #1 was originally was bought from (Metro) to buy a new one for me. She couldn't find the exact one - but we did find one that was similar.

So that's how Chao Chao bunny #2 entered my life.

Since then - she's gone on holidays and travels back and forth from Singapore - Melbourne.

When was the last time your chowchow had a bath?: 6 years ago (too many holes now, she won't survive a bath)

My family's relationship with my chowchow: The victim of my brothers and my cousins of endless threats of rabbitnapping and other acts of torture (hanging her with a taekwando belt)

And constant threat from my Mum, who thinks it's time for her to go (she's thought it's time for 8 years now)

My bed partner's relationship with my chowchow: No bed partner but in hostel, my roommate abused the poor thing by covering her whole surface areas with clothes pegs

Finally, I love my chowchow because…: The very smelly, lumpy and torn remains of my beloved chao chao has been with me through everything significant since I was 5.

She's celebrated every victory and absorbed (literally) every failure. [ED: LOL ouch...]

Right now she's in a very critical state but I'll always love chao chao just the way she loved me when i felt unloved.

[ED: The last sentence of this submission is, to me, the most emotional I have read thus far.]

History of my chowchow: It's the second semester of my uni term and my housemate decided to get me a cow soft toy just because. =) he never really left my bed. Even his plastic tag is soft from all the hugging!

When was the last time your chowchow had a bath?: erm. never.

My family's relationship with my chowchow: Family back in singapore has not seen him yet. they would love him of course. especially the dog. he's good with toys.

My bed partner's relationship with my chowchow: He will have to get used to a pair of big eyes staring!

Finally, I love my chowchow because…: i love my chowchow because he looks ridiculous. and given with love.

WL's Bean Bean Chowchow!

Real name or Nickname: WL

Age: 21

Location: Melbourne (current location) / Singapore (hometown)

My chowchow is called: Bean (3rd sound) Bean (2nd sound)

My chowchow is a...: Imitation Teddy (Mr Bean's bear)

Number of chowchow years it has lived: 5 years

History of my chowchow: I bought BeanBean at one of those odd fairs that are sometimes held at the Suntec City Convention centre. It was love at first sight, especially since the price tag (S$4!) was screaming out at me.

I've always wanted to own a Mr Bean's bear mostly because it makes me feel like I'm 'closer' to Mr Bean (yea who wasn't a fan of the Channel 5 Mr Bean reruns right...) when we share a mutual love. Hahaha

Unfortunately, BeanBean was kidnapped about a year ago by my baby cousin who came into my room and took ownership of Le Bear. Being 20, it seemed beneath me to be fighting over a bear with someone half my age... so.. au revoir BeanBean.

When was the last time your chowchow had a bath?: NEVER! Must preserve the natural 'bear smell'.

My family's relationship with my chowchow: Accidentally step on it, kick aside, kinda treatment.

My bed partner's relationship with my chowchow: Some things you just gotta bear with it...

Finally, I love my chowchow because…: It's handsome.
