"Part Two - Out On Manoeuvers"

Once again, we'd like to let you know why BLIND CHOWS RULE!!!!

Yesteday, many of you were keeping your fingers and paws crossed for MeiMei's big Rescue Debut.
Here we are setting out this morning for our Water Work exercise in rescue. Mei Mei's all primed up and ready to go!
Once again, Merlin has graciously volonteered to play the VICTIM . (such a good chow chow he is)


Our shining star of the day: Miss MeiMei Vigelais Mikkimotto
Brave and courageous beyond words!
Primed and ready to go forth and save the world from evil.
A rare glimpse at a true star......




As you can see the weather is more than co-operating as both heros set out being towed behind the tow boat into the murky depths of danger.


The shore line is getting farther and farther away as the level of danger increases.
The adrenalin is high, and everyone is chomping at the bit!
Both parties are rehearsing their important roles over and over making sure they play their part flawlessly, with perfect execution.



Now, halfway into the middle of deep, dark, ominous lake, both parties are gearing up for the maiden PEI-rescue performance.

All is quiet, bets are placed, media holding breathe, all is still, and the cameras are rolling as; MEI MEI is given her command to BRING THE BOAT BACK TO SHORE!!!

Command: Don't just stare at us, come back here MeiMei! - Jump in Dear, Come on, you can do it!


Direction yells "ACTION""
Holy Smokes ! Major upset - BUT WHAT'S THIS ?? - THE CHOW IS JUMPING INTO THE WATER!!
(Oh My Gosh!)

In a stunning display of masculin, macho, bravado, Merlin decides to take the helm and save his little
sister MeiMei ?!?!?!?



HANG ON MEIMEI - I'LL SAVE YOU!
As MeiMei continues to comtemplate what to do, Blind Chow Merlin, unbelievably swan-dives into the cold, deep, dark water, blindly navigates and tows the boat and the stage frightened Shar-PEI, 50 meters back to shore in record time!

What a stunning upset for the Shar-PEI world!



MeiMei CLEARLY embarassed by being out done by a blind chow, asks the director for another "TAKE".
We willingly oblige and re-take the shot. Here goes MeiMei one more time!


And does MeiMei come through??? YES!!! Why YES!!! She jumps into the deep, dark, perilous waters to save the day.!


( a little late... but none the matter..... )


MeiMei - determined to carry out her charge, reaches the shoreline in good order with absolute determination!!!
(After all MeiMei is only ONE little, tiny year old).... it's a lot to expect all this from a baby pei-ling.


Well, everyone's had a big morning. It's back to the drawing board but we all made progress.
Clearly the man below is the hero of the day!
Our little blind chow chow Merlin!
What A Guy!
What a chowy moment in history!... and who says that chows aren't Working Dogs ?!?!?

.... and YES he got LOADS of hugs and cookies! (so did pei-ling)

Hey Merlin & MeiMei, you are both very beautiful!!! Come visit my blog if you have a chance!

Love nibbles,
Miss Sunshade

very funny... where's mommy and where are the cookies?
and how in the world did those blue tongued creatures manage alone in the boat. such clever creatures !

:D I enjoyed your story. We adopted a blind minature poodle when we heard that it would be shipped off to the university of Guelph to participate in a research project. We had 2 Bichons at the time and thought they can be Jordie's eyes. We lived in Milton Ont at the time, and life was good, until a neighbour found out that the town of Milton only allowed 2 dogs per household. After a few registered letters from the town, we decided to move to Cambridge Ont where the bylaw permitted 3 dogs. Jordie is now 11 years old, and is enjoying life. The Bichons are getting older and starting to slow down. Jordie has been a great addition to our home, who enjoys walking, and jogging in the park. Snuggling in beside you when watching TV.Life turned out very good for this lucky pup.

We have a chow who works as a volunteer therapy dog in the hospital

very cute story with great pix. Thanks for sharing!

:)

That is SOOOO funny! What a cute story, and told in such detail! Very enjoyable!

Awh, and they're so cute in their little life vests!

Maarvelous !!
An award winning performance and production. As a volunteer water rescuer myself... I would love to have the company of M&M. Great Show !!!!!

This was fantastic! I was hoping for the best until the very end. MeiMei and Merlin are bound to be stars. Thanks for sharing. Maybe there's hope my pei, Bailey will someday get in the water!

WOW what a great story, I enjoyed it so much. thankyou beautiful pei :D

Great story! Love the thought bubbles. Georgie-girl thinks Mei-mei is insane to go into the water. :D

Poor MeiMei foiled again by her chowy brother, Merlin. That was so funny. I am so proud of them both. WAY TO GO !!!

Barbara and Miss Bubbles were amazed and amused by the rescue pictures and story! Great! Sammy, the almost blind Chow who looks like he could be Merlin's brother, wants to have a chat with Merlin. He wants Merlin to know that just because Chows were working dogs for centuries and can still be, doesn't mean that they should be. Sammy says to watch out in case your mom starts to think you ever do anything other that what pleases you and to seriously avoid any notion of Chow training resulting in the Chow being trained other than vice versa (smile).

Adorable and so very well done!!!

:D

What a great story! Merlin & MeiMei are both heros in my book!

:) :D

Love the story! You did a great job and the pictures were great. I truly enjoyed it.

Oh Merlin! You are so strong and brave. I am so looking forward to meeting you.Maybe you could even teach me to swim?

MM.....
Just love this; you should be a "writer" in your next life!!!
CHOWS RULE!!!!

Love your stories. For some reason I can never see the pictures when you present them in this form. When you send them to the list I see them fine. It probably is something on my computer that is blocking it. Anyway----great stories!

:D
What a great story! What fun it was to read! You should sell that story to a children's book publisher. Very unusual.

Woohoo Merlin and MeiMei!! What a great story. CT and Diamond now know who to call when a water emergency arises!

I love it!!! Perfect storyplot!! I expect to see Merlin and MeiMei showing at the movies soon!!
Way to go Merlin!
