This month Oprah Winfrey's 13-year old cocker spaniel Sophie passed away after suffering kidney failure, and Oprah gave a special episode dedicated to Sophie and to stopping puppy mills.  Today, fellow talk show host Martha Stewart posted a blog announcing that her adorable redheaded Chow "Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow" died on Saturday approaching his 13th year.  That really is an unlucky number!  Poor pups...I hope they're all in doggie heaven!

From Martha's Blog:

Thank you for the many kind words, they are most appreciated. I have added a new picture of Paw Paw's final resting place at the end of this post.

As many of you know, my beloved dog, Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow, was not feeling well in recent weeks and I am very heart-broken to announce his passing last Saturday, April 12, 2008 as he was approaching his 13th year.  Paw Paw was a spectacular chow and an even more spectacular dog.  He was always my loyal companion, displaying the most agreeable temperament.  Paw Paw loved traveling with me and was always a willing model for the camera.  In addition to taking part in television commercials and several national print ads, he has been part of numerous photo shoots and is a familiar face on my television show, in my magazine, and on this blog.  Paw Paw’s veterinarians, Dr. Thomas Marsh of Fairfield, CT and Dr. Marty Goldstein of South Salem, NY also admired his easy-going nature, and caring for him was never a chore.  Even in his final days, Paw Paw just stopped eating and drifted off to deep sleeps, where he now rests peacefully, and, I’m most confident, quite happily.  I will miss him, always."
