Couldn't agree more - I'm not a fan of Martha's, but I've always been a fan of her chows! That was definitely a beautiful tribute, and it did make me cry!

It wasn't clear to me from Martha's blog what caused Paw Paw's death. But I just read on CNN that it was renal failure.

I remember meeting both Martha & Paw Paw at the Westminster Kennel CLub show in New York back in 1999. She was so proud of him and just gushed when we were talking at the judging ring. He seemed very laid back in the kennel area, even with all the people milling around. I am sure that even though she has a reputation for being somewhat cold, she will miss him very much.

She did a nice tribute to paw paw, didn't she just lose the Black Chow a few months ago or while she was in Jail.

Thank you Sylvia for the links and Cindy for the video.

I cried so much at her blog, you could always see hopw much she loved him when he was on the show with her. And Layla is so right, he was such a wonderful ambassador for the chow world. He was always so easy going and relaxed about everything, like a true chow! So non-chalant. :D

I loved reading the blog that she said he and another chow were the pets she never had to raise at because they were always just so well behaved. :D

Run free sweet Paw Paw, you touched so many lives.

I read the blog too. I think she wrote her other chow passed away recently and Paw Paw died from renal failure. I only ever knew about her two chows and now she has french bulldogs. Paw Paw was a great ambassador. I hope she gets another chow. I posted on the blog as well, though I'm not sure I did it right. Anyway, as I'm close to facing the same situation, it helped to read about Paw Paw.
