A Tribute to Mr. Khan

by Meg on March 8, 2009

Unfortunately, a horrible propane accident claimed the life of Martha Stewart’s baby Chow Chow "Genghis Khan" and other pups yesterday. More details are here at Martha’s blog.

Here is a muzzlepowshe and paw tribute follows. Mr. Khan at 9 weeks:

Nooooooooooooo!

Gawker is reporting that Twitter is reporting that Martha Stewart is reporting that Lil’ Genghis Khan, Martha Stewart’s Chow Chow pup, and grand-son of the late Paw Paw has died!

The poor thing apparently perished in a fire at the breeder’s.

How unfortunate and very, very sad…

I’d like to see something in a size 10 marmie, Diane D.

Orwell That Ends Well

Oh, it seemed reasonable enough at the time; these things always do. "Surveillance kitties," they called them. Strictly for our protection, they said.
