New Kittens Alert! Empress Tang and Princess Peony

PetSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:50:48 -0700

What pretty Persian faces! Meet Empress Tang (at right) and Princess Peony (at left), the two kittens recently joining Martha Stewart's furry menagerie.

After losing Paw Paw, Ghenghis Khan and, most recently, a Himalayan named Mozart, I'm betting these two will keep her other pets rather occupied - smooshies Francesca and Sharkey already smell trouble!

The tricolor calicos already have another high-profile connection as she learned about them from Grace Coddington, who used some of this breeder's cats in a past Vogue photo shoot. From the looks at it, these 5-month-old kittens are well on their way to a future in modeling . . . for Martha, at least. Congratulations!

Pledge Your Time and Be a Shelter Pet Hero!

PetSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 06:00:53 -0700

Even if you can't spare a few bucks, one thing you can always donate is your time. And what better way to spend a few hours over the weekend (or if you're lucky, during the week) than playing with a few furry friends at a local shelter? Purina's Be My Hero program helps you do just that.

And it's not just about playtime with a few pups - when you pledge to spend time volunteering at one of the 7,500 participating shelters across the country, Purina will donate $5 dollars to pets in need. Hey, if Martha Stewart can do it (that's one of her first kittens), I think you can to.

All Kitties Go to Heaven: Martha's Beloved Mozart Passes

PetSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:25:15 -0700

I'm already Twitter pals with Martha Stewart (that camel's neighbor) and a big fan of her two super-cute smooshies, Francesca and Sharkey. Not only did she lose a puppy just three months ago, she tweeted today about the death of her cat, Mozart.

The 19-year-old (!) Himalayan was buried next to her late Chow Chow, Paw Paw. Seems the cat was a bit bossy to her other pets, but I guess that comes with her impressive age. RIP, sassy kitty!

Do Tell: What's the Weirdest Pet You've Ever Seen?

PetSugar — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:00:34 -0700

On Friday, Martha Stewart twittered about her neighbors' newest pet: a baby Camel! Born last Thursday, this little guy can weigh around 80 pounds at birth, so I hope the proud owners have plenty of space for them to roam (and from the looks of the picture, I'd say they do).

Although camels are generally found in desert climates, this lucky guy gets to call Connecticut home for now. I've seen some strange pets in my day, from monkeys to pot bellied piggies, but never a camel! What's the strangest pet you've ever seen?

Martha Stewart's New Puppy Dies In a Propane Explosion

PetSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 04:00:03 -0700

Now that I'm on Twitter, I've been learning quite a bit about the people I'm following and, sadly, today I learned of a tragic accident. According to Martha Stewart's tweets, her new lil pup Ghenghis Khan passed away. In a "tragic propane explosion," the breeder lost 17 Chows both boarders and residents. Martha was waiting until a good time to bring the babe home from Karen Tracy and, while she didn't say there were any human fatalities, unfortunately her little puppy "perished in the blaze." We know all dogs go to heaven, and my heart goes out to Martha, the breeder, and everyone who loved those pups.

New Puppy Alert! Martha Stewart Names Genghis Khan

PetSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:15:57 -0800

Well, we've been waiting for word on which lil Chow Chow Martha Stewart would be adding to her family, and she's finally made her choice! Meet Genghis Khan, this adoro grandson of the late Paw Paw. He's just seven weeks old and the only boy in his litter (with two sisters) – I wonder if lil Sharkey and Francesca are ready for him?!

Turns out Martha waited for another litter so those pups we saw her cuddling with before (including a different pup named "Khan") have found other happy homes. Check out another cute shot of this pooch when you read more.

The Scoop: Martha Still Hasn't Picked Her Next Chow

PetSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Remember when I posted those pictures of the absolutely adoro Chow Chow pups that Martha Stewart's trying to choose from? Well, she's yet to make a decision but shared even more cute piccys on her blog . . . from when all three came to her farm for a visit!

I can't even imagine how she'll ever pick, though she's pointed out that three male chows wouldn't all survive in the same home so I guess keeping the entire trio's out of the question. Do you think you can tell which lil lion pup will join Sharkey and Francesca – look at the pictures and see for yourself!

Martha Picks One of Paw Paw's Grandpuppies!

PetSugar — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:00:41 -0700

My heart went out to Martha Stewart when she lost her beloved Chow Chow back in April. Even though she's still got those cutie-pie smooshies, Francesca and Sharkey, she's looking to add another pup to her family . . . a grandpuppy of Paw Paw! She's been sharing pictures on her blog, first when the pooches were just one day old and then when they reached five weeks. Now the three lil boys are almost ready to have happy homes at seven-and-a-half weeks, and Martha's still debating over the best addition. These lion doggies are so precious I can't imagine her picking only one, can you choose a fave?

Celeb Tip: Martha Stewart Uses Traumeel on Frenchies

PetSugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:00:33 -0700

I'd never even heard of Traumeel until PartySugar passed on this information to me: Martha Stewart, who I imagine to be like a stay-at-home MacGyver, uses an aches-and-pain ointment on her beloved smooshies, Francesca and Sharkey.
Traumeel ($13 and up) is made of natural plant and mineral ingredients and has a long list of uses from muscle aches and inflammation to bruises and burns. Hmm, are her Frenchies getting that intense of a workout that they have bow-owwies? Learn why she applies when you read more.

Martha's pampered pooches go through an extensive daily grooming treatment where she cleans them after their time outside and checks each day for ticks and other maladies. Turns out, the product also soothes the deep crevices on Francesca's nose and the thin hair on Sharkey's ears. I learn something new everyday – neat!
