<p>[Martha</a> Stewart’s dog dies - CNN.com](<a href=“http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/16/marthastewarts.dog.ap/index.html?iref=mpstoryview]Martha”>http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/16/marthastewarts.dog.ap/index.html?iref=mpstoryview)</p>
<p>This is a national news story? I kept looking on CNN yesterday for any report of the multiple bombings in Iraq (which I read about on the BBC) but never found anything. But obviously *this *is important news. Sheesh.</p>
<p>Oprah’s cocker spaniel’s death was news worthy, too:rolleyes:</p>
<p>All dog tails at half-mast…</p>
<p>Her dog died?! Oh, how very sad! I feel so very very bad for her. She must be devastated. </p>
<p>Oprah’s dog was news too, you know.

<p>Now there’s a great TV show in the making: “Dogs of the Rich and Famous.” Quick, let’s rush it to air before someone else does!</p>
<p>Kind of put’s me in my place in the scheme of life. I could die and it would not make the news - unless some celebrities dog killed me - and then people would remember the dogs name not mine. Oh well I truly would not want to be rich and famous. Just Rich would be good though.</p>
<p>I do feel sad for her. I know when my dog dies I was heartbroken. But news?</p>
<p>Oh, the humanity! I mean, caninity! (sp?)</p>
<p>I feel badly for her losing her pet but I can’t stand Martha.
Will she spray paint the dead dog gold and put it in her garden?</p>
<p>there should be a national holiday in which we all honor her passed away pooch…</p>
<p>Oh dear! What a newsworthy item, indeed. But check out the links at the top of the page under “Hot Topics” >> Harry Potter, American Idol, Madonna, Brittney Spears, more topics>></p>
<p>Attention kids: If you are studying to become a journalist, this is the kind of reporting you should never, ever do. (Or we will ask for our tuition money back).</p>
<p>Thumper1, I am thinking maybe she’ll prepare a nice stuffing & let him watch over her front door forevermore. After all, JD & Turk enjoy their perpetual pet, Rowdy!</p>
<p>Hey – at least they included the important information:</p>
<p>“Dog’s full name was Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow”</p>
<p>seriously – what was she smoking when she named the dog?</p>
<p>My mother gives all her dogs the middle name “J.” and won’t say what it stands for and then says Doggy-Woggy is the last name… lol</p>
<p>well the dog was probably a purebred and registered.
My dog is a purebred and so her name is very long & it indicates her lineage and the the breeder.</p>
<p>Maybe she didn’t name it. We had a pedigree lab years ago - her kennel name was something like Ardmargha Juniper berry - we called her Bonny.</p>

<p>Alan Alda wrote a book called, “Never Have Your Dog Stuffed.” Apparently when his childhood dog died his parents had it stuffed (in a misguided effort to lessen the blow) but the dog ended up looking snarly and vicious instead of like the sweet-natured dog that he was.</p>
<p>My favorite Yahoo headline today was something about a 13-year old boy who set some kind of record for blowing up balloons with his NOSE. Slow news day or what?</p>
<p>maysixxmom, maybe I’m very tired but that made me truly laugh out loud! Thanks for the smile. :)</p>
