Gorgeous, Paw Paw is lovely, I had two Chow's years ago and they have the most dignified but hilarious personalities. Hope to have more one day:) Rachael

What a cute video and I enjoyed looking through the pictures. The puppy picture (6th going from the bottom to the top) - is that PawPaw or a new chow puppy? Precious.

Are Chow's good with children? Do they shed a lot?

Thanks for sharing.

Dogs truely are great companions. I love the video with the dogs running through the snow. I have seven siberian huskies and they are really appreciating the large amounts of snow we have here in Maine.

Martha,
Thanks for the photos of Paw Paw, Francesca, and Sharkey as well as your other dogs. They are adorable. My two dogs watched the program and listened to Francesca and Sharkey. All of us enjoyed it immensely!

Martha,
It was such a joy to see your show with all the lovely rescue dogs! I always enjoy seeing Sharkey, Francesca and Paw Paw as well. My dog has brought so much joy and happiness to my life. I am so thrilled to see they way yours have brightened your life also! Thanks for sharing!

Trish

Paw Paw is so cute when Francesca wants to play with him; he sort of just tolerates her. Your chows were all beautiful and the Frenchies are adorable. I still have one of your old TV shows with Zu Zu in it. You called her name and she tilted her head to the side and looked right into the camera. She had such a pretty face. The dog show was so good yesterday and I look forward to next Wednesday when David Frye from Westminster will be back. Trish

Your Frenchies are just beautiful. I own a boston terrier and a pug, so I am a lover of all the squashed-faced varieties of dogs.

Sweet! I have a Lhasa apso, the same breed my family had when I was a kid. So Sparky is my third one. And just like your Chows, Lhasa apsos have a tradition of having been palace guards for Tibetan monks.

Martha,

I had a great laugh listening to your dog show yesterday evening on Sirius. I had to go online to put faces to all of the sweet, touching stories that were told about the rescue dogs. It's great, too, to see photos of your lovely dogs! They are such characters. Thank you for sharing -- love your blog!

Martha,
Thank you for bringing attention to rescue pets. I truly believe it should be illegal for anyone to purchase an animal while there are so many loving (free) pets without homes. Owning a pet should never be about pedigree or fashion, it should be about love and compassion. I'm not sure if Paw Paw, Francesca and Sharkey are rescue dogs, but Martha I'd love to see you rescue a dog or cat in the future to add to your family.

You know Martha if you put your stamp of approval on any pet product-well maybe not reptile--I would dash out and find them. Would that not be a hoot to see a pasture of horses all wearing summer sheets with your logo. My horse wouldn't mind just as long as it wasn't too girlie. Then of course we would have to have matching dog and cat coats. Too cool you are. Thanks as always.

Martha, I loved your show on dogs,
I have a very special Dog that I rescued and He rescued me. I had lost my Daughter and Husband 3 months apart from each other, needless to say was very depressed, than I rescued this little dog (socks) and he helped me out of a deep depression. We helped each other. So your love for dogs is shared deeply. Thanks for the wonderful show .

Hi Martha,
I really enjoy seeing and reading about all your pets.
I especially love your donkeys.
Like you, I can not imagine my life without my dog, Chance, a 118 lbs. Black Labrador Retriever.
No matter how good or bad my day has been, it is always wonderful when I arrive home to an eruption of excitement and love waiting for me when I open the door.
As a three-month-old puppy, I found Chance on a roadside after being hit by a car. Although his back legs were crushed, and both hip were broken, he mended extremely well with the help of very caring and talented veterinarian. He is very spoiled and much loved.
Take Care,
Jon

I had the good fortune of meeting Sharkey, Frencesca and Paw-Paw at the Good Things Event. Paw-Paw is my favourite, undoubtedly. I just get lost in those eyes!

I couldn't believe how well-behaved they all were at the event with all those people, all that noise, all that attention. I took some great photos of all the women gathering around Paw-Paw for a touch of that gorgeous coat.

Kings should be so lucky!

Martha,
I just loved the dog show! Your dogs are so beautiful! I have 2 yellow labradors (both of them were rescued) and I greatly appreciate you showcasing the rescue dogs. I wish my dogs could play in the snow!!! It looks like so much fun... but we don't get much snow down here in Texas!!! Keep up the great work with the blog! Love it!

Postee Jenn- Chows are wonderful with children if supervised we have raised chow chows in our family for over 30 years not to show them but just as members of our family. My folks have 50 grandchildren and our chows have never bothered a child in any way give your dog a lot of love and affectio, they are protectors of those they love and are fiercely loyal to your family. Raise a chow as a puppy with a child or other animals that is best. There are many chows out there that need good loving homes.
Martha & Laura- THANK YOU for posting the chow and bull dog photos I am in doggie splendor I came over to check the blog just now and was so jazzed to see chows love the one of them in the sled gotta use it on my screensaver so yup going to "borrow"Please and thank you. it and use it on my screensaver along with my own chow photos. Thank you for sharing the pix. Loved the dog show yesterday. I hope you feature more adoption shows for dogs ,cats, horses whatever so many need loving and good homes.
Paw Paw rules and Martha don't forget Dreamer(chow winner of best in class last year Westminster) has a sister you could adopt her for Paw Paw you know!

Hi Martha, I so loved your pictures of your dogs. I caught the piece today on the chimps and the efforts to save them. That sounds like an amazing show, can't wait to watch it. Are you familiar with The Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida? It is an amazing place that saves exotic large cats that have been abused or abandoned in the U.S. I know you would appreciate their work. Please go check out their website, maybe you can do a piece on them at some point. My daughter and I who live here in Erie, Pa toured their place in Tampa a few years ago while on vacation and we became huge advo"cat"s, I think you will be too. www.bigcatrescue.org

bad girl, hahahaha!!!!

Jan Erickson

Hi Martha, I love all of your TV shows but my favorites have always been those featuring your wonderful Mom and the ones about all kinds of animals, especially your dogs and cats. Being an dog rescuer, I want to thank you for encouraging others to rescue and adopt animals. Those beautiful animals deserve a much better life. I love all of the photos of your dogs and I, too, can't imagine my life without my dogs. Thanks so much for sharing. Jan

Dear Martha:
Your dogs are adorable! So cute, playing with the snow!!!

Paw Paw, we know you are too regal to ever chase the donkeys. The little Frenchies will learn. We still want to grow up to be Chows, we envy the black tongue! Continue guarding your home, we defend the Montana front. Your dachshound fans.

Rebekka

I loved the dog show so much. In fact, am so enamored by Paw Paw I am considering getting a chow myself...he is so adorable!
