Three adorable puppies came to visit me!

I am bumping this post up since it was featured this evening on USA Today's entertainment blog (make sure to "BUZZ" this story upwards!) For the new people just coming to take a look, make sure to check out all of these adorable photos as well as the rest of my blog.

Paw Paw's grandsons came to visit my farm for the first time. I am supposed to choose.
Come have a look!

Who to choose? How to choose? Here they are -- No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 chow chows. They came to visit with co-owner Karen Tracy from Pazzazz Chow in Pennsylvania. Look how adorable they are, and how comfortable they are atop the servery counter. Welcome to cute overload territory once again!

They loved the Kawasaki ride just as much as the Frenchies and Paw Paw. They are like really cute stuffed teddy bears.

Gnawing, teething -- it's the same thing at this early age -- a tree wire stake was the perfect place to sharpen those canines.

Carlos, my driver and pet sitter, came to see the babies -- he loved Paw Paw so much and he, of course, wanted me to get all three puppies.

For some reason, I think I am favoring the puppy on the right.

But, maybe the puppy in the center?

Oh, but maybe the puppy on the left?

Realistically, if I took all three puppies, it just wouldn't work. Three male chows would fight it out until the end.

Here's a great picture of all of us.  Whenever I pose with these puppies, I feel happy!

Yawn -- the babies are getting a bit tired of all the attention.

Wow!

I love these bundles of joy.

Look at this boy sniffing around the cat food containers -- all chows seem to love dried cat food.

He's getting bolder and is climbing up onto the shelf!

He's trying his hardest to open the container.

This chow loved Francesca and Sharkey's stuffed toy.

Look at the coloration and the large paws!

A sly look.

What a very cute dog!

A stuffed goldfish doesn't have a chance in the jaws of a chow!

But then, a stuffed teddy is of some interest.

Martha - Please don't disappointment me and only take one, they need each other and you need all 3 of them..... Don't give me that crap about 3 males fighting, properly trained (which you will do) they'll all get along fine. They are the cutest puppies and you look very happy with them. TAKE ALL THREE!!!!!!

[suemare]

I don't know what to tell you. They are all so sweet. I am sure you will make the right choice. Keep us posted!

[Amy in Houston]

Martha, I got a feelin' you're goin to end up with all three, but if not, about the only way to choose is the old fashioned way: "Eeeny, meeny, miney, MO."
It's very scientific!

Adorable x 3! The middle chow with his paw out looks like such a regal pose, I choose that one!

[Karen Tracy]

Martha.
I love the picture where the puppy has his head resting on the orange toy. How cute is that?

[Beth]

I like the one on the right. Yawning like a little baby. All are adorable though. Good luck with your choice!! Hey, I have got a solution...get your daughter to choose for you!!

[Kevin]

Oh, Martha, how on earth can you choose just one? They couldn't be more adorable!

Kevin

[Betty]

They're beautiful! That would be a really tough choice.

[TGL]

The first pic would make a wonderful magazine cover :)

Oh my gosh, that is the most adorable thing ever! Feel free to send one those cutie pies over here to TEXAS:) My boys (who are 12 & 14) have been wanting a new dog!!

[LINDA FREDETTE]

My sister and I have been viewing these pictures sent you first posted them. They are adorable! I don't know how you can choose. You are in a position to take all 3. They all have different personalities just like children you can enjoy each one for what they each have to offer. Good luck! We will continue to visit your website and look at the pictures.

[Nan Ashby]

It shows in your pictures how good loving one or all of these puppies would be for you. They are adorable. Hope you decide for yourself the right choice to make. This is a decision that will be part of your life for the next 12 or so years. Keep us in touch with whatever you decide. Nan

[Paula]

You look wonderful, full of life and joy. I am certain which ever puppy you choose all will be right with the animal kingdom. Congratulations!

[Jenny B. from Sycamore, IL]

Oh Martha!! You have a very difficult decision ahead of you. They are all SO cute, I just can't stand it! I've said all along you should just take all 3, but you have a good point about 3 male chows in the house. That would be tough. I love the one on the right of the picture posted just below Carlos...

[Julie]

Charles Schulz was so right. "Happiness IS a warm puppy." They are absolutely adorable! There is no doubt one of those little guys will bring you such joy, Martha.

[Sonje Rogers]

Oh Martha, your absolutely glowing. The puppies are such cutie patooties. Impossible to pick just one, LOL I think its great your bringing them into your home and getting to know them. I can't wait til we see which one is becoming a new member of your family

Martha, they are all so adorable! Maybe you should ask your other 'paws' to pick or, take them all home!
I'll send you my book, PET E.R. GUIDE (A Directory of 24-Hour and After-Hour Veterinary Facilities in the United States), it is a book in response to traveling with our paws and not being able to find veterinary help after normal business hours. Now, that is a book you WON'T want to leave home without it as you add to your family.
May all of your pets always be happy and healthy and full of fun! They bring us 'pet parents' such joy!!!
Happy Trails and Happy Tails!

I have a Paw Paw granddaughter and a great grandson and great granddaughter. The puppies are wonderful and I know how hard it is going to be for you to select just one. BTW, I have two boys (littermates) who run together all the time and I've never had a problem with them fighting!! They are almost 3 now, for what that's worth!!!

[Roderick]

I would not be able to make a decision on which puppy..they all melt my heart. I am sure which every puppy you select, IT will be loved like your beloved Paw Paw..

[happyathome]

Oh my goodness they look like stuffed animals! How can you choose!

[faye carlyle]

those puppies are more than adorable, but i understand when you say they would fight. i have two female dogs that were abandoned in my neighborhood which the vets tell me are part chow. they were together about two years and would sometime get in little fights and then right after easter of this year one of them tried to kill the other one. We were at the vets everyweek for six weeks before they would even stitch the long gash on lady's shoulder. Watching a dog fight is a horrific experience. I was lucky i had a neighbor with a fence where i could keep her while i was at work and until I split my fenced in back yard with a chain link and wood fence where they can not even see each other. I love both my dogs but it has been a real problem keeping them away from each other. i know it will be hard picking one, but the others i know will have wonderful homes with people what will give them undivided attention, too.

Of all the pictures I've seen of you, I have never seen you look so happy as you do in these. You're beaming from the bottom of your toes.

[Sally]

Martha, being a dog mom suits you perfectly!!
These are the most beautiful photos of you and that's because you are crazy happy.
Bonding with dogs is the coziest place on Earth!!!
Which one to choose? Does it matter? Every dog that is well cared for and loved to a gushy extreme is going to be a great dog!
Your obvious joy has made my day a little happier too.
Thanks!!

[Kathleen McCue]

Ah yes, I see the next magazine cover as well!

I enjoyed the heck out of these photos. They are darling!

[Jen]

Oh my goodness they just keep getting more adorable with every post. I don't know how you'll ever be able to choose just one!
