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.
TALK ABOUT CUTE OVERLOAD!
I CANNOT STAND IT!!!!
So adorable!

What an impossible task!!! They are absolutely adorable!! And Martha you are just glowing around them! I have no suggestions on this one. I wish I could hug them though.

OMG!!! How are you going to decide?! You may as well just draw a number from a hat - what does it matter?! You can't go wrong. They are all so insanely cute!!!!!!!
Posted by: Annie | August 12th, 2008 at 12:35 am
All are the cutest pups I have ever seen. How could you ever choose? Good luck and enjoy Martha!
Posted by: ChasInMaine | August 12th, 2008 at 12:40 am
Hi Martha, WOW! OH! AH! How absolutely precious these three babies are! You look so happy holding them! I can't stop smiling and Ohing and Ahing so I can only imagine how you must feel actually cuddling these precious babies. Now the job of chosing just one. OOH, that will be one tough decision. Did the girls get to meet them yet? Maybe their presence will help you decide. This is one fantastic blog! I can't stop smiling and now my jaws hurt! Thank you so very much for sharing these happy, special moments. Jan

Seeing all those cute puppies makes me want to get a new one too, but I don't think my two year old German Shepherd would be very happy, he's very much a Mama's boy. Personally I would choose the adventurous one who was climbing on the shelf, but that's only because my dog climbs on shelves/counters/chairs/me/anything available. It really is a tough decision though, they're all so precious, you could try what my Mom does to choose, she sit down and let's the puppies come to her and whoever is first is who she chooses. I didn't have to make a choice luckily, my dog was the only sable male of the litter and that's exactly what I wanted. Good luck choosing Martha, please post some more pictures, especially when you have made a decision!

There is no way to choose between the three of them. They're IMPOSSIBLY cute. All for one and one for all. I think they had you as soon as they laid down on that counter!
I also love how one of them always looks sleepy in the triplet shots!
Posted by: Rachel | August 12th, 2008 at 1:01 am
they are all so sweet! one of them seems to have perfect ears! I can believe it would be hard to pick the pick of the litter with these three!
Posted by: cheri | August 12th, 2008 at 1:01 am
It's like Christmas in August with all of these puppies. They are beautiful.

I'm more for adopting pets from shelters but they're so cunning and adorable! How can you choose? Let two be picked by someone else first and take the one left over? Are they all dog show-worthy? At least each will go to a good home so, happy ending.
Posted by: Julie W. | August 12th, 2008 at 1:56 am
Are these the most precious puppies ever! Thanks for all the pictures & good luck picking the new member of the family. I can hardly wait to see how Francesa & Sharkey welcome their new brother...I hope the decision will be soon!!
Posted by: Lori | August 12th, 2008 at 2:01 am
And they called it Puppy Love ... looks like you have an incurable disease... Puppy love so tell Lilly it's going wild for awhile but also
fun!
I'm trying to come for a show on the 25th of sept. fingers crossed as
I've bought the flight !!!!
Happy Belated Martha,

Wow, they are cute! Great pictures.
Posted by: Kyle | August 12th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Beautiful, just beautiful. I had'nt thought about three males clashing as they get older. I guess one will always want to be 'top dog'. I love the urns you have on your counter tops by the way. Thanks Martha for some great pictures to start my day.

I do not envy you this choice at all. But how delightful that you were able to have this day with all three! They look so amiable and content. I'm sure they were told to be on their best behavior! ;D
Posted by: Marie | August 12th, 2008 at 3:00 am
which one will you take?! they all are so adorable! seriously, how can you choose among these 3? they are the cutest, fluffiest thing on earth!
i have been having chow-chows all my life, too. right now i have a 10-year old that i saved from the dog pound and he's the love of my life
Posted by: francesca | August 12th, 2008 at 3:53 am
Oh My Gosh!!!!!! How in the world do you choose????? They are the most beautiful little ones I have ever seen!! TAKE ALL THREE!!! Mo , Curly and Larry!! Whatever your decision..that little guy will have an excellent home and always be loved. Congratulations!!!
Posted by: Shirley Hawksby | August 12th, 2008 at 5:50 am
Martha you look so happy with the puppies. You are beaming with pure joy. Did the puppies meet Sharkey and Francesca? You have a very hard decision to make, good luck. Which ever one you pick will surely be one lucky little guy as you can see how much you love them puppies.
Posted by: Robin | August 12th, 2008 at 6:07 am
Hi Martha!! If I was to chose, I would do some things that you used to do with Paw Paw and which ever one acts the way he did towards certain objects or activities would be the one!!
Posted by: Paula | August 12th, 2008 at 6:14 am
These are absolutely the best pictures of you. You look great!!!
Good luck on your decision. He will be a lucky dog indeed.

How Cute these Chows are. The choice will certainly be a difficult one for you. I am glad I do not have to make the decision!
I will look forward to seeing which one you choose as I am sure as soon as your new television season starts, you will not waste anytime showing him off to the viewers and possibly asking them to help choose his name.

You do look very happy with them. Here's an idea. Tie a different color ribbon on each puppy. Snip the ends of the ribbon and put it in a hat and draw the one that's meant to be. Gosh, they do look really cute. I would get all three but I think you are right though, once they mature, the fighting will be endless.
Posted by: ShopLIttleGifts | August 12th, 2008 at 6:37 am
It's nice to see how exuberantly happy these puppys obviously make you! The right (not the one at the right, necessarily) one will choose you (if that makes it any easier). I'm sure you're looking for clues for its choice. Maybe the one with Carlos? Or the one with the sly look?
Posted by: Darryl Moland | August 12th, 2008 at 6:41 am
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!!!!!!
Posted by: Ann | August 12th, 2008 at 6:46 am
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!
Posted by: suemare | August 12th, 2008 at 6:57 am
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!

Martha.
I love the picture where the puppy has his head resting on the orange toy. How cute is that?
Posted by: Karen Tracy | August 12th, 2008 at 7:08 am
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!!
Posted by: Beth | August 12th, 2008 at 7:10 am
Oh, Martha, how on earth can you choose just one? They couldn't be more adorable!

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.
Posted by: LINDA FREDETTE | August 12th, 2008 at 7:27 am
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
Posted by: Nan Ashby | August 12th, 2008 at 7:30 am
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!
Posted by: Paula | August 12th, 2008 at 7:52 am
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...
Posted by: Jenny B. from Sycamore, IL | August 12th, 2008 at 7:59 am
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.
Posted by: Julie | August 12th, 2008 at 8:09 am
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
Sunny
Posted by: Sonje Rogers | August 12th, 2008 at 8:27 am
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!!!

Oh my goodness they look like stuffed animals! How can you choose!
Posted by: happyathome | August 12th, 2008 at 8:39 am
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.

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!!

In a previous blog one dog seemed to have a regal stance. That one seems like the one for you Martha. Or you can have the dogs spread out over your different houses. Then you will get to keep them all.

Posted by: danielle | August 12th, 2008 at 9:31 am
I don't think we can advise you from seeing their pictures. They are all adorable. . . and they look so alike! I think you need to pick the one with the best personality. A pet owner always knows which animal he or she bonds best with. So you choose the one that is meant for you. . . and only you can know that. Then show us lots more pictures!!! Good luck and much happiness with whichever pup you pick!
Posted by: Anne | August 12th, 2008 at 9:38 am
My vote is for the use of three different color ribbons as suggested above. You look so
happy and just glowing- an undeniable proof that you are a
puppy/dog lover like most of us
your fans. Please keep us
posted and more pictures once you
made your choice. Good luck!

M, I have 2 boys (dogs) that r the best of friends, in fact they adore each other, they r mischievous, though, ur choosing good breeding and 4 personality, think they could live together in harmony, worse case u might have 2 place an unruly puppy (not a difficult task) with someone else, good luck making an impossible selection. great photos, tks

Posted by: Pilar | August 12th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Those are the cutest balls of fluff I have EVER seen! Good luck with the picking, I don't know how you're going to decide! I'd want them all!
Posted by: Wendy | August 12th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Martha, You must get all three.
Don't break up the family. You
have room, lots of love to give them and people who can lovingly
care for them when you aren't there. How about it?
I'll be checking in to see your
decision. Your smile is so
infectious in the photo with the
growing pups.
We always called our dogs
"Puppers" when they were with us!!!

Hi Martha,
I can't believe how big they have gotten and so much cuter too now that they're getting into things! You look very happy with them. Do any of them behave like Paw Paw did when he was a pup? Only you, the mama, would remember. That might be the one you choose but I don't think you can make a wrong choice. I love cuddly little furry animals, all of them! I'm glad I'm not the one who has to choose. Trish
Posted by: Trish | August 12th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Wonderful exchange of the powerful love energy! You could neuter two and keep one intact. That way, you could keep all three.
Posted by: Zigrid | August 12th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Martha they are getting more beautiful by the day!!! I am so excited for you but don't envy the decision making process....each one will pull at your heartstrings in a different way!
I have a soft spot for the one with the long legs but it's because he looks like many of our own chows who are his direct relatives..very "European" in type.
I agree about not keeping 3 boys and even more crucial is just keeping 3 littermates together at all.
We have found that when we keep littermates, unless they are kept in separate quarters for a lot of the time during the first 9 months or so, they tend to bond too much to one another and become "dog dogs"...more pack oriented, and not as much "people dogs"
I am so tickled seeing my grandbabies as they grow. You look so incredibly happy in those photos and the puppies so relaxed and at home. Kudos to the breeder for her great socializing and upbringing!!!

I don't think I have ever seen a photo of you looking more joyous and happy. If you have to choose just one, do it in the dark. Then the first one you pick up, will be your new baby.

Martha,
One of your greatest editorials was the story of how you lost an older dog when you brought a young one in. That remains with me everytime I read or see someone debating the selection of a new dog. You really do understand the importance of the "pack" mentality and I do as well because you explained how it can fatally work.
I can not express how valuable that story/experience is to me. Thanks.

Pure Rapture!!! Oh, Martha ... I have never seen you so happy!! The puppies are absolutely adorable and I certainly don't envy the undoubtedly difficult and heart-wrenching decision that you will soon be making. I'm sure your loving heart (and perhaps a little "spiritual nudge" from "Paw-Paw" above) will help to guide you. Again, thank you (as always) for sharing this (and many other) special and beautiful personal moments with us! Have a wonderful summer's end!
Best,

You STILL haven't chosen?? Martha! It's not like you to procrastinate!
Try this:
Eenie, meanie, minie, moe
Catch a chow-chow by the toe
If he hollars, let him go
Eenie, meanie, minie, moe.
And then call him Moe.

It's good to see you smile. It brightens my day. The chow-chows definitely bring out your inner joy. Have they met your other dogs? Maybe the one you should choose is the one that gets along with the others. =)
Posted by: sushi2 | August 12th, 2008 at 11:51 am
Oh my gosh they are all so very cute!! What a grand time you had with them; there's nothing like spending time with puppies! Have you made your decision? This is so exciting!
Posted by: Sherry | August 12th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Hi, Martha~
Maybe Francesca and Sharkey can help you choose. Can they play with the pups and you can watch their interactions?
Have fun,

Good Luck

If you have to choose, then #3. But all three would be the best, because you look soooooo happy with all three.

Dear Martha,
I just happened to click on the blog that told of Paw Paw's passing and I am still crying for your loss. I then clicked here to see these adorable puppies. I had a chow once and you are right in that they won't get along in the future.
I have been trying for sometime to submit an idea for a product for you and Emeril. Is there a chance of getting an address or e-mail to corresponde with you? Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your pet. I am a real lover of dogs and loosing one is so hard. Best Wishes to you and your new puppy.Thank You. Karen Sipes, Phoenix, Arizona
Posted by: Karen Sipes | August 12th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Oh my goodness the puppies are so cute and adorable. Martha, you should go with the puppy that was getting into the cat food; that one seems to be very comfortable. A few years a go I found four abandon puppies and I wasn't able to keep them all, so I kept the one that seemed most comfortable in my house and he was the only one to get into the cat food. Today, he's the best dog I've ever had. His name is Midnight and he watches your show with my mom and I every morning. We all love you. Good luck with choosing a new addition to your family:]

Cute little guys, good luck choosing! What's with the Kitty Crack?
Posted by: Nina | August 12th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Dear Martha,
There's only one answer...love all three and take them home. I've loves and owned a dozen Great Danes over the past thirty years. At one time, I had three males and three females in the house at the same time...and never had a problem (well, trying to get into bed if they got to it first could get tricky). THen, about eight years ago I was dating a man who had inherited a 4 year-old miniature poodle from his 94 year-old father. Well, the son was no dog lover, so when we called it off, "Amadeus" came home with me. Believe me, I was the winner. Then I decided after I lost my last Dane, that
Ami" needed a friend. I heard of a litter with 3 male miniature poodles and went to see them. Well then I thought I should probably get two of the puppies or "Ami" might bully just one. Well, then the qeustion became, if I take two "which one do I leave behind?". You guessed it, "Jax", "MacGyver" and "Jelly Bean" all came home with me. The five of us have never regretted it.
Posted by: manedane | August 12th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Get all three! Admit it, you've bonded with them now...so what if they have trouble with 3 males?!?....you DO have help around to deal with that, and YOU can deal with all of the hugs and kisses!!! DO it!
Posted by: Gilda Stigliano | August 12th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Martha,
Three males together --you know that it can be done with minimal effort. I have two males together and they can't leave each other's side. TAKE ALL THREE AND HAVE A GREAT TIME
Posted by: Mary | August 12th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
The puppy on the far right is always yawning in the pictures. He must feel loved and at home. Good luck with your decision. I really do think it would be best to choose one, because when you have three, there will be one that will probably be your favorite. Nan Again
Posted by: Nan Ashby | August 12th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Hi Martha,
You look so happy with the puppies! I think maybe you'll have to consider keeping all 3. The one on the right that you favor sits and lays a lot like Paw Paw did. It's so nice to keep up with you when the show is in hiatus. Will you have pictures of Iceland soon? Looking forward to the new season. Have Rosie on to start the season-you 2 are great together!
Posted by: John In Phoenix | August 12th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Simple
Heres's how you pic one Martha
Eeny meeny miny mo
Pick a chow chow by his toe
If he hollers let him go

Posted by: Jane Levy | August 12th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
When I wrote an earlier comment I did not know that keeping three males would not be a good idea.
Got caught up in the "cuteness"
thing!!!
So I am changing my previous suggestion to choosing one, the
right and only one, not three. I stand corrected. I wish you well in YOUR final decision.
Thanks for the opportunity given
to all of us who choose to blog
and put in our two cents worth.

How will you ever decide?? They are amazingly cute. And will grow up to be just as adorable as Paw Paw. I want one too
Posted by: Sues | August 12th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Martha,
It feels so good to see that so many people posted to your blog on how happy you look in those pictures. I got to see that happiness in person and I was so glad that the puppies were able to do that for you. Carlos was beaming. He could not stop smiling. All in all, it was "a good thing".
Karen
Posted by: Karen Tracy | August 12th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Although, all puppies are extremely irresistible and lovable, our "intuitive reason" reveals that the puppy #3 as pictured on the photographs 6 and 8 is the ONE! He appears to be more docile and therefore should be more receptive to being taught, willing to be led or directed by a loving caregiver; he probably will respond more meekly and without protest to redirection, and make friends easier with the other pets.
Just a suggestion from your friends from MA.
Kind regards,
Dorothy & Carolyn
Posted by: Dorothy and Carolyn | August 12th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
I would choose the smallest one. I am always for the under-dog...no pun intented.
Posted by: Gloria Herring | August 13th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Martha...they are the cutest!! I don't know how you could chose between them. When you said about three males fighting, I didn't realize if they were raised together that this would happen. Am I mistaken, I thought some years back that you had more than one chow at Turkey Hill. Did you have a problem with them?
Posted by: Sandi | August 13th, 2008 at 1:38 am
Puppy won't fight if you properly train them. I love all of those cuddly little teddy bears. I wish I can choose like you. Just get all 3 and love them all. They will get along fine with proper care & training. OMG, Karen is such a good breeder.
Posted by: Gigi | August 13th, 2008 at 2:20 am
They are beautiful dogs! Why dont you try them out(one by one)in front of your other dogs to see who combines the best way? Good luck! Sincerely, Synøve(Nova) Fougner from Norway(Scandinavia)
Posted by: Nova | August 13th, 2008 at 4:11 am

I know you will give one of Karen's pups a very loving home.

Take all the pictures you can take and enjoy.

I would still get all three. How could you split them apart?! Too cute!
Posted by: Erin Nusbaum | August 13th, 2008 at 8:10 am
They are all so cute and I would take all three if they would get along. But since you say the males are prone to fighting then I would let Francesa & Sharkey decide. Let them loose with all three pups and the one that interacts the best would be the best one for your little dog family! Good luck!
Posted by: Sandra May | August 13th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Martha, what a wonderful birthday gift...to adopt one of those beautiful chow chows! They look like fuzzy little brown teddy bears! Completely huggable!
Posted by: Dusti | August 13th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Martha,
Oh my how sweet and cute. I couldn't stop smiling at the photos. You look so happy in them too. As the saying goes..."There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face." Your 'face' says it all!!
I had 7 Yorkshire terriers at one time. Yes, I have problems today with two brothers who fight, and fought with the deceased Father. Pack fighting is horrible because they all want to be the "Alpha-dog" and that is why they fight. Maybe you can take the three but split them up in your homes? Didn't Paw Paw or one of your Chows not get along with Princess Woo?
All in all, good luck choosing. I know whichever you chose will have the most wonderful life with you!
By the way...if you don't take all three...let me know, I'll take one!
Many cute bear hugs to the pups,
Paula M.

I agree with you, Martha...these puppies bring such joy! They can't help but soothe the soul, and it is eminent on your glowing, smiling face!

I think the one on the right looks more like PawPaw, and the one on the left looks like a lion cub (in the pictures of them after the picture of Carlos).
Posted by: Karli | August 13th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Hi Martha,
How fortunate to be able to have one of Paw Paw's grandsons. You are a true animal person. The joy on your face is unmistakable.
Posted by: Betty Young | August 13th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
OMG martha I can't beleive your not going to take all three.....well if you have to choose one you should choose the one trying to open the dried cat food container.
Posted by: wendy age nine | August 13th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
3 males will be fine if NEUTERED. Please spay and neuter your dogs. If you neuter the males they will not fight. Also it is exercise that dogs need to be mentally well. You have the space for them to be active and behaviors that can manifest into aggression will not be present!! get all 3!!!
Posted by: amy jo | August 13th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Miss Martha
These babies remind me so much of my own chow chow. Her name is Zoe and she is just over three years old. She is still just as adorable now as she was when she was a pup. These beautiful darlings remind me so much of her when she was a baby.
Good luck in choosing...I wouldn't want to have to. And as always, keep doing what you do.
Posted by: Patricia | August 14th, 2008 at 1:03 am
Martha looks absolutely glowing and happy with the puppies. Nice to see you with such a genuine, beaming smile. Obviously, this means you need to get all three puppies.
Posted by: OOPart | August 14th, 2008 at 2:28 am
Wow...they are so adorable. Can't you keep all of them. They look so sweet together. I believe they can make you happy all the time.

Pick up one quickly! We know that this dog changes our lives!

I agree with you - this does seem like an impossible decision. They are all SO cute. What a treat to have one of PawPaw's grandpups! Can't wait to see which one you pick.
PS - I love how happy you look in these pictures - the puppies just make you laugh!

All 3 puppies are fabulous. Only one though. Go for temperament. They will fight for position. 3 males could actually kill each other and hurt anyone trying to interfere. Good luck.
Posted by: Josie Young | August 14th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Hi Martha,
The concern you have is valid but what if you do take all three, then hire the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan, to come and train all three to get along and not fight until the end. Just a thought.
He seems to be a miracle worker with all breeds! Especially with agressive dogs.
If not....good luck in choosing. They are all so cute!

Martha, I have an elderly chow who is technically a cream. He is pale red with white points and his name is Tai Chi. I will be facing the loss of him soon as he is 14 yrs old and showing it. It will break my heart to lose him but in time I will definitely get another. They are great dogs! Could you recommend a good breeder who produces puppies with outstanding laid back personalities as well as good conformation. I send my condolences on the loss of Paw Paw. Only another chow friend can understand the loss of these beautiful dogs. Donna Sharples
Posted by: Donna Sharples | August 15th, 2008 at 3:42 am
Is this puppy going to show like PawPaw did? Wasn't he one of the top chows in the country at one time? I seem to like the one in the center the most but that could be because he is beside such cuteness it is rubbing off more on him. To me they all look like they should win Best in Show at Westminster but I think that about all the chows.
Posted by: Michelle | August 15th, 2008 at 11:56 am
MARTHA YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF THE

YOU ARE THE BEST
Posted by: dorothy | August 15th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Hi Martha,
Paw Paw would be so proud!
Now to the real question of which one to pick if you really cannot take all 3. Well I would pick out a name for the puppy, you probably have the official name with papers right. Once you have picked out the final name, take the puppies around the house and see who comes to the name more often and with comfort. There will a certain amount of Zen present. You will find the natural answer. Kind of like it was ment to be.
Also try to have people very close to you maybe adopt the others, you will be able to see them often and you and the dogs will not have a separation.
Good Luck
Sue

Posted by: Linda | August 16th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Dear Martha,
I was so happy to see the new photos of the gang. I had wanted to suggest to you that Sharkey and Francesca choose which adorable pup they want to adopt; perhaps meeting them individually, since these three pups are so delicious and difficult for we humans to make that type of decision; but you have already thought of this and put it into action.
I would love to have an "Ask Martha" private moment, if you are willing.
I have moved into Maine, with my 25 year old son, Bert, in pursuit of MOFGA organization's opportunity to learn and work on the land to produce foods.
I am 63 years old and you have my information on my Bio page. Bert is a bright young man (four out of five years on the dean's list, bilingual, with some experience with organic farming, wolf refuge, Student dean, and teaching who wants to learn (from the ground up)Four Season growing. He would like to become a farm manager and realizes this takes experience and time.
So here is the question. His last name is Goldman and in Maine, this seems to be a problem(unspoken, of course). Because we are seeking employment as a pair, he has been judged as being gay and with the owners that we are speaking with, this is a bigger problem.
We are willing to work for room and board with a salary when we become more valuable. Our combined backgrounds make us a valuable pair, but with the prejudice mentioned abovewe have not been seen for what we are worth.
We desire to stay at one farm for a series of seasons to learn how things work and fit together. We have been met with migrant type of housing and hiring for a short season with no returns.
What do you suggest we do? Do we move out of Maine and its organic wealth of resouces because of our unique pairing or do we change our approach? Do you know of any farms that are looking for cooks, cleaners, labor, landscaping, child care, barn muckers, gardeners, students, and animal keepers who wish to learn more about each and are willing to put in a lot of hard work?
Thank you for your time,
Margaret
Posted by: margaret Haynes | August 16th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
My suggestion is to pick the one that will get along best with your other two dogs and then find friends or co-workers who can adopt the other two (probably separate people). That way you could still visit them and bring yours to visit his brothers.
My in-laws have the brothers of my two girls and they visit each other frequently
Posted by: Ann James | August 17th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
I'm a Frenchie owner and personally can't imagine owning anything but a French Bulldog. But I have to say, the photos of these chows are so incredibly sweet! I'm in love. The photo of the puppies on the marble pastry table is priceless.
Posted by: Eileen | August 18th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Oh my,
I got a little choked up on this one, Martha, knowing that these are Paw Paw's grandsons. How lovely. I don't know how you will ever choose!! You look so positively happy in each picture. Can't wait to see which one you decide to keep!
Posted by: Desiree | August 18th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Martha,
My advice is to let Sharkey and Francesca choose the new puppy!
Introducing a new dog into the pack would be a great topic for your program. I enjoy and appreciate when you have animal experts on the show. Wendy
Posted by: Wendy Mac | August 18th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
WOW! Talk about cute! In our family, Welsh Corgi pups and lab pups get the "super cute" treatment. I would be interested to know how well chow chow's do on a farm though? They have such beautiful fur! We have short haired puppies in our family because it is much easier to keep them clean on our farm!
Take all three Martha!
Posted by: Kate Rineer | August 18th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

I also think you should consider the pup with characteristics like Paw Paw. You'll enjoy watching him grow and become the adorable chow that Paw Paw was. All three are beautiful, and I know your decision will be difficult. I agree with many of the bloggers on how happy you appear and also how peaceful you seem to be. I enjoy and appreciate all your good works.

Way too much of a cute overload! I don't know how you'll choose either. You'll just have to go with your gut instinct. I want one. Wish my husband liked dogs! Thanks for sharing the pics.
Posted by: Katrina | August 20th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Oh Martha how cute they are and you look so happy holding and cuddling them. What a hard choice. How are you going to decide?
Posted by: Judy | August 20th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
You made my evening. Just wanted to see what you were doing, and WOW, what a gift to see you with the puppies. Anxious to see you and your new puppy after you decide. Love to see you so happy with them.
Posted by: Donna | August 20th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
I could never choose just one. Why not take all three of them. I know I probably would.
Posted by: Mary | August 20th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Couldn't you get all three and keep each at different homes?
Posted by: Mary Rose | August 21st, 2008 at 8:24 am
Which one did you choose?? All 3 - All 3!!!!
Posted by: be the change | August 21st, 2008 at 10:10 am
I don't know how you will choose. Each of them is equally adorable! What an impossible task! I would probably pick the one that would let me snuggle him most. You just can't go wrong with a snuggle bunny pup.

Martha, you are so beautiful - you can see pure joy in your eyes/face - everything about you -I think puppies make you pretty darn happy, wot do you think? Smile. Yes, they are fab!!! xxx I adore you AND them!!!
Posted by: Renee | August 21st, 2008 at 12:12 pm
THX FOR MAKING MY DAY START W/A SMILE!! THESE FUZZY PUPS R SOO CUTE..PICK THE ONE THAT LETS U SCRATCH HIS TUMMY!! OR THE ONE THAT GIVES U THE BEST KISSES SO U HAVE THAT TO WELCOME U HOME!!!~
Posted by: KATHLEEN | August 22nd, 2008 at 10:38 am
THEY ARE SO CUTE YOU JUST WANT TO CUDDLE WITH THEM. I GUESS IF YOU DONT KEEP ALL 3 AND YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE 1. THEN THINK WHICH ONE HAS A PERSONALITY THAT FITS YOU .LOOK AT IT AS YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A MAN. HAHAHA. BEST OF LUCK. THEY ALL ARE CUTE.
Posted by: SISSY | August 22nd, 2008 at 10:08 pm
m.s. i would choose the one who loved the toy of your present doggies. that means they would love and get along well with the other dogs i think. the one who was the climber would probably be a hand full. but choose the one who really takes to you the most. i would love one. or all. too bad they all wouldn't get along. you have got to choose at all odds one though and can't let one slip thru your hands. remember, they are a decendant of paw paw, and that's what's most important. they are adorable. all of them. i love dogs, but preferr to have a cat in my home i guess. cleaner too. if i didn't have to clean up after a dog, i would get about five of them. good luck and send out pictures of which one you chose. thanks it put a smile on me for the first time this week seeing all the dogs with you.
Posted by: linda goodwillie | August 23rd, 2008 at 3:16 am
Such gorgeous pics of you with those handsome little teddy bears Martha! Yo look absolutely radiant in the company of those puppies. I'm sure Paw Paw is smiling down on you with love.
I think you should take all three and have them neutered
) If Cesar Milan can have a whole pack of (previously problem) doggies living together, then I'm sure you, Francesca and Sharkey can adopt the three babies without any problems.
Ask Cesar for some help if you are not sure, but don't let any of those gorgeous boys escape you!
Best wishes, looking forward to hearing how you solve your dilemma.
Posted by: Kim | August 23rd, 2008 at 8:25 am
Ohhh Martha, how is the world do you choose? This little guys are so upon the lastest puppy cuteness fashion that there is. My little girl (Miss Ginger) is going on 9 yrs old. My son found her in a ditch in WVa. She was only about 3-4 weeks old. We didn't think she would make it. Now it is hard to think that she is getting old. I know I will have to go though what you did one day. I pray I don't have to make your choice though. THAT would be sooooooo hard....lol....You look so happy with these little guys!!!! Good Luck and God Bless

Posted by: Diane LL Wichman | August 24th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Speaking from experience, there is nothing cuter than a Chow-Chow puppy. You are right about getting all three, no matter how obviously tempting, it would be impossible. Also, getting three siblings might inhibit them from bonding well with you. You are in for a touch decision, I'm afraid. But, what a happy one!
Posted by: Pamela | August 24th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Hi Martha,
These puppies are adorable. I also have my beautiful little lady chow, Mei Ling, who is the granddaugher of your Paw Paw.
I love my little girl, who is my loyal companion and has the sweetest disposition of any dog I have ever owned. When you pick one of Karen's puppies, you will be happy whichever one you choose. Her dogs are just incredible, excellent personalites.
I just talked with her a few moments ago, and expressed the desire to take another chow for company for Mei Ling. I was hoping to get one of this litter, but not sure if there will be one left.
You will have the most loyal friend for life as the chowwow grows into a little man.
When you choose your puppy, and you feel like traveling to Penna., come visit with Mei Ling and me..
Hope to hear from you.
Your chow friend, Eileen

Martha~
I have been missing your show due to some recent health issues and just today saw the re-run of April when you announced Paw Paw's passing. I was so sad, he was a magnificant animal and I loved seeing him over the years. Today I saw this post and envy your need to make a decision on a new puppy. You may have already chosen by now, I wish you and the new addition all the best! Thanks for sharing with us and for your show which is a great service to many!

Posted by: Mary | August 26th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Oh Boy! The all time most loveable and beautiful breed ever. This is the dog that remains adorable into adulthood.A face so easy to love.
Ahhhhhhhh........
natural stress reduction at its best!
Please just give them an extra squeeze for me. I hope to see them on your cover or at least some action shots in your yard or something PLEASE!
Posted by: Jana | August 26th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Martha..how happy you looked with these beautiful, loving puppies. It would be great for you to have all 3 but understand why you cannot.The picture of the one puppy on the right did look the most like paw paw.. i think..whichever one you choose will be very lucky to have such a loving owner.
Posted by: Suzanne Morelli | August 26th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Oh Martha I think you need all 3, but they may take over your bed.

Posted by: Mary | September 2nd, 2008 at 11:30 am
Martha--you must take all 3!!!
they are family and will do well together with you--
they are three cutie pies
Posted by: melanie | September 4th, 2008 at 10:27 am
FABULOUS!!!! Chows are the most wonderful dogs and make the perfect pet!!! Those puppies bring out the best in you Martha, you are absolutely glowing, even more than usual!! My chow is 12 now and she has been slowing down. "Krystal" has been such a great pet, very low key and never destructive or anything of that nature. I agree with Carlos, maybe you should keep all three, why seperate the family?? If they grow up together, there should not be any fighting. If you must choose, good luck!!
Keep being the "FABULOUS" person that you are!!

Posted by: Julie wilson | September 8th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
How I loves chows, they all resemble the first one I owned many, many years ago. Good Luck with your choice, I would wind up keeping all three for sure. Why not let Sharkey and Francesca choose the new addition to their family.
I am so glad you are getting another chow, once a chow mom always a chow mom.
Good Luck in choosing the winner.

How can you not love each of them, and holding them so close you must feel your PawPaw right thru them, since they are the grandchildren. how wonderful for you to have a piece of your PawPaw, or three pieces. they are all too cute. good luck choosing, but how precious are they all. and Martha, well you are glowing.

Posted by: suzanne | September 13th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
the pictures of the puppies are so cute.. by now I am sure you have made your decision.. was it the little shy look, or the getting into the cat food? something I am sure something special happened for you to make your decision. Of course, nothing will replace your beloved chow... but a heart is always big enough to let another one in,with his own personality. I am sure you will enjoy the new pup no matter which one it is.. Also, when the other pups get adopted, I am positive the new owners wouldn't mind sharing their puppies adventures with you.. WHO wouldnt want to share puppy love with Martha Stewart???? I know I would love too..
Posted by: ekd | September 15th, 2008 at 1:01 am
The puppys are so adorable I truely hope that you decide to keep all three just becasue you in the position to do so ..I have three dogs myself and sometime wonder how I will feed myself let alone all of them but they are my babys so I manage to take good care of them...Martha you need to have an area where people can share pictures of their dogs too...I would so love to share a picture of my little Shami K Labowsky with you I just know that you would fall in love with her

I vacation in Atlanta twice a year just to visit. This res truant has been in business for over 60 years.Martha you talk about good Soul Food try it.This can be confirmed by Mrs.Hillary Clinton , Richard Gere and the Dalai Luma, as well as pres. Jimmy Carter Please visit its great

I was almost so disappointed because the NBC station Martha is on moved the time and if i had not been listening to the "Today Show" i would have been so angry at her usual time. So glad i found out ahead as it was a wonderful show...from the tour of her wonderful farm, her choosing of her new Chow puppie WHO could pick the perfect one...and the Friesan Horses that was wonderful. Thanks for a great program and how can they get any better.
Have a great year!!!!
Posted by: Ann Shaffer | September 15th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Which puppy did you decided on? Your program on 9-15-08 was interfered with the President speach.Please show us again which puppy you choosed and why. I really loved PawPaw and was very sad when he passed. Please show your pick one more time. Please!!!
Thank You,
Claudia
Posted by: Claudia White | September 15th, 2008 at 7:22 am
Martha, I only caught the tail end of your show (hope I can see it archived), but it lifted my heart to see you and your new Chow puppy. I was deeply touched by your blog when you lost your beloved Paw Paw. This weekend we lost our favorite elderly dog, and when I saw how happy you are with your new puppy it gave me hope. I know that no one can replace PawPaw, just as no one can replace our Lucy, but I am glad that you have decided to share your life with another Chow Chow. May you have many happy years together.
Posted by: Laura | September 15th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Dear Martha,
You're amazing and your farm is spectacular! I was so incredibly awe inspired by your wonderful horses not to mention those little pups! How cute! I wish you all the best with whichever one you keep... I'd want them all but I understand you can not! My condolences to you for PawPaw... I fell in love with him everytime you had him on the show!
Sending you a hug!
Sincerely Yours,
DREW I.

lucky you to have a continuation of Paw Paw! The one that picks you should be it, likely if they know what is good for them, they all will! The cutest photos of my day! Lucky puppy which ever one he is, to have such a nice mother and animal family.
Posted by: Linda Pastorino | September 15th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Your show today was worth waiting for all summer. I absolutely adored the Chow puppies Martha! I cannot wait to see how things progress as your new baby grows up. As a breeder/handler of Tibetan Terriers for over 25 years now and being very familiar with Karen Tracy's dogs from the show ring I must say that you could not have picked a better breeder to have gotten your new puppy from! She does an awesome job raising puppies! Much luck with the days ahead...Rus from Bucks County Pa

Martha,
I watched your premier show and was wondering how do you grow figs on your New York Farm? How do you protect them during the winter months?
Posted by: Marty Ciccone | September 15th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Martha, as always your shows never leave me disapointed but come on now! You should know by now never,never appear on TV with animals that were as cute as Paw Paws, grandsons! They were so cute! I see by the dates you must of spent a lot of time with them in order to decide which one you will keep.
I can hardly wait to see your next show..
Posted by: Theresa Curtis..AKA- Topcat | September 15th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
This pulls at my heartstrings since we had to put down our beloved Chow last Friday (Sept 12).
I'm so happy for you Martha and sad for your loss of Paw Paw. I always enjoyed seeing him on your show. I wish you a wonderful life with the grandson you choose to share it with.
Posted by: Wendy in Oregon | September 16th, 2008 at 6:34 am
Martha,
My wife and I are on our third Chow-Chow. When the last one died we were not going to get another one but within two months we were making a choice much like you. We looked at two mails and one female when they were just 12 weeks old. I was to choose this one because my wife pocked out the last. One seemed to sit on my feet all the time. He was one lucky dog for doing so; we took him home. Kirby Bear of Toad Hill, his full name, is now six years old. I wouldn't trade these past six years for anything. Bless you and your new pet.
Posted by: Jesse Norris | September 16th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Martha,
Why would you want to separate those very cute pups? You live in a big house and have lots of land for them to roar. You have three horses and three donkeys. Why not three chow chows!! Besides,you know you really love them! Just think Paw Paw gave you three little wonders of joy to remember him. I'm sure he knows you will take care of them for him. He had a good home and a great mom caring for him. Do the same for his grand kids.
I know there's hard work ahead, training and feeding. I have great faith in you, Martha, you can do it. I love animals and if I had your kind of home with that much land. I would take and care for all three, hands down!
Thanks for letting me say my peace,
Lots of Love,
Ann

Martha these three babies are SO CUTE!!! I had a male Chinese Shar-pei for fifteen glorious years,then we had to put him down (I believe the two breeds have similar personalities.) I still cry for him I miss him so much. I would love to find a reputable breeder for Chinese Shar-pei puppies,...know any? I watched Monday's show,and saw the puppy you picked. I would have wanted to take all three too. Good luck Martha,I envy you with your beautiful farm and all your animals,etc. I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE it when you share your garden,HORSES,etc with us at home.Margaret Moncton,New Brunswick CANADA

I have one of Karen Tracy's chow's and we love her. I am watching this on and can't get over how much my Martini looks like these puppies. My girl is a happy and healthy dog, so thank you for putting so much work into breeding these dogs the right way. I am sure you will love him.
Posted by: Susan Moser | September 17th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Just wanted you to know that I have so much respect for you and how well you care for your animals. Too many people get them because they are cute but then really don't care for them..you are different and I really admire you for that. You look SO happy with the puppies and the puppy you pick is going to be a lucky little dog.
Best wishes and thanks for being a great example for how to treat our pets.

p.s. I am sorry to hear about your mother passing. I loved to watch you and your Mom cook together. Those were my favorite episodes. It is really hard to lose your Mom. I know from experience my Grandmother who raised me passed away almost 4 years ago now and I still miss her like it was yesterday. Remember the good times and be gentle on yourself.
Posted by: Kerri | September 17th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Martha when are you going to announce Paw Paw's grandsons name.Which color string did you pick? I really liked the red one, He looked the most like Paw Paw on TV.Please keep us informed I loved Paw Paw and would love to watch his grandson grow to be a fine Chow.
Posted by: Annette Johnson-Sacramento,CA | September 17th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
At first I was like well goodness Martha, adopt all three puppies, but then I did a bit of reading about the social behaviour of Chows, and Martha is right, if all the chows are male, their instinct to be "leader" of the pack will take over and they will basically fight with each other even they are brothers and even if Martha's dog-training friends and vets helped. So yeah, sad to say Martha can't keep all three simply because of their gender. I sure don't envy Martha having to make a decision between three equally adorable puppies!
Posted by: DLR | September 17th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
I absolutely love Chow Chows. In my family we were given 3 (different litters - same parents).
Whiskey (passed away at 15+ yrs - of heart failure), Princess (passed away at 12 yrs - cancer) & now the baby, Bonnie still bossing everyone around at 13 yrs 5 mo. One day I hope to raise another Chow Chow with your kind of decision : ) Thank you so much for showing the pics - it made me smile!

I am so glad your show switched from 2:00 p.m. and now comes on at 9:00 a.m. here in Hampton Va. I so enjoy your show and have learned so many interesting and useful ideas from you and your staff. I saw the three puppies come to visit you this week. I thought I heard you say you were going to pick your new puppy, maybe on Tuesday's show, not sure about which day, but I must have missed it. I,ve looked all over and can't seem to find out. Which puppy did you choose?
Posted by: Kimberlee | September 19th, 2008 at 6:01 am
Martha, A long time ago, I was told that you don't pick the puppy, you let the puppy pick you. Sit down with all three and see which puppy picks you!

It was so nice meeting you this summer in Maine with Mr. Strout. Though it was a short visit, the best was hearing about your new puppy that was due to arrive in 3 days from when we met. I am wondering which of the puppies you actually chose. They are so adorable. Having just gone through that decision ourselves with our new Australian Shepherd puppy whom you met called "Lily", I know how difficult that decision can be. However, when Lily lept into my arms at a full run, the decision was clearly made instantly, thank goodness. Hopefully, we'll meet your new family member up in Maine next summer. By the way, the best toy that keeps them busy for hours is actually a cat toy. At Petco you can get 3 sponge balls in a plastic package for cats. They come in 3 different colors. Our Maine Coon cat will have nothing to do with them, but our puppy can't live without them. They bounce high and roll fast. It also helps soothe their gums as their teeth grow in. Thanks for sharing the puppy pictures. They are great!

Such sweet babies they are and I am sure one of them will fit right into your family of unique pets. I am glad you are the one choosing as it seems so hard to know which one to pick. Good luck and have fun as it always seems you do with your pets. Your face smiling tells it all.

Martha thankful for sharing the pictures of these adorable "I'm not fat I'm fluffy" chows. I have a poster that shows a big fluffy chow and it shares that comment. I thought it was so cute.
I have always had chows and I can relate to the excitement and happiness you feel, especially while they are small and all so cute.
I must have missed the show where you mentioned that Paw Paw past away. I was sad for you, because I share that feeling with you, as I have lost a chow also.
I saw the start of your new season where you showed Paw Paws grave and then the new puppies. I was sad for you but also happy that you were getting another chow. I love chows so much, they are great guard dogs and very loyal. They truly treasure their surroundings and do not like to do their business anywhere near their living surroundings including outside. They will go the distance to do their business, so unlike other dogs that just go a short distance.
I would love to see the new baby you chose on tv soon, before he grows too big. I wish you would bring him on set so we at home can see how big he has gotten since you introduced him.
So Martha, good luck with your new baby chow, and please bring him on set soon for all of us to see.
Thank you so much.

I live in North Salem, I had a blond female chow for 15 years..she just passed less than 2 weeks ago..
I have some friends making inquiries as to how to get in touch with the breeder of the "baby chows" you had on your show.
I miss mine, her name was CHINA.
Actually, many years ago, she jumped out of my LandRover Defender and into Nick and Tony's in E.Hampton. You were having dinner with friends as I ran around on my hands and knees underneath the tables trying to grab here..Don't know if you remember...it amused everyone in the restaurant.

We love Chows Chows. Ever sinse we adopted our first dog from a shelter that was a Chow mix, we have become Chow fans and absolutley love the breed. Thank you for airing that show this morning.

Martha: They are so precious, I don't know how you were able to chose just one. I would have to keep all three.
