I can’t write a full sentence about this story without crying or hugging my dog or crying, so I’m obviously saddened to report that Martha Stewart’s dog, a Chow named Genghis Khan, was killed in a propane explosion at a kennel where 15 other dogs also perished. From the news story reprinted on Stewart’s blog:
A day after a propane explosion killed 15 show dogs in a Carbon County kennel, co-owner Karen Tracy mourned the passing of a 16th dog that died Saturday morning, and tearfully described the propane delivery driver as a ”hero.”
Badly burned in the explosion, the truck driver managed to first toss a cairn terrier named Chilli [Mmm...chili hot dog -Ed.] over the fence to safety before getting himself out of harm’s way.
Whoa, hey! When did it get so dusty in here? It’s just allergies, I swear! Or I was chopping onions! Whichever of those sounds like the best excuse!

First the Dooze, now this. It’s been a rough year for psuedo-celebrities’ dogs…
Maybe she was trying to make bosintang, messed it up, and is using this as an excuse?
The Dooze went peacefully though. These dogs went PIECE, not FULLY.
a ha cha cha!

Now we’re cooking with gas!
Khannnnn!!!
Chows are the only dogs with black tongues. Before the explosion, that is.

If only Boomhower and Gribble were there to help.
Also, dog-dying stories bother me much more than people-dying stories. Probably because I like dogs and hate people.
