This was actually on CNN.com. Renal failure, the poor thing. Why they’d report on it is beyond me though. I love dogs, don’t get me wrong. It’s just strange that it was on CNN’s Popular Stories section. Maybe Paw Paw had a fan base!
Even more strange was the dog’s full name: Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow. I am not kidding.
The 60-pound chow, whose full name was Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow, was almost 13. Stewart had owned him since he was born, and had named him Paw Paw for his large paws, a spokeswoman said.
“Paw Paw was a spectacular chow and an even more spectacular dog,” Stewart wrote in a blog post on his death Saturday. “He was always my loyal companion, displaying the most agreeable temperament.”
Stewart wrote that Paw Paw was a willing model for the camera, appearing in television commercials and national print ads. She said in his final days, he stopped eating and drifted off into deep sleeps.
She has two other dogs, Sharkey and Francesca, along with several other animals, including cats, horses and donkeys, at her home in Bedford, New York.

Hi J. First of all, I would like to thank you for your comment on my blog regarding the rude remark of that guard. I’m glad you understand how I felt.
I’m sorry to hear about that poor dog. I had a dog who had kidney stones. He had a successful operation. He died of old age a few years ago. His name was Miko and I miss him very much.

Rach - thanks for visiting! And Miko sounds like he was a great pal. I’m so glad you’re a dog person!
Ross - I did not break down sobbing. Remember how I heard the news at that breakfast buffet in New World? I wanted to cry, but the amount of food on my plate was already embarrassing as it was. So I think I just shed one dramatic tear. Hehe.
