I hate to start off the morning with sad news, but remember how Aunt Martha was debating over which grandson of her beloved chow, Paw Paw, she was going to keep for her very own and she he ended up choosing one that she named Genghis Khan?

Well, there was an explosion at the kennel where Genghis Khan was staying this weekend, and he passed away in the subsequent fire. You can read more about what happened and how to help at her blog. There are also some adorable photos of the late pup.

I promise I’ll write something happy later today to make up for being such a downer.
