As you all know by now, Martha is launching a fantastic new line of pet products for PetSmart soon, and naturellement, we, along with G.K., are the stars of the upcoming television commercial. Martha will be showing her behind-the-scenes video on her show on July 8, but she graciously allowed us this Web scoop. Thanks …

Do you remember a recent blog when Franny and I told you about how a giant food pantry was moved from Martha’s flower room and put in the basement? Obviously, the idea was to make room for something else but, what can that be?

I’m so happy that Martha loves her dogs, but she also loves her cats. That wouldn’t be such a bad thing if they just minded their own business. Take Vivaldi, for example. He’s very cunning and I forget about that fact. Look what he did to me recently!
