You’d have to be made of stone not to pity Jessica Simpson this week, after she watched a coyote snatch her beloved dog Daisy right from her own backyard in the Hollywood Hills. Like Jessica or not, you can tell how much that pup meant to her — she carried it everywhere.
But apparently Martha Stewart is made of stone:
“It’s pretty sad,” Stewart, 68, told Usmagazine.com Wednesday at Us’ 25 Most Stylish New Yorkers bash in NYC. “She should have watched it more closely, though. She should have been more careful.”
Geez. Is it wrong to expect a little more compassion for animals from one of PETA’s most ardent recruits?
But here’s what makes it richer: Martha’s own puppy was killed earlier this year in an explosion at a Pennsylvania kennel. And yet she’s never explained why the dog was boarded at the time, when she was at her farm in New York. Presumably the dog could have come as well.
Forget Simpson watching her dog more closely, how about not kenneling your dog just because you’re too busy to care for it?

Does anyone else remember the story in Spy magazine about how Martha got rid
of some baby chickens after using them on an Easter-themed show
Martha was at her farm down the road when that kennel exploded the same way Al Capone was at his Miami home on Valentine’s Day. I can see her now, cool as a cucumber swilling bathtub gin and chomping a big cigar under a table lamp during questioning.
“I don’t know whachyertalkinbout flatfoot. Why don’t you take some of that lettuce I gave you for Christmas and buy that sexy dame of yers some girdle grease”. Now get my mouthpiece on the talker before your brother gets a bean in his wheel.”
And other colorful ’30s chat.
I misspoke — her farm is in New York, not Pennsylvania. But still, isn’t a farm a good place for animals?
Not the one’s destined for my table.
Take that peta!
I saw this as well and thought that Martha is a horrible person. I never understood why her dog was in PA and not NY. If the dog needed to be kenneled, why not closer to your house. I do not care for Jessica, but that dog meant a lot to her, just like my pets do. Talk about being a bitch to someone when they are down.
Somebody should tell Marty that Jessica is not gay and even if she was that isn’t the best way to hit on her.
I wonder how Martha deals with Kids?
I’m not a Jessica fan either. But, being famous, rich and stupid doesn’t insulate her from the hurt of loosing a pet. I feel bad for her.
M’eh, Martha’s from upstate Snooterville, where she doesn’t realize in parts of LA there are coyotes that come out of the hills into your backyard, its not like Jessica took her dog to the crocodile farm and forgot about her.
Has anybody seen the ransome note from the coyote? A copy of it is on the celebjihad website.

It’s Friday. I’m wearing them anyway.
aww poor doggy..forget jessica what about the dog! poor thing she didnt stand a chance she was dinner!!…
i cant stand jessica she’s a stupid b*tch but i know what its like to lose a a pet its heartbreaking…r.i.p. daisy!…..
2009 not a good year for jessica – battles weight gain and being ridiculed in the media for the extra pounds, country career flops (oh shocker), tony romo dumps her, good for you tony! and daisy becomes dogfood!!…..does anyone else think that maybe karma is out to seek revenge on jessica? hmmmm
Forgive me for saying this, but it’s not like “Martha Stewart is an Embittered, Vicious Old Cooze” is gonna make headlines. Old, OLD news, that. And I say that, knowing that deep down I got nothin’ for Jessica Simpson.
poor jessica.
Beige, this is where we part ways: Deep down I have something for Jessica.
Hurricane, baby, you can have it all. ‘Cause I got nothin’ for her, as you may have read.
Ohhh, Martha. Even if that’s true, don’t point it out like that! Coyotes are a menace. Scariest thing I ever heard was coyotes howling at night while at my grandmother’s house in Pasadena. I was maybe six, but I have yet to hear something as hair-raising over twenty years later. My old boss moved to Palm Springs, and she was told that she should never let her animals out alone or far away from her because coyotes would come and take them out right under her nose. Sad situation all around. I feel sorry for anyone who loses a beloved pet that way.
Anyone with half a brain knows that coyotes prowl & with so much of their natural habitat being developed, incidents like this are going to happen. Jessica should have had Daisy on a leash & harness. It is awful to lose a pet, but seriously, Jessica needs to develop a bit of common sense.
Martha Stewart is a hag, plain & simple.
“Jessica should have had Daisy on a leash & harness.”
Might not have helped. Coyotes have been known to snatch up leashed dogs and yank them right out of their owners’ hands. They are fearless and opportunistic predators.
I’ve got nothing for Martha Stewart, but not everyone feels the need to carry a dog around with them everywhere they go. So her dog was in a kennel. So what? I’m surprised you aren’t implying that she had something to do with the explosion just to rid herself of the dog she so obviously abhors. I mean, she left it in a kennel! The horror! As far as Jessica goes, it sucks to lose a pet like that, but Martha was right. Maybe cold, but right.
I’m not a huge Jessica fan, but I don’t hate her at all either, and I felt so bad for her when I read this story. How awful for her. She could look her dog in the face and know that he’d love her no matter what. However thin or fat, or badly dressed, or just waking up in the morning with messy hair, morning breath and pillow creases on her face that he wouldn’t think any less of her. A dog’s love in unconditional. She’s a person who just lost someone she obviously loved very much. Martha’s a notorious bitch so this doesn’t surprise me.
I’m new here, so I’m still trying to get past the phrase “coyote snatch” in the first paragraph.
I had forgotten about Martha Stewart’s dog until now.
I was working at Amerigas when the explosion happened and it was actually caused by someone from Amerigas delivering propane to the kennel.
The tank was overfilled or vapor was ignited by a heater.
I believe the driver tried to save some of the dogs and ended up dying from lung damage.
Jessica Simpson needs a Colt Woodsman or a better fence.
As far as I know, Martha still owns show dogs. I’ve seen her dogs a time or two at Westminster. The dog she was boarding was probably at her professional handler’s place for training, would be my guess. Martha’s newest dog obsession is French bulldogs; was that the dog that died in the explosion? Before that she had chows. And you don’t REALLY think she did all that coat-care herself, do you…
I can’t understand Martha’s supporting PETA, either. She keeps chickens (and eats them), she actively show dogs (don’t know if she eats them or not), and is really into Friesian horses. Once again, the irony is making me dizzy.
@Fez: HEE!
And in other news, EWW.
the dog that was killed was a chow. I do find it ironic that she is a “chef” among other things but is for animal rights.
I’d give her a shoulder to cry on, then I’d hit it. Probably Jessica
Simpson too…
Ricky – Does anyone else think that maybe karma is out to seek revenge on jessica?
I am not a big fan of hers either but I don’t know that she’s ever done anything truly awful. It’s not like she’s OJ or something. I do feel sorry for her because I would feel the same losing one of my pets that way.
Pinandpuller – Sometimes even fences don’t keep the coyote’s out. They can jump very well, dig and can squeeze through small openings.
Martha’s deceased dog may have been her dog in name only.
It’s fairly common for people to own show dogs which don’t live with them. Elite dogs often live with their handlers and handlers frequently run kennels or grooming businesses.
Think of it like race horses. Owners are not always equipped or even desirous of being the primary caretaker.
Especially Martha who is clearly busy tilling virgin soil for her heirloom Eukranian endive plants and scrubbing her antique salt pottery in a counter-clockwise direction with organic soy soap.
