Rescued Weimaraner Takes on Brain Cancer "Helping financially challenged families with pets is a top priority for both Purina and MSLO." (Martha Stewart, The Martha Blog - 7/31)
Dear The Martha Blog Editors,
After your Purina One (SEE THE MARTHA BLOG) initiative ran through my charity's channels, I started receiving calls.
IF PURINA IS READY, WE HAVE PETS THAT ARE TOO----
" My name is Lisa Massey and my Weimaraner Misty has been the most wonderful, compassionate, loving soul I have ever encountered. About 4 years ago Misty was going to be taken to a humane society where she was going to be euthanized after a certain amount of time. Misty was a neglected abused dog by her previous owner. Hearing all this from m
y family...I couldn't let that happen. Knowing I had just enough money to get by, I took Misty anyway. How could I live with myself knowing I could have just saved an innocent animals life?...I could never let that happen.
It took a lot of coaxing, spoiling, and love to get an unconditional feeling from her that every human should have the luxury of feeling. This bond between Misty and I has only grown stronger. Misty is the type of dog that you don't have to ever put on a leash. No matter where I go, even if there are other dogs around she is by my side.
Then yesterday Misty got up off the couch to get a treat and she fell. It seemed she had lost all mobility on her right side. Her equilibrium is off and she tends to walk to the right swaying and running into things. She has figured out how to walk but she still drastically sways and cannot go up or downstairs...which is difficult for me since I live on a third story apartment. Because I love Misty I manage to carry a 60 pound dog up and down stairs. It takes my all and sweat...but love can give you more strength than you ever imagined.
I took Misty to the vet yesterday after all of this happened. After the examination the vet told me she was 99.5% sure that Misty was suffering from a brain tumor. Specifically on the right side of her brain because the right side of her body was being affected. The vet said that without treatment she could probably give Misty a couple of weeks to a couple of months to live. Knowing I don't have the finances to even begin even an MRI which is almost two thousand dollars. Or even the 140 dollar visit fee just to go and see the specialist. I could no longer hold back the emotion. Hearing this I started uncontrollably crying...just to think that I was going to watch the soul that meant the most to me in life slowly die.
This is an excrutiating pain I could never explain to anyone. As I sit here writing this tears are streaming down my face just thinking and knowing if I had money I could save her life, I would even break myself to do it. So as I sit here watching my dog slowly die I plead to anyone who reads this to please please help me save my best friend. I am a hard working mom and have just enough to get by. I have never been one to ask for money or help...but now I must put down my pride enough to literally beg anyone who is listening. To save a life of one I love I will be willing to do anything. I sit here as the days pass helpless and hope and pray that maybe just maybe by me writing this, someone will have enough heart to help. Please just put yourself in my shoes...would you be willing to beg to save the ones you love?....Please....Please...."

"Helping financially challenged families with pets is a top priority for both Purina and MSLO." (Martha Stewart, The Martha Blog - 7/31)
This was my reference to Lisa Massey's shelter Weimaraner adopted and in need of life care services. It was my mistake, in Lisa's story above, to indicate application to the shelter specific program.
I hope your wonderful commitment statement to financially challenged families of pets, this pet in need of a SECOND RESCUE in her life, can BRING US ALL FORWARD TO PROVIDE A MERCIFUL OUTCOME.
.......TO MARTHA
... ... AND TO YOU !
WORTHY CAUSE KUDOS!!!
You really do invest in animals as worthwhile citizens!
An addition to your current strides for our animal community, for the FUTURE, perhaps........
Since you certainly have the edge on how to employ the animal kingdom's good spirits into big business, consider that CANCER is the number one killer of animals. Animal oncologists nationwide can attest to the horrific demise of our beautiful animals via this insidious life cruncher. More than one third of the animals seen at Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine are cancer patients!
A national 501c3 charity tending to this issue has been toppled by the economy. This now bare bones operation, National Cancer Society for Animals, would like to see you incorporate animal survival into your 'take a stand' panorama.
As a national media professional and prime player within a worldwide cancer concern for animals, I've been graced with health resource galore, but I'm no mogul. We need a prayer, and your wing.
A seasoned corporate community managing this resource and notoriety the National Cancer Society for Animals has developed in 10 years would take this 501c3 skyscraper high.
Take on this animal acquisition already standing, but ready to fall. Hit animals with cancer with the powers you have that I do not.
Accent all that you already do for animals! Be the powerhouse directorship of a national animal cancer charity. I am powerless at this time to do what you could do today, as I was powerless when my 'Professor's' head dropped down out of my hands, cancer clapping.
I now know that there is no end to the help needed TO REACH ALL OF THE HANDS OF THE FACES WHOSE ANIMALS ARE BEING BURIED BY CANCER.
.
How about another acquisition Martha? ..... ..... ..... OR YOU, ..... ... OR YOU....or you !!

STEWARTIt's the year of the woman! At least as far as the Magazine Publishers of America (MPA)is concerned. The MPA and the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) have just announced that they will be honoring MARTHA STEWART with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
MARTHA STEWART, founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, will be inducted into the ASME Magazine Editors' Hall of Fame.
MARTHA STEWART created an entirely new magazine category...The influence of Stewart's editorial vision can be seen at newsstands — and in homes — throughout the United States.
The announcement was made today by Nina Link, President and Chief Executive Officer, MPA, and Sid Holt, Chief Executive, ASME. The award will be presented at a special lunchtime event Thursday, January 29, 2009, at the Plaza in New York City.
------- remembering that little girl having her breakfast cereal in the kitchen. We see she's taken her life to spectacular heights, again, and as always.
AND NOW . . . . . Well, the votes have been counted and the results are in for the second annual Big-Idea BakeOff, the company-wide competition. After the seven finalists pitched their ideas, we invited viewers to vote for their favorite idea on THE MARTHA BLOG. The number of votes was astounding – 625,114 votes total! First place is shared by two winners – Alexis Givens with her allergy-friendly recipe publication idea and Shara Lasky with her idea for a publication focusing on pets and pet crafts. Their prize is to receive their choice of either one thousand dollars in cash or twelve hundred dollars worth of MSLO stock and the chance to help develop their project for the company. It will be most interesting to see where all this leads . . . .

The Weimaraner Canine Diplomatic Troupe prepares for a highly nutritious Thanksgiving dinner. Now all between 8 and 11 years old, the 6 canines are free of cancer, and performing in excellent form. Veterinarians contribute this, in part, to years of high quality foods.
WHEATON COLLEGE 
STEPS INTO THE 'MIX'.
One of our many initiatives has been the "Gourmet Fido" program. Natural foods not only belong on Aunt Emma's and Uncle Morris' table, but in the paws of each animal who wants to live to the ripe old age of 'healthy'!
Wheaton College, CEO Spencer's alma mater, has graciously been donor of surplus fresh vegetables, fruits, breads and meats to aid in this cause.
Each Saturday NCSA hosts animal nutrition time within their charity shop, part of NCSA's ten acre project site at 102 Crane Street in Norton. Nutrition talk is available to visitors and there are demonstrations of meat and leafies preparation and safe eating.
"Thanks to Wheaton, we are developing a high level antioxidant treat that will be for sale in our shop - broccoli sticks, pasted with peanut butter!" says Spencer.

UPDATE: Bloggers! Please leave a comment on this post with your name and blog address. Make sure to add a link on your blog to mine (you must do this to be reviewed!) and I will pick several of your blogs to be featured on the Martha Blog!
I thought I would take you to a pleasant and quiet area of my home in Bedford for a little tour. Welcome to my studio, which I designed in the elegantly simple and functional Shaker style. This is where I hope to set up my easel one day and return to my love of painting. In the meantime, this space is being occupied by me and my blog team, Laura Plimpton and Eliad Laskin. We love working here because it is a very calm studio-like atmosphere and there are so few distractions from the rest of the goings on at the farm.
FROM THE RETIRED CEO
Hi Martha,
-------------------- Martha Stewart 
Dear Good Morning New Child,
Could you do me a favor?
I need one child to spend her entire lifetime carrying a satchel around the whole earth, emptying it bit by bit every few steps. I need her to be able to reach in and recognize the beauty of a blade of grass, to pull from it the heavy task of perfection, and to piece all that is gorgeous in nature into a weave of her own design, then to unpack it across the world for all the days of her life!
Now I know I've never asked anyone to do such a task. And yes, . . . . you probably won't get much sleep. . . . But I have faith that you won't tire. . . . . So I ask you my soon to be born Martha Helen Kostyra, . . . . may I send you to Earth to bring Heaven?
With Love,
PERFECT OF THE MOST HIGH
Glad You Came !
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Britain has made a most unpopular decision.
The British Foreign Office is quoted as "saddened" that Big Ben blemished itself this weekend by landing an official poo poo to your visit, and then dropping it at your feet upon arrival.
One spokesperson states, "We are not pleased at this action. We see the economic activity Ms. Stewart's business ventures could create."
ALWAYS THE MONEY, ALWAYS THE MONEY !
This Brit thinks my homeland need go beyond the "what's in it for me" line of sorrow.
Here we have a creme de la creme lady of planet proportion noted as one of the 5 hardest working individuals alive. She has brought nothing to a scope of our worldwide kin but education, elegance, and astounding inspiration to succeed at dream making.
WHAT ABOUT THE LADY WITH HER SUITCASE?
I believe public sorrow need be, not to consumer loss, but to one lady and her suitcase who loves the British landscape, despite this week's blinding fog.
I hope my 'brace of kinsmen' replace the tarnish at your feet Martha, with a more suitable threshold welcome. We back here in Cowboy Town would roll them our best suggestion!
With Red Carpet Respect,
A.J. Spencer

| One Male Remembering ---- (raw clips for publication notice) Hi Martha, Here's that same puppy with Professor again (readers, see previous post, below). Yesterday's photo to you put him under her leadership. Time later, these magazine footage shots put him clearly in charge. Professor's portrait and Memorial Day took he and I on an afternoon many seasons long. Look at the shot on the bottom, right. He is a huge clug of attitude !!! If you truly love animals, I would wish that you and he could meet before his 10 and a half years settle him to aging. He is the center of such a book of mine to come ! If your field ever has a spot for his feet to run in the world through, it would be a personal happiness for myself and my readers. Andrea Our NCSA canine diplomats have enjoyed writing to you for two years now and can be visited at http://andreajetspencer.blogspot.com/, a spot currently giving notice to your good works within the animal community.

Happy Mothers' Day From a Weimaraner Mammy & Her Pups !
Hi Martha,
Massachusetts State Forester Joe Perry and I have been working together for a dozen or more years to preserve and conserve a historic forest which I own.
In my blog, currently featuring your commitments to 'good' and 'living' things, we mention a new national preservation effort going on within that forest.
THE FOREST . . . a national pet memorial park, grows its own vast array of natural memorials to honor endless numbers of pets who have returned to this very nature, a nature that we are not only honoring them with, but are striving to save.
A national park with a rich hand grown structure memorializing our honored animals is putting nature to its best use. And as for going green . . . creating 'crown space' through scheduled harvests, compounds lighting and nourishment for new seedlings from ironwood to beech, from Indian pipes to tea berries.
If you and yours are interested in a national project with a multitude of earth kindnesses surrounding our pet nation, please see http://andreajetspencer.blogspot.com/, Massachusetts State Forestry, Chapter 61 and 61A or call 508-622-0415.
Our growing seedlings here in Massachusetts need every state to call in and help us "Grow 'Em Green."

Let me start by telling you . . .
. . . . . the story of the moment when my heart leaped across a room onto a grey metal exam table at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. Doctors told it, "We have some shocking news. Professor has cancer." Unshielded and iced, that heart of mine stood tall, beating against the news. I, on the other side of the room with nothing beating in my chest, died, I simply died.
Since that occurrence 10 years ago, Professor's soul and I have a book in the making, Professor in the Sky with Diamonds.
Let me begin on this anniversary of one dog within one and only animal kingdom by storytelling to you from that book. I'll take you along the way, meeting a nation full of goose bump raising testimony to life, and prove to you the absence of death.
Fondly,

James Poniewozik writes TIME magazine's Tuned In column, about pop culture and society. Tuned In, the blog version, is about the stuff we used to call "TV," whether it's in your living room, on your computer or--once the networks figure out the technology and line up the advertisers--in your dreams themselves.
I am both stunned and stricken by all of the words of loss I read here today.
AN OFFERING FOR HEALING
My national charity, along with other collaborators, is breaking ground for a national memorial park for animals.
I will speak additionally of it at a time more appropriate. Through the giving hearts across our country, this healing tool will be a grand testimony to the love you all illustrate here for your pets and Martha's.
If you would like to help with the healing by assisting in this huge undertaking in Massachusetts, please call me. I will personally talk with each one of you any time of the day or night.

| "Dawna Stone, winner of Martha Stewart, The Apprentice was an absolute delight," says Spencer. "She was the real deal and truly loves animals. When we got disconnected on the phone, she buzzed me right back before I could redial." Spencer smiles, "She even returned a call on Labor Day, and offered her cell phone number while vacationing in Hawaii. If everyone were Dawna, all jobs would get done, and done right!" concluded Spencer. ************ ************ *********** Hi Dawna, I've had other buildings added and the state forestry department clear and clean land under an educational program they sponsor to our benefit. At this time we are up to 10 acres of project site up and running. This main 'Homestead House' building was once the wagon painting shed for the horses and buggies that would pull in to the blacksmith shop which stood just beside it. Into what is now our counseling and family visiting room would come the wagons! They would roll right through what is now my chimney and fireplace. For that afternoon it would be 'paint your wagon' time on Crane Street ! ************ ************ ************ My grandmother Esther Crane, had Brown University come down for an archaeological dig in the '70s. We now have fine tomahawks and arrowheads mounted on walnut in our administrative arrival room. The Wampanoag Indian tribe had lived with us along our 3 mile river. There is still an underground sheep pass that they built at the foot of the hill. A long time prior to any of this, the Queen of England somehow got in cahoots with the Cranes and knew they were coming to discover my back yard! She granted them 150 acres, and a bag of money. Their papers show me that, sure enough, off they sailed to Norton !! Then another family by the name of 'Spencer' proved to be aggravating to our Queen, as so many Spencers in England have been, so off they went from her onto whaling adventures far from the homeland. Little did I know they would place their spoils into my house after stopping in Plymouth for lunch and some rifle polishing. Fine teak wood trunks and oriental jewel boxes from China, ivory this and ivory that . . . . *********** *********** *********** Good thing those Cranes and Spencers set sail from Queenie, met and married, or I'd have nothing to renovate, rebuild, dust and hang on walls ! Anyway, here we all are still digging up artifacts from the 200 foot kennel I built when we became NCSA, and the only tribe left is the one I created -- Wampanoag re-pronounced Weimaraner. Have a nice weekend ! Andrea | |||

Westminster GentlemanLET'S GET THAT 'BIG IDEA' FOR THE ANIMAL INDUSTRY BARKIN' MEOWIN' AND HOWLIN' !
Hi Martha,
Hollywood broke cement on the face of Queen Elizabeth recently.
In Stephen Frears' film, THE QUEEN, it was with the employ, not of heads of state or swaddled baby, but via ANIMAL.
If a glorious stag can tilt a smile up from the heart of the world's icon of locked hearts, and if Hollywood found its way to audience applause in depicting this, then there's INDUSTRY ahead.
Let me send incentives along to you from time to time to dimensionalize your ANIMAL MAGAZINE idea, to perhaps create a national animal society within its pages and beyond.
The time is right.
Thank You,
Andrea and the Weimaraners
Martha,
I would love to see a pet lovers publication from your company. I think it would be fantastic and we know that you are a pet lover! That being said, all of the other ideas are terrific as well and I think doing them all would please everyone!
