Come, Celebrate Me Home ..............


Below is a Ritz-Carlton introduction to 'Moses,' of the National Canine Diplomatic Troupe. This applause rendering call to stage was read by Boston news anchor Randy Price and written by Andrea Spencer from her book, "Professor in the Sky with Diamonds." *



MOSES _______



I needed to find Professor's genetic heir before she died.

A cross country search found him.

The puppy Moses of national champion line, traced himself right to Professor's show stopping St. Louis lineage. I hurried across state to meet him, to hug him home.

Nose to nose they met. Then, within seconds, she collapsed.

A few days later......... Spencer,* his new puppy brother, and I drove Professor to a table and a.......needle. Nine week old Moses then drove Spencer and I home.

He sat on the lawn of this new home and stared through the eyes of those who were left.

Moses the loving.......Three years into his brotherhood with Spencer there would be a splitting of souls. A fight between them.....costing thousands to repair each beautiful animal would not alter Moses' love for Spencer......Still, today he reaches to stare through the eyes of he who was left.

And we,......... we hold fast to Moses who would not only struggle our struggle, but would come to endure his own. Taunted by an array of immuno-deficiency diseases, he took treatment for life threatening facial muscle disease to serious eye malfunction.

Today, years later, Moses walks tall.....perfectly healthy, with no struggle at all. This is MOSES, named for the suffering.

AND in that suffering ..............we would all come to bear the birth of unfaltering faith and a skyscraper strength .... through his eyes.

I present to you, with my heart handshaking him all the way home, Professor Zimbabweeps' Camelot Moses !

*Spencer, Professor's Weimaraner puppy who......"we bought upon Professor's chemo and radiation commencement. He would either make us or break us within that year! He became our Guide and our Glory."
