More 'Going Back inTime . . .'

NOVEMBER 1ST, 2005

Cancer, Number One Killer of Pets
ANIMAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATOR TO MARTHA - " I don't have enough hands to hold all of the pencils."

Dear Martha,

I've been enthusiastic to see the tone of your animal industry APPRENTICE hour.

Nonpareil !!!

You really do invest in animals as worthwhile citizens! You also certainly have the edge on how to employ their good spirits into big business !

I'd like to familiarize you with the wonderful eight year history of the founding of and then my travels with National Cancer Society for Animals.

*****************************************************

We start with hearing my Weimaraner's doctor in 1998 ---

"We've got some shocking news. 'Professor' has bone cancer. We have to amputate her leg."

And wrap up with now, 2005 ---

Reading words from author Deborah Straw in her new book, THE HEALTHY PET MANUAL, A GUIDE TO THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF CANCER . . . I could not have written this book without the help of so many veterinarians, other animal care practitioners, animal lovers, and writers. Special thanks for help with this edition go to Dr. George Glanzberg, Rita Reynolds, Andrea Spencer. . . .

I'm complete, replete with taking on this insidious disease, the number one killer of animals.

I'll be describing to you the more than 60 projects we are executing, our national media power and funding campaign initiative, our creative and educational product line to be developed, our cancer patient stories from Rome to our hometowns and much more learning material for your and my national audience.

PURPOSE BEING ---------

1. To Educate. Your media hemisphere is bigger than mine.

2. I Need Help. This "diamond in the dustpan" is running away with all of us in the animal community who have linked onto 'Professor's' legacy. We need to market the many aspects of this legacy.

I don't have enough hands to hold all of the pencils !

I need to "APPRENTICE" with you, not him, not her, but you. I've researched your animal commitment and your businesswoman's style and success. It's me.

Soon,

Andrea Spencer

Februay 14, 2008 - WELL, I'M RETIRED NOW AND ON TO SOMETHING ELSE, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS TIME TO CARRY AT LEAST ONE PENCIL.

Signed,

MSLO PET MAGAZINE STARTER THOUGHTS . . .

.

"ORANGE REFLECTIVE JACKETS," SOMEONE ASKED ME ABOUT. SCROLL DOWN ON THIS BLOG AND SEE ONE OF MY WEIMARANERS WEARING HIS.

MARTHA'S PROSPECTIVE MAGAZINE COULD PERHAPS CREATE TEMPLATES FOR 'DESIGNER' SAFETY GEAR, RIGHT DOWN TO REFLECTIVE DOGGIE HIKING BOOTS AND TURTLENECK ORANGES, REDS AND YELLOWS WITH LCD "GO GREEN" LIGHT STRANDS SEWN IN. WHO SAYS BEING SAFE CAN'T BE PRETTY!

"QUALITY PET PRODUCTS," SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED. SEE IF MARTHA WOULD ESTABLISH A MAGAZINE ADVERTISING CONNECTION WITH PUPPERWARE. IF YOU THINK TUPPERWARE WEATHERS THE YEARS, HAVE A LOOK AT THIS PET LINE THAT MY COMPANY ENDORSES! CALL ME AT "WE ARE THE WORLD PRODUCTIONS" (OUR NCSA UMBRELLA - THE ENTREPRENEUR CONSORTIUM) AT 508-622-0415.
ALSO, ASK MARTHA TO START A SCREENING LINE ON SAFE AND STURDY PET PRODUCTS.

AS FOR TOXIC PET FOODS AND RECALLS WHICH I AM ALWAYS ASKED ABOUT, SEE IF MARTHA WOULD DIMENSIONALIZE HER PROSPECTIVE MAGAZINE WITH A GRAND OPENING EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH SYMPOSIUM ON PIER 94 IN NEW YORK. NATIONAL CANCER SOCIETY FOR ANIMALS DOCTOR FRIENDS FROM TUFTS UNIVERSITY, ANGELL MEMORIAL ANIMAL HOSPITAL IN BOSTON, AND ANIMAL CANCER FOUNDATION AND SMITH RIDGE, BOTH IN NEW YORK, WILL TELL YOU WHAT'S KILLING OUR ANIMALS, AND SAVING THEM TOO!

This Old Man, He Played Two, He Played Knick Kna . . . . .

It's ageism when people question the white haired vitality within the man McCain, says republican strategists on ABC This Week.

C'mon kids, questioning melanoma reoccurance possibilities is wisdom. It doesn't hit ageism.

If we were concerned that Jack and Jill had Mad Cow Disease and might drop their milk buckets heading up hill, it wouldn't be ageism. Though they both be more than 100 years old, our query is for mad cow, melanoma, myositis and the like.

Shall we ask no smart questions and risk "come tumbling down"?

C'mon kids, get sharp!

Now back to my pencil.

Professor, mother of Andrea's Weimaraner Troupe, is featured in her '66 Mustang on Halloween 1997. With cancer in its early stages, Professor and friend Kristen took to the road in this media event to say, "I will make you a miracle that you will carry in this parade long beyond the time of this photo." Every year thousands of families attend this parade in Norton Massachusetts. Professor's memory marches strong and tall with floats, police dogs, veterinarians, radio stations, banners, and a '66 red Mustang with a holiday glow in the back seat.

THANK YOU'S . . . . . . . . .

This week's thank you goes to Mike Miskell, Manager of PET SUPPLIES PLUS in Raynham, Massachusetts.

National Cancer Society for Animals and our associates within the region are most appreciative. Mr. Miskell's efforts have been to support our new charity shop, our Top Dog Ambassadors, and our animals in healing after veterinary treatments.

Wonderful surplus treats and quality foods have come our way throughout this year. Everyone is happy to see the surprises Mike donates each month!

"I love this pop gun toy," says one of our young customers of the THE SMACK DAB SHOP. The pet treat dispenser was a definite PLUS to every kid who bought one for their dog!

Thanks Mike!

'Professor' on the eve before her rear leg amputation.

Diagnosis: CANCER

CLOSING a page to open another, we posed for 150 shots taken by professional photographer, Bill D'Espinosa, in order to remember time as it once was.

************

After her surgery that next day, Tufts called. Professor "was the unfortunate one", they said. Of all the cancer patients scheduled for surgery that week, Professor was the only animal sent home without surgery. Her cancer had traveled into her pelvis and spine. All of the other amputees to be, went on without her.

She came home with Valentine's Day upcoming. I was sorry that I would know it to be her last.

A year later however, and on Valentine's Day, photographers clicked away in my face for a huge color photo to appear front page. Professor, alive and well, with my arms all around her, looked square into those cameras.*

Perhaps she was seening the faces of Simon and Cheyanne, Mister and Rauleigh, Varney, Tobey, Izzy Calvin and Brando, her friends from the operating room who had gone on to their surgeries without her.

With chilling shock, the doctors and I had seen each one of them die throughout the year, the last on New Year's Eve. Professor lay beside many of them in their homes as we, the families stricken, dropped ceremonious heads to the latest loss.

Two weeks after Valentine's Day, TV crews were assembling to come visit Professor. They had heard she had become suddenly ill. But before they could arrive, she was gone. On March 18, 1999 Professor Zimbabweeps reluctantly let go of her mother's arms all around her.

It was time for her to catch up with old friends. For again, they had gone on without her.

SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS STUDENTS MAKE NATIONAL CANCER SOCIETY FOR ANIMALS DO WHEELIES !!

Dear Mr. Kane an Ms. Weckesser,

The National Cancer Society for Animals would like to thank you both, and most certainly, the 11th grade class for the highly pleasing work that was done on our executive business vehicle.

In particular, we would like to note the prompt and informative communication throughout the process, attention to detail, quality workmanship and willingness to go that extra mile to insure safety and top notch customer relations.

On two occasions I have been impressed and thankful to have our Jaguar's needs met by Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical School - most recently the excellent mechanical work done by Mr. Kane's young people, and a season previous, the fine exterior work handled by Mr. Collins' body shop crew.

Both groups of young car care students should be proud of their skills! I personally thank you all for putting National Cancer Society for Animals out there on wheels working well an lookin' good!

Martha,

Well, hello from the green meadows my imagination has been breathing since seeing your early morning stroll portrayed in photos!

I think it's time for an anthology of poems to be strummed along with your 'mud-luscious wonderful' portraits of wet morning wind willows walking.

Look at your beautiful fences in splayed finger handlock with one another. Then there is much to be said for the families of animal faces settling into the clouds to watch the jocund day your gardeners are preparing to design.

Your so harmoniously balanced photo of 'Twilight in Pink' is where I think I'll take to my pencil lead, now a mass of words unwritten. I'll come back to you with the beauty of your photo in words.

Later, during another light.

Those words I see, conjuring themselves up from the photographer's camera twilight.

Who's Counting . . . One Tweetie, Two Tweetie

I heard there is some bird counting going on for those of us hearing them peeping out from winter.

I don't know what you have tallied about your woods and fields, but I on the same terrain, with lily ponds and rivers included, have 123 species.

They were counted by the Audubon Society when staying on my property's artist retreat some long time ago.

Since then I have added Weimaraner upon Weimaraner to the land. I doubt any species to be lost to this barking lot since I have found nests built in the kennel doll houses and lilac bushes. I've even spotted their little twig and grass homes cemented over the entry at my front door!

There is a trust here that seems to billow from bird to bow wow!

Best of enjoyment as you count your singers this spring!
