FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY I REALIZED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARTHA STEWART AND MRS. B OF BRADLEES!

GOING BACK IN TIME . . . . .

......FOUR YEARS TO THE DAY!

i had decided to write this person who'd endured a jail sentence as a celebrity. i couldn't figure out if it was some mrs. b or a martha stewart. all i could think of was towels. . . . .now four years later she's 'my person.'

i thank the word 'jail' for shaking me awake to the dearness of this lady --------- MARTHA STEWART.

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

From that letter I wrote four years ago introducing myself to "Mrs. B.!!!"....................

WE'VE GOT THIS ANIMAL KINGDOM THING
GOING ON WITH MARTHA

since 2005 I've been taunting Martha with my belief that she's the one, the one to wrap herself in the warm fuzzies of the Big Billion $$$ Animal Industry.



Let's have a peek back . . . . . . . .

Martha,

Sitting around the cauldron campfire in front of our cabin office in Norton, Massachusetts, our board of directors said, "Martha".

We choose to tell our story to you to open our media floodgates for the thousands of families whose animals are stricken with cancer.

I am amazed and highly encouraged that you've threaded into your pattern of shows so much of the life that I am living!

....your show's unique portrayal of cancer awareness on your breast cancer segment ....your pottery shelves turning backdrop to a jungle of "beautiful creatures"....then Gloria, Animal Planet, and a family's heart wrenching animal hospice.

How could I possibly have expected to see all of this when I was pen prepped for recipes!

Let me start telling you the story of how hundreds of lives across the nation have been carried through the storm by a Weimaraner gal named 'Professor Zimbabweeps'.

Let me tell you about a hot line, a product line, a made for TV movie, an amputee greyhound --- and a journey that one long eared gray Weimaraner has crafted into the diploma of a lifetime -- for me, and our grief callers who ask for "Professor".

LET'S TALK,
Andrea Spencer, Professor's Mom
