TAKE THAT MICHAEL VICK

QUOTE OF THE DAY: 

"It's not the dogs fault, it's the humans"

Hands off peeps, all  leftovers are ours.

Hi friends,

Last night Mommy was thinking about Miss Shelby. She does all the time and and the tears still come when she thinks about what all our sweet girl went through before she was rescued. In less than a month she and the rest of the Fearless Five will have been gone a year. It is going to be a hard Christmas for all of us. That's why the following story hit so hard. Our quote of the day says it all, "It's not the dogs fault, it's the humans".  Even 5 years later, Mommy still fumes when she thinks about Michael Vick and is still ashamed of the NFL, that he was ever allowed back into football. GOD doesn't forget. He'll get his in the long run.

Here is the story..................

Seven of Michael Vick's Rescued Dogs Reunited   Posted: 13 Nov 2012 09:00 AM PST Five years ago, the Pit Bull advocacy group BAD RAP left Virginia with 10 of Michael Vick's dogs "secreted" in the back of its RV, according to ABC News. The group had worked with prosecutors on the case to identify which dogs could be rehabilitated. All of them went to good homes, and all are doing well. Last month, seven of the dogs were reunited for a photo shoot and a celebration.  Do you know how hard it is to get seven dogs to pose for a picture? They have a lot to celebrate. If there was any question in the public's mind that Vick's abused dogs -- trained to fight -- could not only be rehabilitated but turned into loving, happy dogs, it's gone. All seven have Canine Good Citizen Certificates. Three work as therapy dogs in hospitals and children’s literacy programs. One, Jonny Justice, appeared on the Rachel Ray Show and won GUND's Top Dog contest -- his likeness will soon show up as one of GUND's famous stuffed dogs. “They’re very forgiving, and they all really enjoy other dogs, which is probably the other big surprise that came out of the case,” said Donna Reynolds, director of BAD RAP. “In fact, dogs were a comfort to them.” “Dogs live in the moment; they don’t dwell on the past,” she continued. “Once they have enough positive experiences to draw on, they just run right into the present.” We love these dogs. And the present is a fun place. At the reunion, the dogs had the time of their lives -- what dog wouldn't, surrounded by a pack of well-adjusted, happy dogs, all of whom happened to look a lot alike? “There were lots of hugs, kisses, lots of crying. When people meet these dogs, they cry,” Reynolds said. “They understand that they are little pieces of positive history.” The only one who had trouble was the photographer, Mark Rogers. Imagine trying to wrangle seven wiggly dogs and their adopters to one good picture. Actually, you don't have to imagine it.
