Michael Vick: Obama Thankful Eagles Gave Quarterback A Chance

[TonyM]

What I have a huge problem with is Vick wanting to adopt a dog. What could possibly be going through his head that would allow him to think that is in ANY way a good idea? Play football again if you have to, Vick, but you do NOT deserve the love and devotion of a dog.

I think that's a sticky situation. I know the court order says he 'can not have another dog', but how do you order something like that? Personal bans always seem to hollywood/movie to me. In reality, if he had another house somewhere and had a dog there now, would we know it? No. If he's treating it well or poorly would we know it? No.

In my mind, I think Vick at one time was a dog lover and probably got into some hairy shit with his, ahem, cohorts we'll call them. He's been volunterring with ASPCA and I think that if he can show that he takes care of a dog, he's got just as much right to have one as you or I. I do think that the dog should be checked on, etc. to make sure it's healthy and not abused.

And believe me, we need more good people to take in dogs! I'm fostering a stray pit that I found right now who was pregnant and just had four pups in my garage! This in addition to the two big dogs I already have (both are rescues as well). So I know where you're coming from on the rescue part.

Here they are a few days after the birth. They're about 3.5 weeks now and growing like weeds, all eyes open and they're starting to walk/stumble around.
