I have always had a dog or cat in my life for as long as I can remember and now I presently have one dog and two cats. I probably care more about Mr. Big, Fedra and Eros more then the large majority of people in my life. To quote my Dad, “they are my kids”.

When the story of Micheal Vick running a dogfighting ring came out with detailed information about what was happening at these dogfighting events only two things came to mind: I hope Micheal Vick gets gang-raped daily in jail and more importantly, what is going to happen to these poor dogs.

I was worried that all the dogs would be put to sleep for safety reasons but a big smile was put on my face this morning when I came across a expose DogTime did on Bad Rap, a rescue group for Pit Bulls out of California, that took in ten of the Pit Bulls from Micheal Vicks home. It is really crazy to see how far these dogs have come:

I can imagine taking in these dogs into your home can be really scary but I have outmost admiration for anyone who is taking that risk. I am sure they are being rewarded ten fold by the amount of happiness the dog brings to their life.

You made my day Bad Rap, you made my day! :-)

Disclaimer: I do not wish rape onto anyone… I can’t even fathom how difficult being raped would be on someone. I used the term rape really just to depict how friggn angry I was when I heard what was happening to those dogs.

“I strongly recommend that you find a vocation in your life where you just really enjoy the act itself. Not just the results, not just the external incentives. The actual work. There’s not enough time to spend it doing anything else.”

From David Heinemeier Hansson blog post “In it for the long haul“

But seriously, are you doing what you love? No? Time to change. No friggn excuses. Just do it!
