Michael Vick was released from prison today...

Let's hope there's no NFL in his future. He already had an opportunity that only one in a million people can ever achieve and he blew it. Not only that, but he hurt & killed innocent animals. Does he deserve a second chance? Yes. Does he deserve another stint as a potential role model? No.

Here's a clip from CNN featuring updates on the Vick pitbulls as well as a photo of Jack showing off his new "I Hate Michael Vick" t-shirt.

Greyhound Event at Pawsh

Pawsh was host to a bunch of adorable greyhounds yesterday for the Greyhound Welfare rescue group's open house.

Greyhound Welfare is a rescue and placement group comprised of unpaid volunteers whose goal is to place ex-racing greyhounds in loving homes. They are a 100% foster home group, which means that all the greyhounds live in real homes until they are placed.

We hope you all find forever homes soon!!
