Michael Vick has a dog now
Last week, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick created a stir
when he tweeted what appeared to be a Rockwellian picture of himself
playing on his iPad while his daughter studied at the kitchen table. The
stir occurred when people noticed a box of Milk-Bones on the table,
which raised the question: Is the man who spent 23 months in federal
prison on dogfighting charges now a dog owner?
The answer, it turns out, is yes.
In a statement released on Thursday, Vick confirmed that he does, in fact, own a dog.
''I understand the strong emotions by some people about our family's decision to care for a pet,'' Vick said in a statement. ''As a father, it is important to make sure my children develop a healthy relationship with animals. I want to ensure that my children establish a loving bond and treat all of God's creatures with kindness and respect. Our pet is well cared for and loved as a member of our family.
''This is an opportunity to break the cycle,'' Vick added. ''To that end, I will continue to honor my commitment to animal welfare and be an instrument of positive change.''
***
[I'm not against it. Hopefully a relationship with a loving dog will break his former non-caring attitude about them. Maybe it already has. I believe in forgiveness.]

Fifi tangled
Joey is back as Cheryl is going to Kauai to bring back her father's ashes.
Duane is on the mainland, so Cheryl took out Coco this evening.
Keith was barking so Kimo ran up the steps and stopped when he saw it was Cheryl and Coco.
Took out Joey as Kimo didn't seem to want to go (as usual). Joey kind of lunged at Coco at first but seemed OK after.
Sorry Tuffy, you have to stay home today. And he barked as we walked past (I think he was barking for me to take him).
The UPS truck passed us (Joey barked at it). Cheryl thought they might be delivering to her house and she left her mom by herself at home. (Zenny's on vacation so Cheryl was home today.)
As we came back, I noticed Fifi was sitting near the stake and didn't move from it. I thought she might have gotten tangled in the rope. So I hooked Joey on the gate and went down to take a look.
Yep, she was tangled. Practically the whole rope was wrapped around her leg. Took a while, but I finally got it unwrapped. The progress came after I unhooked the rope from the stake.
After she was untangled, she seemed OK and went to drink water and ran to the steps.
Gave her a treat. Gave Tuffy a treat.
Go home.

Cloud Star
TEN YEARS AGO, Jennifer Melton and Brennan Johnson adopted an adorable puppy they named Samantha. But the dog had a not-so-adorable problem.
"She was constantly itching and scratching,” recalls Melton. “She ended up being kind of sickly. I did a lot of research and found that dogs, just like people, could have allergies.”
The pair of San Luis Obispo, California, Costco members put Samantha on an elimination diet to determine
what she was allergic to. Within a month or so, she became healthy and active.
When the two started making their own dog food and sold homemade treats at a dog-shelter fundraising event, they were besieged by calls from people wanting to buy more. Johnson said, “I think we can make a business out of this.”
Their company, Cloud Star (www.cloudstar.com), which started in 1999 with just the two of them, now employs more than 100 people.
Cloud Star products are sold at health food, pet supply, grocery and gift stores throughout the UK, as
well as online.
Ten per cent of all profits go to organisations that support women, children, the environment and, of course, pets.—SF
-- Costco Connection, February 2010
Ah, they make the Buddy Biscuits that I've bought before at Kalihi Pets. Also available at Amazon I see.

Rusty has a problem
“John, sorry to bother you but I think Rusty has a problem.”
The call was from my cousin Bryce, a great guy who takes good care of his cute silky terrier.
As I turned to look at the clock and vaguely saw 11:30 p.m. I mumbled, “Tell me what’s going on.”
“Well, I came home from work and noticed that Rusty kept licking ‘down there.’ Then when he stood up, he walked kind of funny. As I looked closer, I noticed that his penis was swollen and red. It looks dried out and I think he’s in pain.”
“Bryce, I know this is going to sound weird, but I need you to get a water soluble lubricant and gently put some on Rusty so that his penis can retract into normal position. He has a condition called paraphimosis, and if it lasts too long it could get serious.”
Fifteen minutes later Bryce called back telling me that everything was OK. I told him that if it ever happens again to lubricate and call me if it doesn’t work.
Months went by, then late one night I received another call from Bryce. “John, I’m sorry for calling so late but Rusty has the same problem again. I didn’t want to bother you, but I’ve been rubbing lubricant for over an hour and his penis still won’t go back in.”
As I shook the cobwebs from my head I contemplated what Bryce just told me.
