Benefit For Little Victories No-Kill Shelter.

Come one, come all, to a benefit dinner at Rocco's Ristorante' in Ceredo, WV, on Sept. 14/2009 at 6PM, to benefit Little Victories No-Kill Shelter, in Ona, WV. Tickets are $65.00 a person or a sponsorship of $250.00 which includes 2 tickets to the benefit and your name in the dinner program.

I know that might seem high, particularly in this day and time, but, honestly, it is for such a good cause. Your $65.00 will go to feed and medicate quite a few dogs and cats at the shelter and in the fosters homes throughout the area. At a time when WV is killing over 100,000 animals a yr., you can help put a stop to unnecessary killing of strays in our shelter systems.

Rocco's is one of the premier Italian restaurants in our area and their cuisine is fabulous. I know from personal experience. So, come on down and enjoy a night of fun, fabulous food and companionship with people that care as much about the homeless animals as you do. Who knows, if you are a single guy or gal, you might find someone that loves animals as much as you.

And, Little Victories has been accepted to the Rescue Waggin' program that takes animals from over crowded shelters throughout the nation and takes them to areas that have very, very strict spay and neuter laws, so there will be animals to adopt and it cuts down on the number of animals unnecessarily killed because over shelter over-population.

I hope to see you at the benefit.

Rocco's is located at 252 Main St., Ceredo WV
Heavy Hors d'oeuvers at 6pm and dinner at 7pm. If you have any questions please contact the president of Little Victories, Sue Brown at: 304-743-5802 or email her at: sbrown7987 @aol.com.

The Latest In The Michael Vick Saga.

Well, it looks like the Eagles are going to give Vick a chance to get back into football. Personally, and this is my own opinion, not the opinion of this paper, that he should not have been let back in the league to play. And, I feel the same way about players that have been caught with guns and drugs and alcohol. Now, with that out of the way, I don't think he can be rehabilitated. Like a vicious dog, he can not stop his behavior, as it has been ingrained into his brain that this behavior is perfectly acceptable.

As a boy, he grew up around people that fought dogs in alleys, and then moved on to the pit fighting. He just can't stop this way of life. I know he will continue to be in the fight world, just under the radar. He will definitely be more careful about the people he associates with in the underground fight world. The Eagles have taken on more than they bargained for. The Animal Rights and Welfare people will be at every single game to voice their opinions, very, very loudly.

The mobs of people that will come to harass him, and the team for taking him on, will be unreal. This action by the Eagles was really quite shocking to me. Look at the way they have treated Donovan McNabb. He was a fabulous QB, but the Philly fans can be unmerciful. So, I am interested to see how this plays out.
