Spring Time With The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Hello Official Vick Dog Chew Toy Fans!

As winter releases its grips on most of the US and spring begins it’s decent across our Nation more and more of us are getting back out with our beloved pets. As we open our windows and doors for the first time in 2011 you are sure to find great outdoor pet events popping up across your cities, towns and neighborhood.

I want to encourage you to support these great events. These neighborhood events present a fantastic way to show your appreciation to local organizations that rely on your support to continue their great assistance in caring for pets. These events present an opportunity for you and your pet to bond with your friends and neighbors and enjoy the outdoors together.

In celebration of the 2011 Spring Season, I want to present the most creative ideas that The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy has been involved in. The orchestrators of these events really know how to have fun, involve their pets and show support for their cause. To each of them I salute their creativity and originality. Most of all, I support their dedication and support of our beloved pets. Without further delay, I present the top 5 most creative uses of The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy in a charity event:

#5 – The Great Dig Off! Dogs are kept in a separate area while volunteers bury Official Vick Dog Chew Toys. Contestants, (dogs and their owners), are released into the field where they have to sniff out the toys. The dog that sniffs out the most Official Vick Dog Chew Toys wins.

#4 – Bobbing for Vick! Official Vick Dog Chew Toys are placed in a kiddie pool. One at a time dogs are given access to the pool where they lunge down and bring up as many submerged Official Vick Dog Chew Toys as they can in a 2 minute span. The dog that retrieves the most toys within two minutes is the winner.

#3 – The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy Toss! Owners are set in a circle. Official Vick Dog Chew Toys are attached to a rope. Owners swing the rope and release it as far as possible. Their dog has to retrieve the toy and bring it back to the circle without the owner’s assistance. The dog that retrieves the farthest throw and returns the toy back to the circle wins.

#2 – If You Hide I Will Seek! Dogs are first given a Vick Dog Chew Toy to enjoy. Just after the “relationship” is developed the toy is removed from the pet. The toy is then hidden in a location. It is up to the dog to seek out the evil Vick and put him away for the final count. The dog that accomplishes this in the quickest time wins.

And the most original contest associated with The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy is….

#1 – The Great Vick Chew Off! Each dog is given one Official Vick Dog Chew Toy. The first dog to go through the toy and separate it into 4 or more pieces is declared the winner. Contestants compete against the thrill of the chew and the destroying abilities of their fellow K9!

These are just some of the great ideas that bring awareness, contribute to the bottom line assistance of local and national shelters and organizations, bring owners and pets together and create fun events for all to enjoy. I encourage you to celebrate and seek out these events. Show your support and fight against animal abuse. Raise Awareness! Give Back!

If your organization would like assistance with quantities of The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy to help in your event, please let me know how I can help. My email is support@officialvickdogchewtoy.com the website is www.officialvickdogchewtoy.com

Quantities are running low. I have taken steps to allocate a percentage to help with charitable activities and donations. “Giving Back” has been a commitment that I have made from the beginning. My goal is to give the last Official Vick Dog Chew Toy away rather than sell it.

Thanks for your support.

The Action Behind Outrage

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

It is amazing to see how everyone responds when the attention is up.  It seems as though everyone’s heartbeat increases, the awareness mounts and more and more people open up and become involved.  The animal loving community is simply AMAZING!

I NEVER would have guessed that this swell of underground support existed.  I have owned pets in my life.  I have adopted from shelters and have taken pet’s from private owners.  I have always cared and provided the best support possible for the pets I have owned.  I always assumed that this is what you do when you take on the responsibility of a pet.

What I have fallen into is a world that I never knew existed and a world that I am simply amazed and honored to be a part of.  There is this underground support that does not seek publicity, does not seek acceptance or reward for their time or money.  All the people that exist in this world seek is the well being of neglected, unwanted and abused pets.  Countless people in this world will spend their time and money to help animals that cannot help themselves.  They make it their goal to care for the outcasts in our society; those that others have abused and thrown away.

What truly takes my breath away and impresses me the most is the outcry that these volunteers, foster parents, business owners, animal lovers alike display when there is a visible sign of the atrocities that they constantly fight against.  When these great people see Mike Vick and others that seem to be celebrated and rewarded after being convicted of their actions, the blood really begins to boil.  They realize that unlike the humans that create the abuse, neglect and even death these animal victims do not get a second chance.  They get no plea.

I have been intimately involved in this, “animal lover”, world for over 3 years now.  I did not purposely gain entry.  I have fallen into this world by simply trying to follow the lead of so many others.  It is very easy to say you support animal rights.  It is completely different to volunteer time, money and even your life to help make a difference.  I try everyday to live up to the expectations of this, “animal lover”, world that I have joined.  I do know that it has made me a better person and can only hope the reward of assisting those animals that cannot defend themselves is equal to the thousands of others that commit their lives daily.

You should go out of your way to support, defend, protect and speak out against ANYONE that seeks to needlessly harm defenseless animals.  I appreciate all those of you that do and I appreciate the support that you have given to my initiative.  Regardless of what you hear or are told, YOU can make that difference.

Thank you for your continued support.

The Great vs. the ingrate

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

On Monday night we will witness McNabb vs. Vick.  I am calling this match up the Great (McNabb) vs. the ingrate (Vick).  Most of you know that I am a Redskins fan, but that is not why I call McNabb the Great.  Donovan has certainly solidified his status as a great NFL player long before he became a Redskin.  On the flip side, Vick has solidified his status as an ingrate before becoming an Eagle.  So, we have two “men” going against each other on the field, but two completely different characters that are being represented.

I mentioned on the radio this week that I did not fault Vick for returning to the NFL.  Vick did the time and sentence given to him.  All any criminal can do is the time he or she is given.  What I do fault is the lack of character and sense of accountability for the NFL, the Humane Society and any other organization that has suddenly allowed Vick to return to public status as a “forgiven man”. 

Vick has harmed without suitable consequence.  Vick has been allowed to return to life without accountability for actions.  Vick has been allowed to resume life without any assumption of past activities or damages.  I am not sure what or who he has paid to be allowed forgiveness, (Humane Society and NFL), but I do know that this same level of forgiveness would not have been afforded to most of us.  These facts are the most troubling to me.

I cannot bring myself to look at Vick without thinking about the incredible amount of damage he has done.  What makes it worse for me is the lack of remorse I hear in his voice or see in his eyes.  Vick is a football player now, but certainly a THUG as well and a man that has no worry or remorse for any damage he has left behind.   Vick is a person that lives for the day and cares not about what past days have produced.  I can only hope that his legacy is marred with an asterisk that tells of the time he was out of football.  For that time is the only remorse that this man will ever feel. 

Go Skins.  Go for the ribs!
