Vick told the assembled school-age children that he hopes to one day own another dog — he’s currently legally prohibited from doing so — but that whether he’ll be able to is “up to my judge at his discretion.”

Interestingly, Vick declined an offer by BAD RAP, the Oakland-based rescue group that has worked to rehabilitate 10 of the dogs seized from his Bad Newz Kennels, to see the dogs when his team, the Philadelphia Eagles, played the Oakland Raiders in October.

Let us hope the judge’s discretion is better than that of the money-grubbers at the NFL or the HSUS.

Grooming isn’t something we usually give a lot of thought to when choosing dogs, but we should. If you’re a neat freak, a heavily shedding dog is going to make you miserable. Dogs with heavy coats can exacerbate human allergies, and some coats require extra care to keep the dog happy and healthy.

Despite their small size, they can more than make up for it in pure personality! If you are considering purchasing Teacup Chihuahuas, there are a number of things you need to consider. Here are some of the things you need to know!
