This is Emma, my dog, who I adopted about a year and a half ago. Emma was rescued from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and despite being so sick that she couldn't stand, she was able to keep all of her puppies safe until they were found. I wrote about her story way back when I first got her, but I felt it was worthy again since this whole Michael Vick dog-fighting case. As you can see by her face, Emma is part pit-bull, and thus could've been used in one of those fights, or just has fodder for a more aggressive animal to practice on.I'm not sure what I think is fair punishment for Vick - a man who not only bank-rolled a major dogfighting operation, but also apparently took part in killing dogs - but hopefully someone will see this picture and perhaps punch themselves in the face instead of going to a dogfight if they really feel the need to get out some extra aggression...

New York Yankee legend Phil Rizzuto passed away yesterday at the age of 89. My memories of Phil are mostly of him doing color commentary for the Yanks when they were pretty awful in the late 80's/early 90's. He was fun and silly, but most of all he could make any hit sound like a homerun, even when it was a pop-up to the second baseman. In a day when sportscasters over analyze and pontificate about everything, we could use more of his simple, care-free style.
Instead of saying, "So Long Scooter", which both the NY Post and Daily News have on their covers today, I'll just say say what Phil would've said on a routine grounder to short..."Holy Cow!"
