A Good Weekend

I didn't get out kayaking this weekend (overcast and rainy), but it was still a good weekend. I ran well this weekend thanks to the cooler temps and victories for "athletes I cheer for":
  1. Justine Henin won the women's final at the US Open... Allez Justine!
  2. The Carolina Panthers defeated the St Louis Rams 27-13 in St Louis.
Then I found this article:
In shadow of Vick case, two NFL players show love for dogs

CHARLOTTE, NC (AP) - The Michael Vick dogfighting case drew headlines all summer.

At the same time, the doggy day care backed by linebackers Will Witherspoon of the St. Louis Rams and Dan Morgan of the Carolina Panthers did brisk business.

Talks have recently heated up about expanding Club K-9.

As Vick faces jail time and an indefinite suspension from the Atlanta Falcons, Morgan and Witherspoon have agreed to help sponsor a rescue program that places stray dogs in homes.

Witherspoon says he and Morgan are "on the opposite end of the scale" from Vick's situation.

On Sunday, the friends will likely chat about canines when they meet on the field before the game.
