Well, they had a slideshow "tour" of the house on the CNN website. I have to say that it caused me to entertain thoughts of wanting to win the Powerball. There's enough infrastructure there that you could easily construct warm, comfortable buildings for dogs of all shapes and sizes. There's lots of outdoor, woodsy space. Large areas could be fenced off so that dogs could run and play in wooded areas. There's a building that could be adapted as--oh, maybe a veterinary clinic. I've always envisioned a large building with easy-to-clean floors and runs opening off it so that dogs could either be sociable together or have a quiet area according to their needs. I'd add a large heavy-duty washer and dryer for their bedding...a place to mix up their food...a bathing and grooming area...every amenity they might enjoy. You could live quite comfortably in the house there while caring for the dogs. There would be plenty of indoor and outdoor space to introduce prospective adoptive families to the dogs in a comfortable, natural way. It's so pleasant to imagine a place of such dark horror for dogs being turned into a place of peace and safety for them--a sort of a five-star rescue facility. I'll have to get busy and win that Powerball. Sigh.

Anne, if I win the lottery I'll join you in the effort. I can't think of a better use for a place where so much suffering and abuse went on.

We'll even allow Judge Henry Hudson to come to our grand opening!

Oh, good, Chris, 'cause I'm on a roll now. We could dig out the regulation-sized basketball court (already fenced) and turn it into a flyball/agility/obedience training area. Then we could host picnics and events. Or maybe take some of the dogs in the Dog-O-Van to visit various youngsters and old folk who need to be visited by a dog. All I have to figure out now is (a) how to win the Powerball, and (b) how to transport the whole thing to somewhere near Baltimore.

I think once this funding comes through (and prayers ARE answered!) perhaps Mr. Vick should be hired as an employee following his incarceration.... perhaps a kennel cleaner?? Sounds like a good lesson in humility, don't you think?

What a wonderful idea Anne, if I win money I will help out also, but first a cleansing will need to be done to help get rid of the terrible vibes I am sure are there, so much pain and sufferring, poor souls!!!

To the man who bought the property maybe the reason it did not sale was because of your rude comments about the dogs, try being a little more compassionate next time if that's possible!!!
