As y'all know there is a Freepathon going on
and I thought it might be a fun idea to raise some contributions in Chet's name.
Kinda like making lemonade out of lemons.
As you might be aware, our buddy Chet like to post pitbull stories.
I'm suggesting to those who want to join in
that over the next week we set aside a certain amount of money each day to be donated to FR.
There can be 2 donation levels, one of $5/day and one of $10/day.
From those base levels we will subtract $1/day for each pitbull article that Chet post.
The folks at the $5/day level, if Chet remains consistent are likely to pay nothing.
For example Chet has posted SIX pitbull articles today,
Folks at the $5/day pledge level would donate nothing for today.
Folks at the $10/day pledge level would be on the hook today for $4
(course the day isn't over yet and Chet might post 4 more articles before midnight)
We'll start tomorrow and tally up the totals next Saturday,
post our results on the Freepathon thread and make our Chet Challenge donations.
It could also be the time when we make any additional donations in the name of all us dog lovers here on FR
Yep
Yep
Wouldn’t want the title..never been much of a suck-up. Have a great evening....
LOL I have been called many things in my 70 years but lovely was not one of them, Thank you
It’s called an analogy, newbie. Look it up.
And since it appears you aren’t keeping up with things here on FR, the Timothy McVeigh analogy is in reference to the DHS report that said conservatives and Veterans are potential homeland security threats because of what Timothy McVeigh did, Land he was a Veteran.” One, or several thousand bad apples don’t spoil the entire populace, breed, or species.
And in the same way that Tigers should not be allowed out of their pens, neither should a dangerous dog. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that neither the Tiger nor the dog get loose.
Few of us are surprised, I am sure.
ROTFLMAO. Some of the names have been quite beautiful..And you thought they would be nasty names....:O) God Bless and have pleasant dreams..
Don’t go running off with any pit bulls, y’hear?
People or goats, we can’t pick our relatives.
I’ll try real hard not to run off with any pit bulls. I have a 20G and 38 for protection..My last rescue dog looks like she may have some pit in her...vet says maybe...Now doesn’t that just blow you away...:O)
When you don’t have a reasonable argument call someone a newbie...Name calling is the forte of a liberal..Your Analogy may seem right to you but it is so far out of the ball park of the conversation it doesn’t fit...
We do agree on one thing. A vicious dog should never be allowed out of their pens..
You left out a defense of your own statement in your lengthy reply.
oops! lol
So count me in for the $5 pledge. Except mine is good for all pit bull posts, not just Chet’s, because Counter-Morter will just do the posting for Chet.

“Brent Chapman, Dog’s Owner, “That’s where we found him.”
When Melissa Chapman reached her dog Ben, his pit bull attackers had already done so much damage the dog was on the verge of death.
Melissa Chapman, Dog’s Owner, “It looked like two lions attacking a new kill.”
Ben was bleeding so much even a veterinarian wasn’t able to save him.

“Former French President Jacques Chirac was rushed to a hospital after being mauled by his pet dog who is being treated for depression, in a dramatic incident that rattled the ex-president’s wife.”

“VALLEY CENTER —— The top official at the San Pasqual Indian Reservation said he was very concerned about the recent dog attacks in the Paradise Mountain area, but he maintains that the reservation was not to blame.
Allen Lawson, chairman of the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians’ Tribal Council, said he believes wild dogs —— not dogs owned by residents on the reservation —— attacked two horses and killed two dogs earlier this year.
“This is going too far —— blaming the reservation,” said Lawson, adding that dogs have also attacked residents and animals on tribal land but that the dogs in question haven’t been linked to an owner on the reservation.
But that’s disputed by a half-dozen residents and livestock owners on Sunset Vista Lane, just off tribal land.
They remain frustrated by tribal and county authorities who they said have not followed up with them on the attacks, which began in late January. Though no new attacks have been reported since March 18, many continue to carry shotguns and pistols for protection, they said.
Residents in the otherwise quiet community east of Valley Center believe the dogs, described as pit bulls, are owned by a man who lives just across from them, on the reservation.”

““When my sister got on the bus and left the puppy jumped on me and whimpered,” said Hauck.
Shortly afterward, the puppy’s father, a full-grown rottweiler named D.J attacked.
“He jumped on me and started biting me,” said Hauck, “It dragged me in the middle of the road.”
That’s when a neighbor and passing driver intervened, pulling the dog off and calling authorities.
The dog is registered to Bay County residents 38-year-old Janiero Nopez Johnson and 39-year-old Stephanie Deneir Johnson. They were arrested Thursday afternoon and charged with attack or bite by a dangerous dog, a felony.
“Pet owners should take the responsibility to keep their animals leashed or make sure that they don’t roam the neighborhood,” said Wice.
According to Florida statute, the dog will be held for 10 days and then destroyed. During that time, the owners are eligible for appeal. The puppy will remain in the custody of animal control until the investigation is complete.”

An 11-year-old Rappahannock County girl is hospitalized after authorities say she was attacked by pit bull on Tuesday.
Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office Major Scott Jenkins said deputies were called to the scene on Scrabble Road, off U.S. 522 around 5:30 p.m.
Jenkins said the attack occurred inside a residence while the victim was visiting a friend.
As deputies were on the way to the scene, Jenkins said the dog continued to attack the girl and a neighbor grabbed nearby objects and began hitting the dog in an attempt to stop the attack.
When authorities arrived, Jenkins said the dog had been coaxed into a kennel.
The girl received severe bite wounds to her face, neck, arms and legs.
She was taken by rescue squad to Culpeper Regional Hospital then transferred to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Jenkins said she was listed in stable condition.
Jenkins said the dog, a family pet, was euthanized. It is not clear what may have provoked the animal to attack.”

“A pit bull mix got out of its yard Easter Sunday morning in Jim Thorpe, fatally attacked another dog and hurt some people trying to save the smaller dog’s life, police said.
The dog killed the smaller animal and a man needed stitches on his nose to close a bite wound, police said.
Jim Thorpe police officer Leo Clements said the dog got out of a yard by crawling under a fence. About 8:30 a.m., it attacked the smaller dog and a group of people tried to intervene on W. Broadway, Clements said. He said the dog bit three of the people.
He said the pit bull mix will be quarantined at home for 10 days, as is department procedure when a dog attacks someone.”

“OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) — Three people were injured in Oshkosh when a family’s dog attacked them and caused severe facial injuries to an 8-year-old girl.
Police say the girl was playing with the 3-year-old dog, a pit bull terrier mix, when it attacked unprovoked Tuesday evening.
The girl underwent surgery at Theda Clark Medical Center in Neenah for facial and head injuries.
The girl’s older sister and her sister’s boyfriend were also injured when they tried to put the dog in a bedroom.
The dog was euthanized by the Oshkosh Area Humane Society at the family’s request.”
