ARABI – A five-year-old boy received 32 stitches and will require plastic surgery after he was attacked by a neighbor’s pit bull while in his family’s driveway Thursday night. The boy, whose name wasn’t released by the Sheriff’s Office, was treated at Tulane Medical Center after the incident in the 2200 block of Mehle Avenue in Arabi and has been released, St. Bernard Parish Chief Deputy Sheriff James Pohlmann said.
According to Pohlmann, the boy was outside playing with his Godfather in their driveway, when the pit bull, which was running free at the time, attacked the boy, biting him in the face before his Godfather hit the dog several times to get him to let go.
The dog’s owner, Rosalie Aguilar, 47, who said the animal had never hurt anyone before, was cited by parish animal control officers for allowing the seven-month-old male pit bull to run free.
Beth Brewster, director of animal control, said the owner signed the dog over to the parish and because he would be deemed vicious and non-adoptable because of the unprovoked attack, the animal will be held 10 days and then euthanized.
Why settle for "almost?"
The one compliment that would give me a sense of inadequacy.
"The Saint Augustine of Hippo Parish Organ"
Close only counts in horseshoes, huh?
I really must draw the line at your posting hippo organs.
Bad form, that.
Isn’t it ironic that she her wish is for you to be attacked by an animal?
Sounds like we should have a ban on pit goats.
I don’t hunt dogs. But the HC 5.5gpi arrows with 100gr points are good for around 370 fps with any of the newer bows set at 70 lbs or just over and they’re quite strong. being fired from 80 lb bows doesn’t hurt them or the bow despite the seemingly impossible weight. What you really don’t want is an arrow doing an impersonation of a sine wave or wet noodle coming off the strings and they always used to think you needed weight to prevent that, but it’s no longer true; IF the lighter arrow is stiff enough, and the HC arrows are, then the lighter weight just translates into greater velocity and the momentum stays roughly the same as does the energy being xferred from the bow to the arrow.
Pit + goat = Cabrito! Yum...
I keep hearing these things rarely happen...
The only halfway rational use for pit bulls that there is in real life is hog hunting and that does not go on in urban or suburban areas. Anybody who’d keep a pit bull in an urban or suburban area is a total jerk and whatever his neighbors decide to do about the pit bull should be preemptive; i.e. they shouldn’t wait for the pit bull to maul a child first.
OMG...you guys wasted Walpurgisnacht on *this*?!?
Well, happy Beltane, any way.

Have you ever stood in the April wood and called the new year in?
While the phantoms of three thousand years fly as the dead leaves spin?
There’s a snap in the grass behind your feet and a tap upon your shoulder.
And the thin wind crawls along your neck it’s just the old gods getting older.
And the kestral drops like a fall of shot and the red cloud hanging high
come a Beltane.
Have you ever loved a lover of the old elastic truth?
And doted on the daughter in the ministry of youth?
Thrust your head between the breasts of the fertile innocent.
And taken up the cause of love, for the sake of argument.
Or while the kisses drop like a fall of shot from soft lips in the rain
come a Beltane.
Happy old new year to you and yours.
The sun’s up for one more day, to be sure.
Play it out gladly, for your card’s marked again.
Have you walked around your parks and towns so knife-edged orderly?
While the fires are burned on the hills upturned in far-off wild country.
And felt the chill on your window-sill as the green man comes around.
With his walking cane of sweet hazel brings it crashing down.
Sends your knuckles white as the thin stick bites. Well, it’s just your groaning pains.
Come a Beltane. Come a Beltane.
Come a Beltane. Come a Beltane.
Come a Beltane. Come a Beltane.
Come a Beltane. Come a Beltane.
So you are for banning weapons too?
Plymouth made Scamps.
Maybe you’re thinking of the Dodge Dart Swinger?
[not that they’re really a dime’s worth of distance a’tween ‘em]....LOL
They put V8s in those things.
*Why*, I can’t even imagine.
Craptastic little cars.
My mom had one...:)
[all I want out of life is a ‘71 Hemi-Cuda...is that *so* much to ask? or a ‘69 Dodge Charger..I’m flexible]...;]
Life experiences help me draw on my responses... Plymouth Scamp on blocks with Beer cans and cigarette butts around the cracked oil stained pavement of her house....
The things we “do” as kids.
“but the rust must have eaten through the Plymouth decal “
LOL!
Quite likely.
Can you *believe* those little things are now highly desirable as “street rods”?
I’d die of shame.
Mom’s Dart got good gas mileage.
[and so ends everything “nice” I can say about it]....:)
Change “pavement” to “grass-free permanent dirt spot” and I’m on board...:)
