How fitting! A dog photo to HairOfTheDog ;-)

The newly bred poodles, usually born less than 100 grams (0.24 pounds), became popular in a small pet boom. The puppy is tagged for 650,000 yen ($5509). (AP Photo/Katsumi Kasahara)

Good Night, GR!

[Jim Robinson]

Just in:

$50 from Connecticut
$20 from Idaho

Thank you Connecticut and Idaho!!

Closing in on the half-way point. And then I'll roll in the monthlies. Should get a sudden boost from 50% to 80%! Go FReepers!!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

You are both more than welcome. You guys are awesome.

[Cathryn Crawford]

I'm glad to be included in your list of favorite FReepers. :-)

[Just another Joe]

Good night, y'all. I'm hittin' the sack also.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

You're not a malcontent! A wise-ass, yes - malcontent, no. : )

(I will take this opportunity to say that you are, imo, the funniest guy here...so thank YOU for the laughs.)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

My pleasure, Cathryn. It's fun thinking of all the people around here that I like - I'm sure a few people are probably even surprised they're on my list. LOL (But I hope you're not!)

[Chad Fairbanks]

I'm surprised she's on your list heh heh heh...

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks Jim!!!

Closing in on the half-way point. When we hit 50%, we'll roll in the monthlies (similar to cutting in the rocket boosters!) and we'll be heading down the home stretch!

Woo Hoooo! I love it when the boosters kick in!!!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Thanks, justshe - I think I might do one tomorrow night.

If anyone wants to pledge with me, here's the deal: I will pledge a $1 donation to FreeRepublic for each person who comes along and bumps the fundraiser thread within a certain time frame on the designated night - say, 6:00-10:00PST. All they have to do is bump with the words (and a graphic, if they want) "BUSHBOT BUMP".

When we did the last one, several people also pledged a dollar for each Bushbot Bump, and we raised a little bit of money for FR - and it was lots of fun.

So I'm thinking tomorrow, or maybe Friday night - whatever you guys think might be the busiest time. I'll make a little announcement, and I hope rin will let us post it over on the Dose thread too.

Anyone who wants to pledge with me (not necessarily a dollar - could be ten cents each, or five cents, or five bucks - whatever you want) just post your intent on the fundraiser thread and flag me, please.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

You are NOT. LOL (You take that back right now, Fairbanks!)

[Cathryn Crawford]

Surprised I'm on her list, Chad? But what about the trucker's hat? I'm going to go cry now!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Oh - and BUSHBOT BUMP pledgers: You can set a donation limit. Mine is usually $100, but you can do anything you want, of course. Some people do $25, $50 - whatever.
