After all the years I’ve spent ranting at the media for sensationalizing every negative story involving a dog that looked the least little bit like a Pit Bull, I must congratulate Fox news DFW channel 4 for broadcasting a positive story and specifically mentioning that the dog involved was a Pit Bull.
Our boy Moses appreciates it, too.
WFAA also published a positive story and mentioned Brownie’s breed. Kudos to them as well!

UPDATE: I was informed today, 04/11/11 that Boss is no longer available. No other details have been provided.
Meet Boss. He’s a young dog, predominately or maybe even full blood American Pit Bull Terrier. He’s estimated to be around five or six months old.
Boss is a puppy with lots of energy. He is very friendly, and needs a firm hand and some training.
If you’re interested in giving this pup a home and you live in the DFW area, I will dedicate a couple of Saturdays during your first few weeks of ownership to get Boss obedience trained and to teach you how to continue his advanced training on your own.
Boss needs a trip to the vet for shots and a check up. The current foster parents rescued him but they don’t have the time or skill sets to deal with a rambunctious puppy; they are desperate to find him a home.
Unfortunately, the Frazier household is at it’s current limit with three dogs so we can’t even take him in on a temporary fostering basis.
Please give serious consideration to the initial expense in vet bills if you’d like to take this dog. He isn’t neutered and needs all the regular shots. You’re likely looking at an initial outlay of only two or three hundred bucks for all the routine stuff a pup this age needs since he appears to be very healthy.
He does need a trip to the vet soon, though, because mosquito season is right around the corner along with ticks, fleas, and all those other things that transfer baddies like heartworms and parvo to a young dog.
Time is starting to run out for Boss…
Call me at 817.366.5768 if you’re interested and I will arrange a meeting with the foster family.
Sure.
Just as soon as someone gives all the dogs he drowned, beat, electrocuted, and hanged to death a second chance.
That was my response to a few booger-picking morons on FaceBook a while back when Vick first made his victorious return to the National Football league. I haven’t watched a game since…not even the Cowboys.
I’ve been accused of being unforgiving. I’ve had people toss the “but you claim to be a Christian” phrase at me. My response? How can you claim to be a Christian yet defend this man who did some of the most evil things imaginable to poor dumb animals? I don’t have to forgive him; he didn’t drown, beat, or electrocute me. I’m fighting for the memory of those dogs, and that requires doing my best to keep Vick from having a comfy football star life.
And it requires me to not contribute any patronage to the NFL, an organization that is so interested in profit they are willing to allow employment of a dog torturer. What a shame that other players have to put up with his stink in their profession.
Vick served his time. True. That does not mean that it’s right and proper to give him a job in a national past time. Why isn’t he doing like any other ex-con? Proving himself in a fast food joint or filling pot holes? Not that that isn’t honest to goodness labor (I’ve done both those jobs myself).
Remember Pete Rose? Kicked out of major league baseball, banned for life for gambling. He may have deserved a second chance.
Michael Vick? He deserves to earn a meal or two each day and have a roof over his head, nothing more. And he ought to earn both by shovelling dog crap out of kennels at a rescue shelter…under close supervision.
All you sodding cartoon characters who think he deserves a second chance need to go think real long and hard about exactly what it would feel like to have jumper cables attached to the sides of your head, be submerged in water, and then have a few thousand volts juiced through your brain as your body convulses in spasms and expires. That’s just one of the methods the dirt bag you got a second chance for used to kill those dogs.
Like I said…find a way to give those poor dogs a second chance first.
Thanks to my buddy Jim for reminding me of this by forwarding this article about why some of us just aren’t going to “let it go”.
And God bless our friends at rescue organizations like Donna Reynolds, Tim Racer, and BADRAP who have no intentions of letting the world forget.
