Memphis Anchor Spreads Pit Bull Hate #PitBull

Oskar’s mom person here.  I don’t usually do the same post on Oskar’s blog as I do on Pet Blogs United, but I feel this issue warranted the duplication.  If you’re reading it twice, I apologize.

Picture from My Fox Memphis web page.

Ernie Freeman, Anchor on Fox13’s My Fox Memphis had this to say yesterday on his Twitter account @ErnieFreeman:

“Let me be clear…Pit-Bulls are savage beasts. #KillerPitBulls”

Then once he started getting a negative response sent up this sad message asking for supporters.

Click this picture and like the page.  Help me out. The Pit Bull owners are taking over my page.”

He touts himself as being a 4 time Emmy Award winner and alumni of Michigan State.  Being from Michigan I’m embarrassed about the latter.

I left this comment on his FB page.

It links to Corbins Guest Post on Blogville’s Pitty Post Day.

Today he says he is done discussing the topic.  In a another FB post I told him, “When you make a sweeping statement that “Pit Bulls are savage beasts” along with using #KillerPitBulls, you are using your platform to promote ignorance. You don’t get to decide to be done after such an attack on an innocent and loving breed of animal.”

I think My Fox Memphis has a right to know what people feel about their anchor’s views on Pit Bulls.  Here is their contact information.

We all know that Pit Bulls have a hard enough time without influential people in the media using their platforms for hate.  Let’s stand up to this bully.

I Zombified Us!

My friend Simba from Come Wag Along did a post where he zombified himself with a cool app on The Walking Dead website.

My peeps love The Walking Dead, so with some help from my mom person we deaded ourselves.  Scary pictures below!

I hope I didn’t scare you too much!  Do you like The Walking Dead?

A Really Good Laugh For Monday

I have to say we’ve been hurting a little over here are casa de Oskar, with the passing of some of our friends, my oldest boy John moving out & the flu hitting everyone, we’ve been snuggled on the couch instead of in front of the computer, but I promise that this granny will make you laugh.

Her life alert necklace & velcro tennies just make her even cooler!  Make sure to watch to the end.

My 17 year old boy Jack says he wishes he could dance as good as she does!

He’s Not Here, He’s There!

My oldest boy, John David, moved to another place.  A place that isn’t here. My boys live here, that’s how it’s supposed to work.

jdh

But John isn’t following the rules and now he lives there instead of living here.

There is an hour away from here.  Let me remind you that here is where my boys are supposed to be. Here with me, Oskar.

Now that John lives there this happened.

This is my boy’s leg & that is not me by his leg.

This is how I feel.

My mom person says that my boy John is 21 and this is what happens, but I know that what is supposed to be happening is for John to be living here instead of there, with me instead of that.  My mom person knows that too, because she has been very sad since John left here and went there.

If you need me I’ll be here waiting for my boy to come back from there. *Sigh*

The Red Boots Return

We had a thaw here in Michigan a few days ago & it brought out the return of my hated red booties.

015These dumb booties keep me from joyfully getting mud in between my toes.

018They don’t slow me down, look at me fly!

013I still wish I could just play in the mud though.  I try to get my people back by getting my woozle extra dirty!

Happy Valentines Day Bella!

Now I know that here in the US Valentines day isn’t until tomorrow, but for some reason that I don’t really understand, it already is tomorrow in Australia.  That’s where my  beautiful girlfriend Bella lives.

Valentines Bella

 

I am lucky enough to be escorting her to the Valentines Day Ball tomorrow evening.

Bella here is a picture of me to show you how I feel.

See you at the ball beautiful Bella!
