Celebrating National Dog Day
EDIT – I published this article a day late. Working too many nights, my schedule got off track. This is one of the reasons why I only run a website and not a group. I’m not the best organizer.
Today is National Dog Day. We would like to celebrate National Dog Day and encourage you to celebrate it as well. National Dog Day is not about Michael Vick nor the NFL. It is a travesty that on National Dog Day Michael Vick is so prominently featured by the NFL and the Eagles.
In this time of recession and world wide conflict, it is difficult but if you have the means and the disposition we’d encourage you to consider supporting National Dog Day, adopting a dog, or taking action to support dog and animal welfare. We ask you to do this in balance with your support for other causes as well, but on National Dog Day, don’t neglect this particular cause. The world does have many problems confronting it on many levels, but we are fortunate that in our humanity, we can exercise the ability to engage many issues simultaneously.

I have added HSUS (http://www.hsus.org/) to the list of organizations I am sending letters to. While not technically a corporate sponsor of the NFL/Eagles/Vick, this debacle would have been hard to pull off without them. In fact, when I talk with people who are ‘on the fence’ HSUS’s continued support is the reason they give for not protesting. Getting HSUS to withdraw support (particularly following Vick’s obvious lack of commitment to his sobriety; addiction being the excuse he gave for his behavior) would be a great step towards fixing this wrong.
PS: National Dog Day was 8/26. It is great you put up the link, though because every day is dog day!
lol I’ve been working too much. I kept thinking today was Wednesday! Couldn’t understand why the news reports seemed to be off a day.
Quite the dog lover, does not even remember the date. hmmm, could it be because this site is an instrument to make money and dogs come in a distant second? Let’s have a poll, all 24 of you that post on here what do you think? hahahahahaha
If you look back, you will see we announced the date several days ago. This article was written to publish on a future date. I must have clicked on the wrong date in the drop down box.
That was compounded by my working all night the last few nights and waking/ half waking up today and not catching the mistake.
Odd how even in my half wakefulness, I can still debate circles around you Rich as you try to defend Michael Vick.
Don’t get me wrong, your rhetoric is not without a certain amount of ability, but you are defending a person and situation that is indefensible.
I am not defending anyone. I am giving another human a chance at redemption.
What are you doing? You are making life miserable for about 18 guys in the midwest who are not going to get their supper on time because their wives are on this site all day thinking they are making a difference.
So do you make money off this site or not??? This is the third time I asked this of you.
I apologize Rich, I assumed you could add and subtract, let me help you with that a little. Cute replying out of the comment thread of our other discussion.
Your most recent request http://www.sackvick.net/2009/08/24/what-are-the-best-ways-to-protest-the-philadelphia-eagles-michael-vick-other-violent-felons-in-the-nfl/comment-page-1/#comment-1991

So since you want to ask the same question(ignore the responses) possibly because you do not know how to add and subtract, here’s the break down.
Hosting Expenses
$600
$600
$500
= Total Cost $1700
Revenue (lets assume that we are eventually actually paid to keep this simple for you)
$125 ads
$50 t-shirts
total Revenue = $175
Net lost $1525.00
or alternatively expressed from a break even perspective….
This site needs to earn $1525 before it will break even.
Now, that does not include design, maintenance, nor time spent. That’s all effort based, I could put a dollar amount to it if I chose using comparable rates for these services as provided in the market, but it doesn’t really matter as the endeavor is and has been underwater for quite some time.
Thanks for the info, so you are shitty at site hosting, got it.
Why not reach out to the widwestern housewives you have garnered a kinship with? Maybe they will throw you a couple of dollars or at least mail you a pie or two. Maybe some hairpie? I have a feeling you have not had that in a while. hahahahahaha
The expense is my contribution to an effort I believe in. Others can do what they see fit.
Men who question others’ masculinity are usually the ones who are very worried about their own
Rich, your comments are offensive in the extreme
You got me, and who says it is hard to find a good psychologist?
And I was not really questioning his masculinity, just commenting that it has probably been a long time since he was laid.
You know there is a train of thought that when searching for reasons for others actions that we often look into our own in-built issues for answers. So right back at ya.
That aside, lighten up francis.
It’s probably why you are so drawn to Vick. Men like him use pitbulls to bolster their own hypermasculinity and consider empathy to be a weakness so when their dogs lose, it threatens their own sense of manhood
Two for two Francis, go put your Morrissey record on.
Also notice that you think the reason for Vick heinous acts are because of a masculinity issue as well. hmmm there is that train of thought about transference again.
for the record, not drawn to Vick at all, i am forgiving of another fellow humans vile acts. Ever try it yourself?
So sorry you’re gone, Rich and the other personas you were posting comments under. Now I won’t have a chance to forgive your heinous vile posts or for you to see yourself in this story which describes how Michael Vick serves people like you who need to prove that they are bigger, stronger and meaner than women (and other men)

Hey Rich, personal attacks aside, I’m glad to see you coming around to our way of thinking, utilizing comedy references to make a point (Stripes quote re ‘lighten up Francis’).
Before you know it, you will be on the anti felon band wagon next.
Keep in mind, I’m not trying to convince you to change, but for an intelligent person, it can be very hard to remain on the wrong side of an argument and lose all the time.
stay on the path grasshopper you might just find your way eventually.
Don’t worry, if he craps the bed on the field, or if say, Leonard Little breaks McNabbs leg, I will be sending you a check.
thanks for posting the article. i forgot about it too while working. Vick trolls pretty much say the same things over and over every thread, every forum, every day. I’ve been reading their comments 2 1/2 years. You can’t even say I like black coffee without being called a racist.
