A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Welcome Finest Friends. Giz and Friends here. JohnHuang2 asked us to "sub" today. Thought we would share what our human friends say about us. ENJOY! ( AND...as always feel free to add your own)

Dog Philosophy

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
-Anonymous

Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.
-Ann Landers

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
-Will Rogers

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
-Ben Williams

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
-Josh Billings

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.
-Andy Rooney

We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return…dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.
-M. Acklam

I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult.
-Rita Rudner

A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.
-Robert Benchley

Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog.
-Franklin P. Jones

If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.
-James Thurber

If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise.
-Unknown

Ever consider what our dogs must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul -- chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!
-Anne Tyler

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
-Robert A. Heinlein

You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'Wow, you're right! I never would've thought of that!'
-Dave Barry

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
-Roger Caras

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them.
-Phil Pastoret

(AND for your cat people...taada) Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
-Robert A. Heinlein

"Meow!"

Have a great day...and keep smiling!!!!!

Welcome Finest Friends. It's Another Finest Pet Day (as JohnHuang2 is getting a well deserved vacation) Please stop in and see what "real people" from the right and left have to say about us "furry friends"!!!!

[pax_et_bonum]

This is my Sheltie puppy, Dubya.

Betcha can't guess who he's named after.

;-)

(He's also six months old now so he looks quite different from this photo.)

[pcottraux]

Betcha can't guess who he's named after.

I give up.

[dutchess]

Oh my...we had a beloved sheltie..., Codee, looks just like yours. Lost her two years ago at age 13. Loved the little girl. Smart things aren't they?????

[pax_et_bonum]

I give up.

lol!

[dutchess]

Betcha can't guess who he's named after. I give up.

LOL...I'll let you two play. Bedtime here!

[pcottraux]

At least a hint?

[dutchess]

Here's my sweet codee when she was a pup! They are smart sweet, stubborn wonderful loyal dogs!!! Enjoy!!!

[pax_et_bonum]

Yes, they're very smart and well-mannered.

Dubya's also more than a little goofy - more like the Collies I've always had than a Sheltie!

I took him to the vet the other day and when we left he crashed at full speed into the exit door, which was glass.

It made him even more excited and was very entertaining for the folks in the waiting room.

[pax_et_bonum]

Wow!

They do look a lot alike!

She was beautiful!

[pax_et_bonum]

At least a hint?

Okay, one hint. But that's all so don't ask again. ;-)

Let's see...

His dog's name is Barney, he crashes on his bike sometimes, he likes working on his ranch, and his dad was POTUS.
