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!

Hi..Giz here...It's been awhile since I did a thread...have been busy with summer vacations and trying to keep my recently adopted little BIG brother Rusty in line. (He has a thing about walking through screens...lot of oops in our house lately) But that's for another day...and I promise you soon. Today we read what some of our finest canine friends might write to God...These were sent to mom but thought they were cute enough to illustrate. ENJOY!

DEAR GOD FROM THE DOG

Dear God, When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear God, Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?

Dear God, If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?

Dear God, We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear God, More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.

Dear God, Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom if ever, smell one another?

Dear God, When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake a paw to get in?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear God, Why do my owners go to the bathroom in the best freshwater bowl in the house?

Dear God, Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?

Dear God, Let me give you a list of a few things I must remember to be a good dog :

I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it, or after they throw it up.

I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.

The sofa is not a face towel; neither are Mom and Dad's laps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.

My head does not belong in the refrigerator.

I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and registration.

I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying 'hello.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.

I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.

I will not throw up in the car.

I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cat is not a squeaky toy; so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay...Giz back here...hope you enjoyed this...let me add one more...as many of you know I was a "dumped stray" who was "taken in" by my folks as many of our FreeperPets have been....Before I take my nap let me add.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear God, in case I haven't said so....thanks for finding us such special homes on earth especially for those of us lucky to live with Freepers. Life is good!

Good morning, favorite wolfie!

[Gabz]

What a great read!!!!!!!!!!

[Gabz]

How beautiful......brought tears to my eyes.

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, all. Happy day to you!

[Gabz]

Good morning Mama Bear!!!!!

[MEG33]

Thank you for the touching post...

[Mama_Bear]

Gabz (HURRAY!!!!!!!! School started yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!)

LOL!!! Spoken like a truly frazzled mother! Been there, done that!

Now, with all your "free time", you will surely be wanting to jump right into compiling some information and graphics for our Delaware presentation, huh? ;-)

Not exactly, but I will start working on it. Can you give me a few ideas of what it is you are looking for?

[Mama_Bear]

Not exactly, but I will start working on it.

Just teasing. There really is no hurry. I have about 24 other states that I can work on. Enjoy the peace and quiet while you can.

Can you give me a few ideas of what it is you are looking for?

Okay. When I set out to present a state I try to keep it positive and upbeat, regardless of it's politics. (It was really a challenge with CA. LOL!) I research a little of the history, then the things that make the state unique, also what's to see and do there. I also look for graphics and photos to include, the states symbols, etc. Then I compile it all together like a travel brochure. That's about it.

As I said, there really isn't any hurry. Since you know Delaware so well, you would have a better idea where to start, and you can do as much or as little as you want. Any help is greatly appreciated. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Saying an extra little prayer for our Floridians, and for you two,.........that your move there goes well and on schedule. I know how long you have waited for this and how much this means to you.

Good morning, favorite wolfie!

Good morning to *you*, favorite fuzzy. : )

[Gabz]

When I set out to present a state I try to keep it positive and upbeat, regardless of it's politics. (It was really a challenge with CA. LOL!)

Upbeat and positive.........you don't understand, I was DESPERATE to escape!!!!!!

Currently nearly the entire state is mired in horrendous scandals........from the smallest municipalities all the way up to the Governor's office; and the Republicans are more left leaning than the democrats.......

Positive and upbeat????? ROFLMAO!!!!!

OTOH I was heaped with praise and accolades by the state tourism office back when I was a reporter for a series of stories I did when they had launched a new state tourism slogan - so I am very familiar with things to do and see there.

[Mama_Bear]

LOL!!! You are so cute!! Never know what wolfie is going to pull out of his graphics grab-bag.

Okay, brace yerself wolfie. Here come a couple sweet ones, one for now and one for later...........

[Mama_Bear]

Positive and upbeat????? ROFLMAO!!!!!

LOL! Yes, I know. Some states are more difficult (if not impossible) than others.

Great! I know you will do a great job of helping to present Delaware in a positive light. And, if we wait long enough, maybe, like California, Delaware will be blessed with her own "terminator" who will come along and clean things up. ;-)

[Gabz]

.....and of course Fred!!!

Still looking for the pictures of the pooches, both of whom are currently surrounding my chair making it nearly impossible for me to move more than an inch or two!!! but in keeping with the theme of pets thought I would share this one. (which many of you have probably already seen)

We found these three cuties in the barn one morning last fall and promptly decided to allow them to call it home because the dogs never go near there. Well, the kittens discovered the dogs one evening after they had been here for about 2 weeks. These babies scared the willies out of the dogs......but sadly within about 2 days we never saw the kittens again.

Our daughter still begs us to get her a new barn kitten.

Hey, Giz!

Glad to see you back on the beat! I'm really busy up here running the Bridge re-elect committee for Dubya. Millie and Spot are doing great work!

I got here a year ago last Sunday. (Darn squirrels!) The Bridge hasn't been the same since!

Don't forget, I have 10!

Love,

Weinie

[Mama_Bear]

What a bunch of cuties! All three of them!

[The Thin Man]

Very cute, Giz. You and dutchess did good. Hope you and Rusty are getting along. I'd feel terrible if he ate you or something like that. :-)

[Billie]

Oh, how I've missed Giz and these cute threads! This one is just too cute for words and your illustrations are precious - all of them!

(You'll be needing this next time) :)

[Billie]

Morning, you two - nice to see you both over here today! A fun thread that has nothing to do with the doofus! LOL! I will be SO glad when this election is over and we don't have to hear about john kerry "I went to Vietnam" anymore...and MAYBE no more about President Bush's phoney AWOL story ever again.
