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!

Hi, John - you okay in your neck of the woods?

YooHoo, Aqua, are you here today? :)

[OldFriend]

A really special day. I'm not sure why this thread loaded right up and there were those hilarious doggies.

Awesome!

[MEG33]

This is a nice break from the insanity,indeed!..

[Billie]

I'm sure I'm not the only one crying after reading your post. That was so touching and so beautiful, BlueLancer.

[MEG33]

Oh, Weinie! I thought of you when reading this thread....

Glad to see you all are working for Dubya!

[Billie]

I'm glad you got it loaded quicker this time, OldFriend. Actually, I have to set my preferences to just 20 posts per page because we're such a graphics-heavy daily, and I'm on dialup. It's the only way I can handle it. :) (Hey, but we're worth it!) :)

[Billie]

This is a nice break from the insanity,indeed!..

Yes, I love these cute and fun ones! But now I'm off to see what nasty stuff the ugly side is up to today.

[Gabz]

Hi Billie........Bye Billie!!!!!!!!!!!!

heading out to the store...will be back!!!!!!!

[MEG33]

I've been there already...That's why this is SO nice!

[BlueLancer]

"I'm sure I'm not the only one crying after reading your post."

I know .. I almost "hate" going to that website because, every time I do, whether I read the one about the dogs or the cats, I start crying and, as I'm usually in my office when I do so, it tends to attract attention.

Dighton, a dear friend of mine here at FR, guided me to that website after my "brought-in-from-the-cold-stray" cat, Oma, died of an intestinal cancer about two years ago, shortly after 9-11. Although we have since adopted another stray (a 6-oz 10-day old kitten abandoned by its mother on our front patio), I still get somewhat emotional when thinking about Oma.

Hi Meg. Glad you liked the thread. With all the election craziness going on "Giz" thought it was time for something light and cute.

[dutchess]

Thanks Mayor....and, as always, thanks for the Daily Bread.

[dutchess]

DRIVEBY G'morning to y'all. Have a nice day -- see you soon!

Driveby Good Afternoon back at ya! Looking forward to tomorrows essay which I'm sure will be perfectly illustrated by Aqua!

Oh my Blue. I forgot all about that touching Rainbow Bridge story. Thanks for posting it here (I say with tears in my eyes but a smile on my face)

[dutchess]

Hi brotha Louie. Glad you liked Giz's thread...knowing your soft spot for our canine friends...he hoped you'ld be pleased.

I can relate to that! Let me take this opportunity to wish a happy dog day to FReepers everywhere. Love Ink

Happy ending are nice aren't they??? Love back at you. Giz

Wait until you get to hear all about Rusty. He's something!

[dutchess]

Hi Lori. Giz says thanks....(and wanted you to know "mom hasn't forgotton about working on an Ohio thread").

Have a great day sistah!

[dutchess]

Hi Gabz. Glad you liked the thread and thanks for posting the picture of your darling little girl with the kitties. Very sweet!

[dutchess]

Hey Weinie. Good to hear from you (can't believed its been a year since you went to rainbow bridge) Codee says you are doing a bang up job with the re-election campaign!

Love - Giz

P.S. Give Codee a great big lick from me :o)
