Dear Heroes
Thank You For Your Service. We are lucky to have you protect us. Please stay safe. You are very special and we love you. I will send some letters and pictures. I know you are too busy to write back. I hope my letters bring you a smile.
Love GeeBee Jr.

Hello, my name is Gee Bee Jr. I'm excited to do a thread for the Canteen! I hope you enjoy. I'd like to share with you how we got our dog. I'd love to hear about your pet(s)!

After years of my Mom trying to convince my Dad, we were finally going to get a dog. One day we went looking for our new dog. My Mom and I went to a shelter. We didn't find a dog. As we were driving home, I had a paper from the shelter that gave other dog shelters with phone numbers. I saw another shelter that we could visit and told my mom. My Mom said, she had enough looking for the day and the last shelter just broke her heart. We wanted to bring all the dogs home. I did talk her into calling.

My Mom called the shelter and they said, two puppies had just arrived an hour ago. We went to go see them. When we got there, Spot or as we call her now, Audie, our dog was there with her brother. We fell in love. My dad didn't want a dog but he loves her so much now. She greets him with excitement every night when he returns home. She is a Dachshund/Terrier mix. Here's a picture of our dog. Look at her eyes, they are so sweet.

I love having Audie to play with, cuddle with and take walks with. She has become a member of our family.

Yelling at me for barking...I'M A DOG, YOU NUMBSKULL!

Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly Whose walk is this anyway?

Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose...Stop it!

Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew Your stuff up when you're not home.

The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Woooo-Hooooooo! Oh, what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I Freak out every time we go back!

Dog sweaters. Hello??? Haven't you noticed the fur?

Here are a few websites, I have enjoyed visiting.

This is a website, you pick a dog or two, and you get to take care of it, breed it, do tricks and even go into shows.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

OK, sent you flowers but I posted them to myself LMAO. So you can go and look at the flowers meant for you. My husband was also born in Germany. His father was a communications officer in the Army. My hubby is a comm officer as well but AF. We are moving to Scott AFB soon from Hawaii. We are all excited. Hubby wasn't deployable from PACOM, but when we leave here his deployment window reopens. Thank your son for his service and your hubby!

Welcome to the Canteen, Thumbellina, where we honor our troops, our veterans, their families, and our allies every day. We are here 24(mostly)/7/365 to provide a place for our military to stop in, pull up a chair, and enjoy a joke, hear a song (requests taken), read some history, enjoy a cyber meal (no calories), hear about our families lives, join in the silliness, and just relax. And thanks to your hubby for his service to America. And thanks to you and your family, who service as well.

[Thumbellina]
