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.

Good night and sleep well, AZ. Thanks for all you do for our troops.

We may be making some progress. The "freeze up" and "shutdown all by yourself" demons are still here, but I just found out an hour ago that the IT person I've called a half dozen times in 3 days, is OUR IT PERSON!! SHE STAYS when the tech goes.

Light isn't hitting them right.

Program from hell.

I'm not sure. I don't know when she got here, but I have her cell phone number, and I'm not afraid to use it. LOL!

As you can see I'm back and on line just long enough to get the threads I'd planned for tonight up. Now it's bed time. Good Night.

Hi Kathy. We were mid 40s yesterday. It is really noticible that the days are getting longer, and in a week and a half we change the clocks.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Pusterfuss..(HUGS))......just getting ready to find my pillow and blankie. Our yesterday was pretty much the same, and the longer days are indeed noticable. Still freezing at night, makes terrible driving in the morning.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Thumbellina.....wow! your daughter is good!! You both did great.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Thumbellina.....wow! your daughter is good!! You both did great.
