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

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

Dingoes are the wild dogs of Australia.

ah...the name should have been a giveaway to me...definately Australian sounding. Lovely dogs!!!

[Billie]

Beautiful, Dolly! How sweet and how tiny that fawn is! Interesting that the horses are paying no attention to it at all. :) Pretty horses, too! Can't tell if that one is a solid color (sorrel) or if it's a bit of a strawberry roan. Pretty though!

[dutchess]

Lovely tribute billie. Okay....now do we have to do "whose that dog????" Are they freeperpets or generic? Regardless....LOVELY!!! Thanks for "covering" :o)

[Billie]

What kind of puppies are they? Besides adorable. :) They all have blue eyes?

[Billie]

How cute! Love the pose, and looks like he *did* grow into those ears. :)

[dutchess]

Thoroughbred field trial bloodline goldens from Topbrass and Frisbee bloodlines. Wonderful dogs, except Hunter is an escape artist par excellence...

Well..they are lovely and Golden's are a wonderful breed. Plus we can relate to escape artist. We "adopted" Rusty via FreeRepublic from an LA shelter 2 years ago...Rodesian Ridgeback. He thinks he's a lapdog in a 65 lb solid body BUT has "issues" and has gone through atleast 8 screens, destroy more fences but is the biggest loving "LUG" I've ever had. God bless our furry friends :o)

[JustAmy]

I've also added Jemian's Terror to my military prayer list.

Jemian's Terror ..... thank you for your service to our great country.

God Bless our military.

[dutchess]

Need to run..."dad duty"...thanks for jumping it!!! :o)

[deadhead]

Happy Birthday President Bush :-)

Billie made this wonderful graphic, with my pup Lucy in it, I love it! Thank You, Billie. Dubya is 'petting' Lucy, dutchess's pup Giz is on the right.

Prayers for our dear Freeper Friend, Ladyx.

[JustAmy]

Hi Dutchess.

I didn't get a post made this morning because I was looking for a President Bush picture.

Thanks for today's thread. PrissyMissy loves the Pet Threads and the Warm Fuzzy Threads. She always wants to know everything about every picture.

[Billie]

They are generic dogs, but they remind me of Weinie, Bailey, and Giz!!!

[Billie]

Perfect for President Bush's birthday and our Doggie thread!

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL! :)

[MEG33]

Oh, Dolly, the fawn is so small nest to those large horses! Thank you for sharing this.

[ConorMacNessa]

Sorry Billie - Don't know.

[JustAmy]

The little one said, "Roll over"

Have a great Thursday.

I love all the pet pictues.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Exactly...Good goldens are wonderful, loving and great to have even if they drive us crazy from time to time!

I don't think Hunter or Amber ever saw a person they didn't like...but Amber does not like other dogs. She will do things to get other dogs in trouble, like sit quietly by the fence, just looking until the neighbor's dog gets all wound up.

She's getting to be an old lady, too...Around 13. Velvet's 12, and Hunter is 7.



My two babies when they were both younger...

[MEG33]

I love that graphic..I have loved seeing all the pictures, today!

[Mama_Bear]

Speaking of wonderful dogs, I watched this movie last night. The acting from the "humans" could have been a bit better and the humor was a little silly in places (after all, it is a Disney movie), but it didn't matter one bit because the scenery was breathtaking and these gorgeous, intelligent dogs stole the show. It's a great family movie along the lines of Old Yeller and Homeward Bound - The Incredible Journey.

Knowing the basic story, I was sure I would cry all the way through it, but I didn't. I will admit that I could not hold back the tears at the end though.

[ConorMacNessa]

Glad to hear this, Mama Bear - we just got the movie on Netflix.
