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

"Meow!"

Have a great day...and keep smiling!!!!!

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 07-03-06 Military Monday 07-04-06 Happy Birthday USA ~ 2006 07-05-06 Warm Fuzzy Wednesday

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

[dutchess]

His dog's name is Barney, he crashes on his bike sometimes, he likes working on his ranch, and his dad was POTUS.

Ah! John Quincy Adams. I knew it.

You two are having way too much fun LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

What a great picture of Chachi. He is DEFINATELY all boy!!!!

LOL. That you. He does love to have his picture taken.

BTW, hows MIL doing????

She's doing good. Getting along just fine at the assisted living place. She fits right in and it's like she's been there for years. Several new people have come in after her, so she feels like an old timer now. It's always awkward when you are the new kid on the block.

How's Dad doing?

[dutchess]

Hi Dave. Sorry I missed you last night. LOVE your birthday boys :o)

[Mama_Bear]

"That you."......Errrr....make that "thank you". LOL.

[dutchess]

Yes Happy Birthday Mr. President indeed. For some reason I thought it was last week. Good to see you "p" :o) (sorry, I don't do "change" well! ((((hugs))))

[dutchess]

Oh Meg. Posting dog pictures!! Just for us!!!! And they are so darn ugly that they are adorable! ((((meg))))

[dutchess]

Hi stopem. It's amazing how attached we get to our pets isn't it. Actually my screen name was the name of the first dog Mr. D. and I got when we married. She was kind, loyal and loving...all the qualities I try to strive for. Good luck for your seach for a scotty!

[dutchess]

Oh kitty...I don't think I ever saw the lovely graphic Dolly made for you of Fang Face. So very sweet. You two had such a special bond. Praying for your continued good health.

[dutchess]

Ah...lovely tribute to our wonderful president! Thanks!

[dutchess]

As always thanks for bringing us the daily devotional. Also, really enjoyed the pictures of your visit to your grandmother. What a special time that must have been for you (AND her).

[dutchess]

Dolly...love the grouping of horses and a fawn. Simply beautiful!

[Billie]

Oh, sistah! I liked each *saying* better than previous one! I LOVE this thread! But probably because I love dogs so much! There has been so little time in my life when a dog wasn't part of it. From pedigrees to mutts, I love them all!

[dutchess]

My dog is definitely nicer than the average person ;).

Mine too :o) Sweet pet pic Geebee!

[dutchess]

Hi lysie. Prayers for Ivory.

[dutchess]

Thanks for stopping in skr...yes dolly's pics are really neat. P.S. Love your tagline!

[pax_et_bonum]

You two are having way too much fun LOL!

It's my secret method of staying so young-looking:

Nobody notices the wrinkles when they're staring at your infantile behavior.

[Jemian]

Well, I don't have a Harley for my dogs, but here they are with my Suzuki Shogun.

Merah is on our left and Tippy (now deceased) is on the right.
They are both dingoes.

In the left picture, the two are in our driveway and in the right, Tippy is about to "shake hands."

They're really great dogs; Tippy especially was.

[JustAmy]

Dutchess .... thank you for today's Pet Thread.
I haven't looked thru my pictures yet but ...
I wanted to wish our President the
Happiest Birthday ever.

[Jemian]

Thank you for posting this great list of our Freeper Military. My name is on it with my son listed as the military person. That is correct and I thank you. Is it possible to add his FR name to the list? It is JemiansTerror and he should be listed as ACTIVE DUTY. He has always liked to play in a sand box.

[Mama_Bear]

Great looking dogs!
