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 200,000 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.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

This is a pleasant relief after a day deluged with Obamaniacal nonsense. Thanks for this and love those pictures. So nice.

I’m so sorry, DD..
I am awaiting word on my daughter’s kitty Trubble..one of 5 abandoned kittens I helped to survive and who was a constant buddy to me when I was staying with my daaughter..He is very young to have blocked kidneys..They are waiting to see if the catheter can come out and he can function..I lost an older male kitty with this so I am praying his kidneys function without reblocking ..
The vet said an older cat would have been dead already .He is at the vets of course.

*Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday*

Thank you, Billie, for our beautiful thread! The ping and
the pledge are both wonderful but the pledge has me wowed.

Sorry to hear about Cooper. We just brought our 12-year old mutt (Australian Shep/husky/??) back from the vet after he had his leg amputated with a tumor into the bone. The tumor wasn’t malignant, and after 10 days he is able to go a couple hundred feet before he poops out, so things are looking up.

My little girls had a friend over today and I guess they didn’t explain the whole thing very well to her. They showed her where the incision was. The friend asked “How did THAT happen?” Mom was there and said “That’s the cut that the vet made to remove his leg.” The little girl replied “Well, is he going to put in back ON?!” :)

ohhhh, how cute is THAT?! Hi Billie!

[SnarlinCubBear]

RIP Cooper. Say hi to all my loves at the bridge. It’s a very special place.

lovely graphic/table Meg..

[DollyCali]

awe, it is so hard for young ones to start understanding the medical problems that affect their pets, parents, grandparents & selfs.

I hope Cooper does well. If he was overweight it will be a bit harder for him to get around for longer periods of time. How great you were able to give him another chance to be a friend to you all.. They are family & we just hate when they have pain/problems

[DollyCali]

just noticed.. your pup’s name is NOT cooper.. sorry

[DollyCali]

Here is cooper.. and Dave, I am sorry for your daughter. Goldens are such loving & wonderful pets.. at any age it is a shame to have this happen..

[DollyCali]

oh Meg I hope Trubble is okay..

I have posted before but many may have missed it .. for both dogs & cats, an acid food in their diet regularly helps prevent urinary problems, stones etc.

For my pets I put catsup or spaghetti sauce in their food about 3 times a week. I mix it well with wet/dry food.

Learned this from the cat fancier’s club I was in. Most had catteries of many & expensive cats & they swore by it. It came up after I had the same experience as your daughter & mentioned it at a meeting.

I never again had a problem & have had a LOT of cats for a LOT of years.

I also add garlic to the food at the same time.

Thanks for fuzzy Wednesday Billie.. LOVE The pledge & the ping..

Raining pretty hard here the past two days. It turns to snow later today ...the weather man said had this all been snow it would have been 30 inches!!!!

My two warm fuzzies did NOT mind the hike yesterday with Pat/John & Johns two dogs.. and wont mind it again today. I am glad they are not picky about getting their fur or paws wet.

So precious, Billie. All the little flags are just perfect!

“A few of our favorite things”....puppies, kittens, jelly beans, and a darling Easter bunny. Excellent...

I am so sad over Cooper! Heard about your dog the other day and hated to hear the news. It can sure leave a crack in your heart!
