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!

For my backeast and up north FRiends

That looks very familiar.. : )

We are having a brilliant spring day here..still chilly but will warm up to 70.

I am trying to remove the heavy bricks that seem to be piled on my chest and to prepare myself if the news is worse.

I know what you mean. We brought spot to the vet the day before he went. When I returned to the office the next day, I pretty much knew what they were going to recommend. It's still not easy. I need to find all my good dog pics and scan them into the computer. All I have right now is kid pictures.



I found them like this one afternoon. It was too cute.



These two were at VA Beach for Thanksgiving. It was a little chilly, but they enjoyed the sand.

[spotbust1]

That would be great. I appreciate you.

[The Mayor]

Only around 30 here.... so much for spring.

Adorable children, Spotbust! Seeing these darling pictures is a spirit lifter for me!

Spotbust..I grieve hard and long..and I flunk “getting over it” quickly.I remember every dear pet loss I have had and I thank God that they were in my life, gave me joy and that I had the opportunity to love them. I miss them all..

I have a once starving stray, Silky, that my daughter rescued now..I was slow to accept her designation as mine as I was in my “never going to hurt like this again mode” after losing a beloved kitty to cancer..I love that I have her now, of course.

Those are the Sweetest Pictures, spotbust1! Just Darling!

Meg, your #137 is One of the Most Stunning Posts you have Ever Made; just Breathtaking! Trubble is still in my Prayers. (((((Hugs)))))

[spotbust1]

Thanks for the compliment on the children. I think they are pretty cute also, but then again they are mine.

You are right about never forgetting a pet. I have one in particular that still brings tears to my eyes. When I was about 7, we had to put our dachshund down. Butch was my best friend from the time I could roll over I think. We were inseparable. He was a bit of a roamer and would escape any fence we put up and run away to go cruising the local singles scene.

I still have dreams about him coming home from being gone for a long time. I missed him most until now. I was sad when we lost Lucky 2 months ago, but Spot was even harder.

I think we will probably get another pet one day, but we are going to wait at least until we can get a fence up so that it will have a safe place to play. Right now, I am enjoying feeding the fish in the pond in front of our house. So far I have counted 4 huge cat fish (over a foot long) and the thousands of tiny fish that around them trying to get a bite to eat. Fish are safe, I don't miss them as much when they die, or if I happen to catch one and eat it. ;-)

GOOD NEWS

Trubble's blood and urine readings improved and he is now at home..being watched closely and given antibiotics.

.My daughter is praising God. She wanted me to thank everyone who prayed for him.She gives all credit to the Lord.

I am cautiously optimistic and am so pleased he is home with my daughter. Thank you all so much! Thank you, Lord.

[DollyCali]

oh Meg, that is wonderful news(tears in my eyes).. I know she is relieved to have her baby home & you are also.. Praise God.

Tell her we will continue to pray for good kidney function & good clearing up of the problem..

Feel free to give her my email addy if she wants more into on the acid diet etc.

[DollyCali]

cute kids! thanks for sharing the pix..

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your Mercies!

[Billie]

WONDERFUL news, Meg! So happy it’s turned out this way. Know he’s going to be pampered and watched over very carefully. We do love our little furry friends - and our friends’ little furry friends, too. :)

[MEG33]

Thanking the Lord indeed..

Dolly, I have sent your entire post concerning the catsup,etc..She said both the emergency hospital and her regular vet said this was not related to diet..She has nevertheless been searching for a special food..She uses Royal Canin and they have one.
Hugs to everyone!

[jaycee]

So very glad to hear the news of Trubble. Sounds good so far!
Prayers can do miracles..we all know that! Hope he just continues to be better and better! Bless you and your daughter, Meg!

[MEG33]

Thank you(((jaycee)))I have heard nothing more so I assume all is well so far..She is having a new AC installed as the system failed in the midst of T’s grave condition..

She is so grateful for the prayers and concern of the Finest.
