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!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT...The Story of Aquamarine and DaisyMae
Good day FR friends. We just learned that Aquamarine is our newest Finest hostess, which makes her Dutchess, our "mom's" newest "SISTAH"
.WHICH makes Aunt Aqua's "DaisyMae" MY NEWEST cousin. (WOW
what a complicated history
hope there's no inbreeding going on!)
Anyway, thought it appropriate to visit, and welcome "DaisyMae to "the fold". Although I've mainly traveled solo, thought Codee and FredtheCat would enjoy a visit to the beautiful mountains of northern Georgia. So
off we go!
Codee: Aqua and Mr. A. greet us, show us around their lovely "retreat" and introduce us to the much loved Daisy.
Gizmo: Sheesh
what's with all this lovely
much loved
.three syllable "poetic" words
,. geesh...she's a DOG
.not some flower, or like a "special lady" like Aunt Billie or LadyX.
Codee: Giz
.you've done well up to now
now it's time to "let the elders" take charge. Miss Daisy is very special
and deserves special attention
PLUS a "female perspective"
(by now
FredtheCat has "bolted", crossed the "invisible fence" and is chasing all sorts of "varmints". She yells back that she hasn't had this much fun since she visited Billie's Roscoe in Texas! Gizmo follows leaving Codee to start the interview
Codee: I hear you weren't the "first". I wasn't either. Mom and Dad swore they would never get another dog after their dear sweet Dutchess died. Was it "love at first site for you?"
Daisy: Well
a little history
.
I'm Mom's third Beagle. I'm the first "girl" The other two were boys...first one a boyfriend gave her when she was 17. He was a beagle that had gotton lost in the woods during a fox hunt. Harold was a "ladies man". He got locked up one time in the dog pound for climbing a 6 ft. fence to get to an expensive female dog that was in heat. Oh the stories
..stories about him that were unbelievable. He was something else.
Beauregard was the second beagle. "Dad"bought him for mom when they were engaged. He was a pure bred, big fat baby that liked to eat. Was always climbing or digging under the fence so he could raid the neighbors garbage cans.
Codee: I'm sensing a sad moment here
something about Beau
Daisy: Sadly Beau was hit by a car
.Mom and dad were devastated and decided never to "love another dog again."
Codee: Yes
.well
I know that's how my folks were too. Can you tell me a little about yourself before you found "your loving home"
Daisy: I don't remember much except I was "dumped in the woods" with my puppies
..I tried to care for them as much as possible
.I would hang out at the side of a road and some nice people from the store down the street would "toss food my way" but it wasn't enough to save my babies
.. Although I fought like heck
some wild animal got to them. I still have a big bite mark above my eye trying to save them.
Codee: Oh my
that is so very sad
.
Daisy: Yes it was
I was major depressed
and was running into the traffic when the owner of the store scooped me up
..and brought me to the store for safekeeping. They already had two labs so couldn't "adopt" me
but "had a plan" Mom came in later that afternoon and the woman asked her to sit down and rock me...saying I was really sweet.
(Daisy goes off for a moment and Aqua stops in to see if everything is okay. I asked her first impressions)
Aquamarine: She smelled terrible, probably never had a bath and my lungs closed up as I have asthma. But when I saw she still had milk in her breast I just felt like life had been too cruel to her and wanted to take care of her. (as Daisy returns Aqua gives her a pat on the head and leaves me to finish the interview)
Daisy: I was so scared but mom was so sweet
and comforting. I nuzzled in her lap and knew I found a home. IT WAS love at first sight.
Codee: How very special
Daisy: Yes it was
.
Codee: So what's it like now????
Daisy: It doesn't get much better. Well
mom and dad were so afraid that I would suffer the same fate as "beau" that they got an invisible fence
and shock collar. NOT FUN! BUT I do understand it's for my own good. I do have a tendency to get excited and wanting to chase things. You know I'm a hunter by instinct!
Gizmo: (running wildly back through the invisible fence with Mr. Rabbit in tow) Hehehehee
Yeah right
hunter my tail! Mr. Rabbit has been telling tales on you Daisy. From what I hear, the only thing you can "catch" has to be at least 4 weeks gone!
Mr. Rabbit: You should see her try to chase me. What a poor hunter! She loses the trail going in a circle for five minutes. I always slip away with no problem. (but we have FUN!)
Gizmo: Codee
NOW WE'RE HOPPING
.get it
bunny rabbit
hopping?????? How about you and daisy take a little break and I'll find out a little more from Mr. Rabbit. Time for a guy thing
you "gals" are just getting too mushy!
(daisy and codee go for a walk)
Gizmo: So
Mr. Rabbit. Is life as good for Daisy as she says?
Mr. Rabbit: Couldn't get much better. She has four beds! One in the laundry room where she sleeps during the cold winters, another in the garage and one more on the back patio in her dog house. She's been staying there a lot lately...she has a better view of the yard and woods back there plus that's where we all hang out and "play." And she loves to smell the flowers!
Oh
and of course the bed in the living room where she hangs when Aqua is freeping. (a common occurance in the household
don't you know!)
Gizmo: Anything else you want to add?
Mr. Rabbit: Well
it's pretty amusing when the "folks" are gone for a while and come home. She acts a little huffy about them ever leaving her but her tail is wagging and she can't stay mad long.
Gizmo: So
Aunt Aqua is clearly a music freak! Is DaisyMae into all kinds of music?
Mr. Rabbit: Actually no
she hates classical and "mellow" stuff but LOVES banjo and bluegrass!
Mr. Rabbit: Shssshhshhh
I have a little secret
Aqua is "a little overprotective" but on the cool summer nights when she and dad go to bed
well Daisy has the best parties for all us mountain varmints
definitely bluegrass
. Actually she has one planned for tonight
in your honor!
Gizmo: Just now Codee and FredtheCat return and Aqua feeds us a lovely "spread" on the Patio
freepmails mom to say we're fine til the morning and leaves us enjoying the moonlight.
Gizmo: As the lights go out
..the PARTY BEGINS
.DaisyMae certainly has an assortment of friends
.We partied until the WEE hours of the morning.
Gizmo: As the sun rises
we realize it's time to go home. Aquamarine and DaisyMae were special hostesses but I'm ready to nestle in mom's lap. So
FR friends
as I rest my weary head all I ask is that you give your special FRPETS an extra hug and a special treat! See you all next week!

Actually good night for me! (it's off to bed time for me! :-))
To: dutchess; Aquamarine
What a sweet story about DaisyMae! It had me smiling and then tearing up, then smiling again. Codee and Gizmo show a real talent for the art of the interview. I like their style. ;-)
Aqua, bless you and Mr A. for opening up your heart and home to that sweet little Daisy. I can see how she wrapped you around her little paw right from the beginning. :-)
Treats for everyone!
