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!

How precious we "creatures" big and small are. We bring fun, laughter and comfort to you, our human family and friends. . .. and yes . . . aggravation too! We hope you enjoy this weekly thread and also hope you will allow us the honor of featuring your special furry (or not so furry) FrPet on the Finest.

"I Goofed!!!!"

Happy Tuesday FR friends and FRPets. Gizmo here. I just returned from a two week vacation...visiting grandparents and relatives. Coming home...gosh Codee and FredtheCat demanded lots of attention....from ME and mom and dad. The plan was for a special profile today....BUT...the computer is acting up....Codee is acting up....FredtheCat is acting up and .....well...maybe I am too....SO....We've changed this thread to.....HOW DID YOUR PETS SPEND THEIR SUMMPER VACATION!!!!!!! Hope you stop in and visit and pay tribute to our very special friends....we're counting on the Finest Pets today...to tell us about THEIR summer vacations...never mind what you did...THEY are what counts! Please check in and tell us how YOU or your "family" spent their summer vacation!!!!

I don't think I've said hello to you ladies yet today. :)

[Billie]

Hi, Finest FReeper Guys!

[Billie]

Hi, Mo - my dog likes to go outside anytime anyone else does, but he's ready to come back in the first time the door's opened again!

[knighthawk]

Actualy, I am watching over my dad's pidgeons while my parents are on vacation.

[mountaineer]

Sorry to hear about your cat, Molly.

Hope all is well in your neck o' the woods.

[Billie]

Actualy, I am watching over my dad's pidgeons while my parents are on vacation.

How many pidgeons? Do they require much attention and care?

[Molly Pitcher]

Pretty good here, mountaineer. No power failures this week, so far! LOL

Yes, Billie, we have a younger cat who is about 7 going on 1!...a perpetual baby, he is...

[humblegunner]

Flyer, please tell Gilligan he is most welcome back for more "dog assuage"
anytime. He's among the more well behaved guests I tend to have here at
the manor.. and he never takes embarrassing pictures of me.

That I know of.

Hey, how does he like truck beds? I'm thinkin' beach run! (He can have the back seat for the freeway, of course...)

[knighthawk]

Only 16. My dad used to have a lot and fly them in competitions, but he now only has some as hobby. They don't require much attention. Fresh water and food. Letting them out and fly a bit too.

[dutchess]

Cal...what a neat story about the owl you rescued...WOW...He's beautiful!

[dutchess]

Oh my ....what a great pictures of "shelly" and her vacation LOL!

[dutchess]

Awe...what a sweet picture of Barkley and Pig (love the name LOL). And what a sweet story how they supported your parents through their ordeal. It's been years since my folks have had a pet...but they LOVE when Mr. Giz comes to visit and Codee and FredtheCat who don't travel get extra special treatment when they visit us here.

[dutchess]

You have mail....!

[dutchess]

Hey TM...you got me! I proofed and I proofed...but not good enough (plus it was also around 2:00 a.m. and I only had a few hours of sleep!). Gizmo appreciates the reprieve....MEA CULPA!

[dutchess]

I had to stay in a kennel for SEVEN!!! lousy days and nights. I had to get a shot, too.

Oh...ouch!!! But...the doggie revenge...bet it was harder on your dad then you heheheheh

Keep up the good ole guilt trips! We doggies have been trained right haven't we???

Love - Giz

[Aquamarine]

It's good to see you back Dutchess. Hope you were able to get some rest on your vacation. :)

[dutchess]

Gilligan...what a great story...Sounds like a wonderful trip! Yum...ribeye...sounds pretty good...hint hint mom...

Love - Giz

P.S. Flyer...Giz says you should take the job too!

[dutchess]

Hi Aqua...Good to see you too. Think I may have forgot to say hi this morning....will freepmail you about last night and this a.m. (poor billie again!)

Hope you had a good time too...love Daisy's version of events... Give the little gal a special treat from Giz!

[dutchess]

Hi Molly and fellow cat lovers.FredtheCat has always been indoor/outdoor. Is now 15 and mainly indoor but refuses to use a litter box and insists on being "outdoor" for that. She's also very antisocial except with us. She apparantly spent most of the two weeks we were gone on our roof!!! It was the talk of the neighborhood. Now that we're home she only leaves our bed to eat and do her "business"...

[dutchess]

Hi AuntB...Good to see you...your new "homestead" sounds lovely...hope Regis adjusts!
