I kinda thought today's thread would be extra sweet and lovely, and my hunch was right. Beautiful all the way through, but especially love those little kittens in their stockings.

Good morning to our Hostess Angels, and to all Freepers.

I've heard that St. Peter had a doggie door installed on the Pearly Gates a long time ago, and when our little animal loves arrive, he just grins and waves 'em on through.

My neighborhood doesn't look quite like the one above, but it feels almost like it...finally got some stormy wether...brrrrrr.

"I've heard that St. Peter had a doggie door installed on the Pearly Gates a long time ago, and when our little animal loves arrive, he just grins and waves 'em on through."

Beautiful thought, and most likely true. My father-in-law is big into German Shepards and he had this one called Jay--the brother of my wife's dog, Kelsey--who grew to be almost 120 pounds and he and Lou were like father and son!! My kids loved to go to GrampaPuppies' house and we'd bring Kelsey and it just added to the reunion feeling. Then, one day, Lou and Jay were playing at this park they used to always go to and Lou let him off his leash so he could run around FRee...on the other side of the Park (a football field away), playing on a swing was a little girl about the same age as my daughter. Her dad was right there reading the paper, when all of a sudden, Jay took off towards the swingset at full speed with Lou in full sprint, first yelling commands for Jay to heel and then yellin' for the father to get to his daughter. Father and Jay arrived at the child almost simultaneously and Jay nipped at the girl's heel and barely broke her skin, but Lou put Jay down the next day...hadta kill him inside, but he said he's never been more scair't in his life--and he's an Army vet who's had enemy fire aimed at him--and said he couldn't sleep thinking that possibly his dog could do something similar to his grandkids.

RIP, Jay.

I would love to see a picture of your neighborhood. If I were in the mountains and happen to stumble upon that awesome site it would be a nice sight to behold. I live in a lake community with very cool views as well. Just minutes from us there are some mountain areas but nothing quite like that.

I know what you mean. The same here in the Netherlands.
