racindog Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 It's that time of year again. Wednesday the 13th is National French Fry Day! Of course you can't think of french fries without remembering what an aficionado Rocket was! Therefore the last couple of years many of us have marked that day as an excuse to spoil our hounds by letting them have some FRENCH FRIES!!! It has been greyt fun and as you know our houndies do need to be spoiled on a regular basis. It is also gratifying to remember Rocket at this time and how our hounds-especially the ones who become public figures here- and I won't name them because there are MANY and I won't risk leaving anyone out-are so very very special. They know who they are. Also special thanks to their peeps who graciously shared their precious hounds on the forum so all of us could love them also. So it is also a happy and heartwarming little remembrance for all the GT hounds that have meant so much to us and then crossed over. And oh the memories we make by surprising our current hounds with FRENCH FRIES! Thank you Rocket! You are loved always and will never be forgotten. PS- The pictures are always awesome. Please post pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time4ANap Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 We decided that Mark and LaVida can't have fries until the weekend. We have to take a fecal sample in to the vet tomorrow for both of them, so figured that giving them fries the day before might not be the best idea. Will post some pics when they get theirs.
