racindog Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Its that time again! Time to honor Rocket's love of french fries on National French Fry Day this Wednesday July 13. French Fry Day is a BIG deal! There is lots of media attention and I have attached a link for some of the many places offering french fry specials. I loved Rocket and loved hearing about his exploits and this is just a way I enjoy remembering him. His mom says he loved them french fries! He is and will always be a special GT'r. I know there are some others that have enjoyed this opportunity to honor Rocket and I didn't want you to miss out so its time to start telling your hounds about the good fortune they will have on Wednesday! Here's the link for quite a few major 'french fry specials.' Rocket- this is for you! We love you and always will. Never forgotten. https://www.wral.com/story/list-of-national-french-fry-day-2023-deals-on-thursday-july-13/20947108/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racindog Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 And a grand time was had by all! You can't go wrong with some delicious french fries! And Octane tickled me because as soon as he finished his fries he went into the kitchen and found the leftovers! Thats what you call survival instinct. The other 2 "smart" dogs didn't think about checking for leftovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
