it's Freddie Girl!

FIRST ANNUAL VETERINARY APPRECIATION DAY!

WOO HOO!  Veterinarians everywhere...HAVE A HAPPY, HAPPY DAY TODAY!  Today is your day!  They say "every dog has his day"....not sure exactly what they mean by that, but TODAY IS YOURS!  We APPRECIATE you every day, but like we mentioned in the post before....we thought TODAY would be a great day to CELEBRATE YOU!

Okay, Mommie and I are the one's that came up with this, so it's kind of like our own private holiday...but WE are gonna celebrate this holiday EVERY YEAR on APRIL 10TH,  so who knows if we spread it around...THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

So THANKS AGAIN Dr. Josh, Dr. H., and Doctor Bell who took care of me when I was just a pup, and a bunch of other doctors I had to see along the way.  HAVE A GREAT DAY!   love, Freddie Girl

Thank You Dr. Josh (and all the other veterinarians in the world!)

Hey everybody! We decided to have our own little holiday in honor of Dr. Josh and all the VETERINARIANS in the world. It's our blog, so I guess we can do whatever we want to, right? I'm gonna let Mommie tell you more about it...oh, and also THANK YOU to all the VETERANS who have taken care of us too! Thanks, love, Freddie Girl

Hi everyone. Thank you very much for reading our blog. As many of you may know or remember, the real Freddie Girl passed away last year on April 10th. It was a very, very sad day for me, so this year I decided to do something kind of "in honor" of my Freddie Girl. I can't express how much I miss her, but I do think she had a hand in sending my new puppy Oliver to me. He is a wonderful little cockapoo who could never take Freddie Girl's place, but he has a new special place in my heart just for him.

Freddie Girl lived to be 14 years old and I know I would never have had her for that long without the love and care of her veterinarians. So on April 10th, I thought it would be a good day to thank Dr. Josh (and Dr. H.) and share that appreciation with all the other wonderful veterinarians in the world. We invite you to join in and show YOUR appreciation to the SPECIAL VETERINARIANS  in your pet's life.

When I checked to see if there was already a holiday to celebrate veterinarians, I did find that WORLD VETERINARY DAY is held on April 25th this year. It is always the last Saturday in April. You can find more information on this at www.worldvet.org. Their purpose is to encourage practitioners to use the occasion of World Veterinary Day to promote the profession by holding open-door days, visiting schools, and showing clients and the public at large how veterinarians touch everyone's lives on a daily basis.

 So, not to infringe on an existing holiday, I thought we could still have a VETERINARIAN APPRECIATION DAY, to compliment World Veterinary Day. WVD involves time being donated by the veterinarians to show what they do and love...so VETERINARIAN APPRECIATION DAY could just be a day for all of us who already know and respect what they do...to simply say THANKS (and maybe throw a little gift or a card their way). 

This also coincides with NATIONAL PET MONTH which is April 4th through May 4th. April seems to be a good month to celebrate our pets and the people that love and take care of them. I hope you will join me in giving THANKS to all the VETERINARIANS in your world. 

I'm planning on making this an ANNUAL EVENT to be held EVERY YEAR on APRIL 10TH. So, if you are reading this, feel free to pass the blog address (itsfreddiegirlcomics.typepad.com) on to all your friends and family, and anyone else you think would be interested. Either way, thank you for reading and if you get a chance, say a BIG THANK YOU to your pet's doctor for taking care of your beloved best friends! Have a great day!      Love, Mommie (and Freddie Girl)

 -------------------------------------------------------------------Just a couple of things....Once again, thank you to alphainventions.com for showing our blog on your blog and for bringing us sooooo many new readers. Thank you readers, please come back and visit, A LOT!

Also, Mommie is experimenting with color, so bear with us until she gets it figured out. Sometimes I might look paler than other times, and sometimes darker.  Today is more of a pale day, but consider it a work in progress, that you get to witness.  It's kind of hard to decide, considering I'm a black cocker spaniel, how dark to draw me....we still want you to see me, and not just a black ink spot!  Thanks for your patience while Mommie is "tweaking" the artwork.

Have  great weekend everybody, and keep checking in on us!  Love, Freddie Girl

Christmas In Blogland!

Hi everyone, indulge me for a moment while I praise a guy named Cheru Jackson who invented alphainventions.com. It is because of this genius that many of you are seeing this post. Like I said, I have no idea how they ran across my blog, but Mommie and I really appreciate the exposure you are bringing us. We REALLY, REALLY, REALLY appreciate all of you who have clicked on our site from seeing it on ALPHAINVENTIONS.com. We are going to work sooooo hard to make our blog the best it can be, and also to update it as fast as we can. We would love to hear from ALL of you. Just click on the comment link at the bottom of each post. We will TRY to reply back to each and every one of them if you would like.  Also, if you would like to get to know us better by reading back to the first comics and posts, just click on the ARCHIVES, or you can also click where it says subscribe to our feed near the bottom of the links, and read from the bottom up. Sorry this is so informative, but Mommie recently redesigned the blog so there wasn't so much scrolling.

Oh, I almost forgot...SONGS OF THE DAY!  The first song is for alphainventions.com...."YOU TO THANK", by Ben Folds, and the second is for all our readers...something we hope you will do when you click on our blog..."STOP AND STARE", by One Republic (although we hope you will do more than stare).

Thanks again....stay tuned.....please????  Have a great day, love Freddie Girl and Mommie
