SUNDAY FUNNIES: THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS

Hello Everybody! The Free Choice E-zine's Editor-In-Chief Lee Houston, Junior here.

Let's take care of some editorial business first.

I have already eulogized the passing of our dear friend Autumn the Puppy and was scheduled to host today under the impression she and Piper D. Katt would be home with their respective families finishing the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States.

 I am still scheduled to cover the post holiday Sunday Funnies December 26 and January 2, Christmas and New Year's respectively. Piper will be hosting as a solo act until the Editorial We behind The Free Choice E-zine finds a replacement for Autumn. Which is no easy task by any stretch of the imagination.

There will still be a Christmas themed Sunday Funnies December 19, but it's doubtful at this point it will be in the Office Party motif of years passed.

Anyway, Thanksgiving here in America was this past Thursday, and hopefully everyone took time out to acknowledge what they are most thankful for than just eatting more than they should have.

Me, considering my recent heart/medical issues, I'm thankful to still be alive!

In any event, we're all dealing with lingering leftovers, or those dreaded Poultry Geists, and this humble E-zine is no exception...

Asking an expert is not always the best way to get the advice you need.

If you ask a turkey🦃 how it should be stuffed, the turkey would say “With Worms, Bugs, and Seeds.”

One turkey to another, while they're looking at their cellphones. “Do you have any idea why the farmer just unfriended me?”

The other turkey replied, “No, but do you have any idea why I’m suddenly getting hundreds of dinner invitations?”

Did you know that the Pilgrims baked bread with May flour?😉

Friendsgiving is for Palsgrims, and on that note♫

Have a great week everybody!

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And please be with us next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—lh,jr.

The following is an editorial.

Dear Readers:

Today is the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States of America, and despite the recent passing of our dear friend Autumn the Puppy, we do have a lot to be thankful for.

I, for one, am thankful to still be alive after my recent heart surgery and bouts of vertigo-dizziness-whatever despite still not knowing their origin/cause at this time.

I am sure there is plenty all of you out there are thankful for too.

Especially the chance to pause and enjoy a good laugh.

And yes, even to this day, turkeys still can NOT fly! 😉

SUNDAY FUNNIES: STAYING POSITIVE

Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!

I'm sure everyone has heard by now that we've recently lost Autumn the Puppy. 😢

I tell you, it just doesn't seem real to me.

Surreal maybe. I keep thinking I'm gonna wake up from one of my naps at any moment and thankfully discover this was all nothing more than a bad nightmare.

It seems like just yesterday we worked together on the annual Halloween Sunday Funnies. We even stopped and chatted for awhile afterwards about life, the universe, and everything; including early planning for what would have been our annual Christmas Party in December.

To say that I, like everyone else, miss Autumn is a serious understatement.

Yet I also know that if she was here right now, Autumn would tell me that the show must go on and to

So with that in mind...

A sweater I bought was picking up static electricity really bad. I returned it to the store. They gave me a new one, no charge.

If two people love each other, nothing is impossible... except deciding where to eat sometimes.

Did you know that the man who invented the Ferris Wheel never met the man who invented the merry-go-round? They traveled in different circles.

Ever notice when Geese fly in a “V” formation,

Another positive post😉

one side is always longer than the other? Scientists determined the reason. There is more birds on one side than the other.

I wonder how much that study cost?

I ticked off my alarm. Now it won’t give me the time of day.

You know how they throw a ball into the crowd after the game?

Thankfully that is not allowed in bowling!🎳

Still being positive.😉

A waiter approached a diner and said, “Your glass is empty. Would you like another?”

The diner replied, “Why would I want two empty glasses?"

And on that note♫, I think it's time to end this post.

Autumn, it was a pleasure working with you and you'll always have a place in my heart.

Everyone else, take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And as originally scheduled, our esteemed Editor-In-Chief will be here during the Thanksgiving holiday next weekend with more Sunday Funnies.—PDK.

In memory: Autumn the Puppy, 2009-2021.

IN MEMORIUM: AUTUMN "THE PUPPY" 2009-2021

Sorry to disappoint those expecting to see this week's

installment of The Sunday Funnies, especially considering who was scheduled to host today, but unfortunately The Free Choice E-zine Family, as well as her human family in the real world, suffered a great and unexpected loss Friday night (November 12, 2021) when Autumn "The Puppy" crossed the Rainbow🌈 Bridge. 😢

Autumn's earliest photo

Autumn was a purebred Golden Retriever pup who came to live with us on November 6, 2009-a few months after her arrival in the world-and she grew up to be a sweet natured, lovable adult dog, who was gentle to children and other pets. She had a long and mostly healthy life, watching over the house, playing with other dogs and children, fetching sticks and tennis balls. She also loved digging in the backyard, leaving many excavations in her wake, although what—if anything—she was actually looking for remains unknown.

The house cats adored her and she befriended most dogs she met and any that she lived with. She was always well behaved indoors (as long as no food was involved), and would come to you and bark if she needed to go outside. She hated being left behind when the family went somewhere without her and would put up a loud protest, and also never forgot to remind you that it was meal time or when she wanted a treat.

Autumn & Lucky playing tug-tug

While he never appeared here, Autumn was predeceased by her happy-go-lucky adopted older brother, Ranger the Chocolate Lab, who taught her how to be more of a good dog and less of a little rascal. In her senior years, she gained another adopted doggie brother named Lucky, a gangly, large, mixed breed fellow whom she taught house manners and good behavior. From Autumn, Lucky also learned how to have fun like sharing toys or chasing sticks without eating them, when to bark and why, how to mooch treats from humans, and the proper way to play tug. Until Lucky came along, Autumn was always the first one at the door to greet you. As she got older and stiff and sore, she turned that job over to him. She was very gentle with all the house kitties, who she treated as friends and they often smooched her or laid down nearby.

Autumn and Lucky

If Autumn had a final wish, it would be that every unwanted pet in a shelter would find a happy forever home with someone who is patient and kind enough to teach them proper manners and make sure they get their yearly exams and vaccinations. Dogs are pack animals. They need to be with their human families as much as possible. They do age faster than humans though so we will likely outlive them, and as they get older their veterinary health needs are even more important. Autumn lived to be 12 years old, which is an average ultimate age for a large breed dog, and most of her life was very happy and healthy. She is very much missed by all—especially by Lucky—but the family has plans to adopt another dog in time so he can have a new sibling to play with and teach things to.

And so the torch is passed...

Autumn and Ranger

Autumn's first Internet appearance was with Ranger on our companion In My "Spare" Time crafts/hobby blog December 20, 2009, which is still a popular archived post to this day.

Her first official Free Choice appearance was a couple of weeks later on January 3, 2010. That led to a second appearance on January 31, and from there a star was born.

Autumn, the later years

Being young at heart, Autumn kept "The Puppy" moniker long after she grew into adulthood and faithfully served as a great family member, loyal companion, true friend, great dog, and Free Choice E-zine contributor until her recent passing. The Emergency Vet said her heart just gave out, a  natural occurrence for a large dog with cardiac issues. A subject I am quite familiar with.

Autumn's last online appearance was sharing the stage on Halloween with Piper D. Katt, who will continue as a solo act until such time as the Editorial We behind The Free Choice decides how to proceed without our friend.

Like the loss of any dear family member, Autumn's passing has left a void within our collective hearts that can never truly be filled. Yet we take pleasure and comfort in both her memories and the privilege of this wonderful golden retriever being a part of our lives for many years.
