Some residents make it more fun for the rest of us by posting clever thoughts on their back bumpers. If you’re like me, driving around is indispensable to running errands. An unexpected laugh is always welcome.
Mostly I keep my opinions inside the car. But I admit, I enjoy seeing how much wit is out there along with some excellent spelling.
Given the chance, I don’t know what I’d post on my bumper. For sure, it wouldn’t be political. I don’t want to cause anyone additional aggravation on that topic. I had a magnetic one for a long time supporting a local animal rescue, but it was washed away at the car wash. Guess my bumper will just continue going naked.
I’ve compiled a short list below of my favorites to share with you. (see below Suburan Square) These are area bumper stickers that made me smile. If you’re the owner of one of these, I have to say thanks. You’ve made running errands much more fun and I’m now on the look-out for more. But please, don’t make the lettering too small. I’m happy reading your bumper but don’t want to be lured into actually bumping it.

Safe, happy driving,

| This is Rue! She is a sweet, alert, adorable Pomeranian Terrier who loves to give affection. Once she feels comfortable, she'll hop on your lap and give you some love. She already knows basic commands like sit! Rue gets along great with adults and would do best in a home where there are no young kids. She really wants to be the only object of your affection, so she'd do best as the only dog. Young Rue (1 year 4 months) would love to have an active home where her running and playing are encouraged. And if you want to snuggle, you're speaking Rue's language! Rue is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccines.
Rue is waiting to meet you at Doggie Style Pets,
