Hi God ~

<sigh>

I hate ta bother Ya, but kuld you send the Silver Klowd Express down here to the Ranch ... One ta Go. Tonite would be just *phine* ... kuz there's never gonna be a "good tyme" ta say G-Bye.

I'll meet Ya inna hallway - Dad will be *stroking* my head ...

Thanks fur keepin things "quiet" this last week ... I sure dint wanna *stress* New Dad wiff worrying about me ... but there just wuz no *fixin* allua worn out parts.
I know Dad anna Docs all tried ... and Hey - I dun purdy well till a week ago!Dad wuz *impressed* when I hopped up the front steps today wiffout any help;
then skipped across the porch an lay down watchin the pond anna geese.

And OH, Boy, was dinner *Yummie* tonite!
I played da kards rite again like Sunday ... ignored the Steak-inna-Kan; ignored the Krunchies drowned in Beef Broth; held out for the Final Offer!Worked like a charm - Dad dug out a Humongous Chickin Breast an plopped it onna George's Grill ... YUMMMMIE!

Doesn't seem like only TWO Years here atta Ranch ... tyme flies. But what a
*PHUNN* Tyme it's been ... GREAT bunch a Howze-Mates & Siblings - Cinder, SmokeyMutt, and even Boots da KAT, tossed out da Welcome Mat on Day #1.

An allua Pet Talk Pups I met at Findlay ... wish I coulda waited till after Sunday ...
but I'd rather be remembered as the Happy, Fluffie, FurBall wiffa BIG *Smile* than
the old grump that didn't feel so hot. Have a Bisquit on ME, Gang!

So many Happie Tails ... Hikin in the Big Lake Parks; Swimmin in the Lakes;
Bus Rides - I went a LOTTA Places in two years; OberNites down at Unka Pat &
Miz Joan's Place wiff Cali playin Host ... wish I kudda said G-Bye to them ...
but we had a nice visit last Friday afternoon at their Howze.

An Speschul THANKs to Miz Zippy-Kat, from New Messico! Wiffout HER Help,
I'd prolly sill be locked up in da Webster County (WV) JAIL - wonderin where First Dad went.
So glad I gotz to see her last year!

I'll send a Note down to New Dad aftur I get settled in atta Bridge ...
words are a lil hard to come by just now. Tell him I 'preciate
not being rushed off to da 'Mergency Room -
no phunn seein a strange Doc when ya just wann go ta sleep.

OK ... it's Tyme ta Go ...


Hey Dad ... come sit beside me here inna hall ...

Dear God ~

THANK You for allowing Bowser into my Heart and my care.

I've tried to make his time here with us as Happy and Pleasant as possible.

I'm especially Grateful that You allowed him to say G-Bye on His Terms ... Going to Sleep,
at Home with Friends at his side, and a favorite HandPaw on his head ... Thanks, God.

Please send a gentle {{{God'sHug}}} to First Dad / GranPaw ~ Let him know that he
raised a FINE lil Pup ... who did him Proud.

And another {{{God'sHug}}} to Tonya / Zippy-Kat ~ don't fret, lil Girl ... he'll meet you
at the Bridge with his Fluffie Tail *waving* for all it's worth!

Here he is God ~~~ Take GOOD Care of him for me.



--------------------------------------------------

GodSpeed, Dear Bowser Boy!

I hope you know how much I've Loved You, and am going to *miss* you!

I've always worried about who was going to be First at The Bridge ...
I guess You won the race ... but you did have Senioriety.

Take Care, Bub ... Enjoy your Retirement ~ you've earned it.


Pick out a Nice Spot on The Bridge - big enough for ALL of us ---
we'll all met you up there ~~~ One *Phine* Day.
Be sure you're *waving* that Fluffie Tail.

{{{HUGS}}}, Bowser ...

With ALL My Love,

Awww.....I am so sorry. Play hard at the Rainbow Bridge Bowser.

[jenluckenbach]

I am SO sorry for your loss. RIP Bowser, you will be missed.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

LES Safe journey to the Bridge dear Bowser

[Karen]

Oh, dear. Well, old man, I hope you enjoyed the ride to the Rainbow Bridge. So glad you were loved and cared for the last couple years after the rescue, and that you got extra hugs from Tonya last you met. Rest in peace, now, dear boy. Plenty of sniffs to follow up there at the Bridge I am sure, and then go find my Sheba, and all the beloved dogs of Pet Talk - they'll have tales to share and know where all the treats are stored.

[Alysser]

Aw, Bowser, I had no clue you were sick. I am so sorry for your loss.. RIP sweet boy.

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

LES, RIP sweet Bowser.

[DrKym]

Hugs and prayers Phred. RIP Bowser.

[Pam]

Phred tears are streaming down my face. Your tribute to Bowser touched me deeply. I remember Bowser's story from Day One. I know it must have seemed like a fairy tale for him to come live with you and Cinder, Smokey and Boots at the ranch. You made a very special difference in his life and we all thank you for that. When it was time for him to go you let him go lovingly.

Bowser, we all wish you happy trails at the Bridge and I know there is an ever increasing number of PT dogs who have gone before who have already greeted you. Tonya big (((hugs))) to you too.

[cyber-sibes]

Peaceful journey, sweet, Bowser. You'll have lots and lots of other PT pups there to greet you & show you around the place. And you'll be motoring around on four good legs again, buddy. We'll all wave "hi" to ya this weekend at the pic-nic, I know you'll be watching from that silver cloud! I'm so glad I got to know you, little guy. Look in on the bus driver dad and your siblings, and Tonya, too.
Big (((hugs)))), Phred. What a beautiful tribute.

[Vela]

Aww Phred I'm so sorry it was his time to go. You gave him such a great life. It was always so nice to see the stories and hear about him. As much as you will miss him, I'm sure he will be missing you too. Prayers to you and those left here to comfort your hearts.

[anna_66]

Sweet Bowser,

I remember meeting you the first time at The Great American Mutt Show (I think it was the only time Bon was nice to you )

I thought you were one of the cutest, furriest, fluffiest little guys I'd ever met. You were so sweet and seemed to just "fit" into your new family, like a perfect puzzle piece.

I'm going to miss those beautiful eyes of your sweet guy.
Run through those RB fields on 4 good legs with all the other PT pups and if you don't mind find my two, Keisha & Angus and tell them mommy sends hugs and kisses.

You will be missed...

R.I.P. Bower
----------------------------------------------------------------

Phred, you and the gang gave that guy the best two years of his life. I'm sure he couldn't have asked for a better bus driver and mate.
Lots of (((HUGS))) being sent to you.

Love Anna

[Fett]

Bowser was always one of my favorite dogs with his "marble eyes". He will be missed at the Findlay gatherings. So sorry, Phred.

[pitc9]

OMG... Phred... I'm so sorry Bowser was called to the bridge.

It's hard to see through the tears right now.

You made the last 2 years of his life his best and he'll never forget that.
I'm glad I was able to meet Bowser at the Husky Hike last year, and I'm sorry I won't get to see him again this weekend.

He'll all better now, running like a pup again.

Many many {{HUGS}} to you Phred.
We'll all celebrate his life this Sunday at the park!

[Cincy'sMom]

Phred, I got your email and am just sitting here in shock. I knew he was having his problems, but you just never think that time will come.

Bowser certainly gave us all some laughs and great stories over the past two years. I glad I got the cahnce to know him. His sweet face will be missed this weekend and always.
