{{{{HUGS}}}} to you and the furkids Phred!!!
Bowser was lucky to have found you. He is playing hard @ the bridge & can't wait until the day that you are all reunited again. <<<HUGS>>>
Boots and Bowser will be with you in spirit all thought Christmas, Phred - and don't be surprised if the treats from their socks disppear! ;) I'm sure Cinder and Smoke will come in to wake you up and tell you all about what's going on, should you have gone to bed before they arrive.
Big ((((hugs))))
*sniff sniff*
Been thinkin bout your Bowser boy a lot lately, Phred. You know he'll be by, with Boots in tow! Heck, what self-respecting pup could resist those Yummie Chummies? I just bought a bag of them yesterday to put under the tree for mine. ((hugs)) to all of you!
The Christmas SPIRITS are with you, Phred. :(
I've been thinking of those two sweeties an lot myself lately. I'm sure they will both be right by your side this Christmas time Phred!!!

Hugs to you, Phred. Big hugs.
phred, hang those stockings. they never really leave you. duke, best golden in the world is only 2 feet away from me as i type this. and his paw prints are in my heart. ((hugs))
Phred, I'd hang those stockings. They're always going to be a part of us and that is a good way to remember them at Christmas. If we didn't get started so late on decorating, I was going to do the same. I hope you get your visit.
;)
They're *Hung* ...
Bowser & Boots are beside Cinder & Smokey - same places as last year.
:)
I otta go look for the old sox for Casey, Fred, Arrow, and Shadow ...
hate for them to feel left out. :(
THANKS, All, for the words of Loving Support.
We'll have a Merrie Christmas in spite of what's happened this year!
;)
Phred, Cinder & SmokeMutt
I am sure that all of your furry "ghosts of Christmas past" are with you in spirit, Phred. They would know what a good thing they had.
Merry Christmas!
Phred, We will have a "Very Merry Christmas" this year, in spite of our losses~ :o
And, thanks to you, we all will have lovely memories of Bowser and Boots Da Kat!!!!
Although it's been said, many times~ many ways~ MERRY CHRISTMAS~ to YOU!!!
Just thought I'd let the Bowser fan club know that my grandpa, Bowser's original owner, passed away this morning. :(
Bowser, Grandpa... I hope you guys had a joyous meeting at the bridge. We sure miss you two.
So sorry to hear that :( But don't you know their union was a joyous one? As all ours will be.

Please give Bowz a huge {{{Hug}}} from me.
And THANK You, Sir, for allowing me the pleasure of taking care of Bowser in
his "Retirement Years" ... I hope he enjoyed his time with Cinder, Smokey, Boots, and Me.
I know Bowz has never forgotten his visit with you in your apartment and
over the River in the Park ... I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
I'm Honored to have known you, Sir.

Dear Zippy, we offer our sympathies on the passing of your Grandpa. It must have been a happy moment when he & Bowser were reunited at the RB!
We didn't know your grandpa, but we sure have a soft spot for Bowser - he'll hold a special place in our hearts furever. We were lucky to have known him.
(((hugs))), Star, Pat & JoJoe
Hey Zip, condolences on the loss of your grandpa, but I am certain Bowser was there, waiting for him, fluff butt wagging!
Phred, a wonderful thing you did ....
I'm sure it was a joyous reunion, much love on the way....

You did them both proud, Phred...you're kinda special yerself.
Tonya I am so sorry. Our thoughts are all with you today. What a wonderful picture of a special man and his dog - now united again. (((hugs)))
Tonya I'm very sorry to hear about your grandpa. I'm sure him and Bowser were very happy to see each other.
Nice tribute to them both Phred.
I'm so sorry for your loss Tonya.
Phred... that picture of grampa and Bowser make my eyes leak.
They are once again together!
It's a comforting thought that Bowser and Grandpa are together again, Tonya. I'm sure you will always have lots of loving memories of him.
My condolences, Zippy.
RIP Grampa. Have phun with Bowser.
You can just tell how much grandpa and Bowser enjoyed meeting each other again - and I'm sure they're together at this very moment. :)

I'm so sorry for your loss Tonya. :(
Thank you for a wonderful tribute, Phred. You were a good dad to Bowser. :)
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa. I hope he and Bowser are now loving that they are reunited. (((((HUGS))))) to you!
So sorry for your great loss. I could just picture the reunion at RB, both Bowser and Grandpaw, young and healthy again........ Hugs.
Tonya I'm so sorry for your loss. I know there's a very happy reunion in heaven involving a fluffer butt and a brand new angel.
Rest in peace and enjoy each other's company, Grandpaw and Bowser :(
Zippy, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Grandpa :( I know
he and Bowser are enjoying being together again. Your Grandpa & Bowser
look so happy together in the picture.
Zippy, so sorry to hear of the loss of your grandfather. I know Bowser and he are having a grand time being together again.
zippy, i'm so sorry to read about your grandpa.
Tonya and Phred,
This is a bittersweet time for both of you and I am so sorry for your losses. The sweetness of a reunion for Granpaw and Bowser is such a wonderful thing; their time had come albeit too quickly for everyone left behind. The photo Phred posted tells the most wonderful tail - a wistful look and a happy heart.
Every person should have the privilege of a family and extended family who cares so much. Many hugs to everyone.
Today, May 24th, is gonna be a *Ruff* one here at the Ranch ... :(
One long & short year ago, our Beloved Fluffy-Tailed FluffBall, Dear Bowser,
said his G-Byes and departed for the Rainbow Bridge. :(
Today will be a sad one, but filled with the hundreds of Happy Memories of the Joyful Tymes
Bowz shared with me, his loving "Second Dad", Bus Driver, and obedient Butler.
I still use HIS food scoop to measure out Cinder & Smokey's meals ...
just couldn't throw that now extra one away.
Do Cinder & Smokey *miss* their Lil Brudder?
It would be a stretch to say they miss him now - it's been a while in a Dog's mind ...
But they sure did MISS him a year ago. I'd forget and call all three names ...
C&S would *look* for where the Lil Guy had wandered off to ...
Bowser was truely Blessed with a pair of "siblings" that accepted him into a pretty *tight*
group of two ... they became the Three Amigos the first night Bowz spent at the Ranch!
He really had trouble 'keeping up' with the Big Dawgs ... his half-sized legs had to
take a LOT more steps to keep up with the youger set ... but they usually slowed
their pace a bit to let him catch up. And when Bowz wanted a rest stop -
EBBERbuddie stopped together (usually). Then again, Bowz got pretty good at
tucking up into a ball and just *tumbling* along behind the other two!
He took some wild rides tied behind C&S - but ALWAYS came up *smilin* and *wavin* his
famous Fluffie Tail! :D
If you're new to the Bowser Tails ... it all started out at 9:00 on January 11, 2005
with a somewhat frantic post by Zippy-Kat ... "A Plea for HELP!!"
Less than 24 hours later Cinder & Smokey had been dumped with Cali, Unka Pat and Miz Joan;
and da Bus Driver was headed into the Hills of West Virginny with the Rescue Bus ...
on a summer-like day with the threat of an approaching Bilzard!
But don't let me spoil the Tail ... read all about it at >>>
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=68494
But don't ever let it be said that I din't have HELP!
Lordy, did I have HELP!
Lil Cali Pup, and her Mom & Dad (Pat & Joan) have taken the FurKids in more times than
I could ever count; watched 'em through my :eek: heart attack and hospitalizations;
then Zippy-Kat organized the "Phred's Thank You Box" AND a huge Donation;
A Zillion Pet Talkers took bets that Bowz was NOT needing a Furrever Home;
and the list of Phans & Supporters grew every day. :)
And of course - my very 'speschul thanks' to Dear Zippy-Kat -
without her, and her beloved GranPaw - I'd have never had Bowser to share my life with.
I often asked Bowz if he was 'happy' with his second Family ...
he rarely gave *kisses* --- but he sure could *WAVE* that Fluffie Tail!
I always took that as his sign that Life at da Ranch was pretty much A-OK!
THANKS, God, for letting us 'borrow' him for a while ... it was way too short of a stay;
but I tried to make it a truely Happy Tyme for the Lil Guy.
Luv ya, Bowz!!
/s/ Your :( Second Dad, along with Cinder and Smokey
< sniff >
I remember a year ago, baking cookies to take with us to the dog park, experimenting and making a Bowser-shaped cookie. Funny, but with all the cookie cutters I own, there wasn't a-one the right size and shape. He was a unique little guy, with a heart as big as all outdoors. That fluffy flag-tail waving surely warmed hearts wherever he went, and I am sure he's met my mom and his grandmom as well as his first Dad up there at the Rainbow Bridge.
