Bowser ~ Called God and asked for a Ride up to the Rainbow Bridge on 5/24/2007

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

It is with heavy heart that I type these words. I now know I've been away from PT for too long, and am so sorry that it is the death of such a dear doggy friend that brings me back.

Phred, I am so very sorry.

Bowser, I am so glad I was able to meet you in person. You were a bit of trouble for New Dad when you first arrived, but I know he really didn't mind any of it and was just glad to be able to help. Yes, we all knew you weren't going anywhere - find you a new home, yeah right, why would you need a new home when you were now in the best home you could ever hope for? Be sure to remember to send a message home to da bus driver so he knows you arrived at RB safely. He and the rest of the clan are going to miss you so very much.

{{{hugs}}} to you, Phred, and you too Tonya. You have both lost a dear friend and like others here, I hope the pain is quickly replaced by warm memories.

I talked to Phred tonight and we shared a few tears, a few laughs, a few fond memories of Mr. Happy Fluffie Tail.

The "tail" of Bowser is one of friendship, compassion, kindness, and love.... for fellow humans, for our furry friends. I am so very thankful for "The Bus Driver" and his willingness to open his heart and home to an older guy down on his luck. {{hugs dear friend, many many hugs}}

I am also so very thankful for the many PTers who pitched in with the "Thank You, Phred" box. {{Thank you a million times over.}}
~~~~~~~~~~

Bowser, I hope by now you've been restored to the playful puppy I remember from my childhood. I'm so very glad that I got to see you (and your "New Dad") last fall. Here's to many "hunts" and "hikes" in the hills of Heaven. Please look for Sophie (she's probably in one of the many parsley patches), Tom and ButterScotch (remember them? they met you a few times); send them all a *slurp* for me.

I love you, lil' guy.
~~~~~~~~~~

Through teary eyes, I thank Phred, thank PT, and thank God once again for the out-pouring of love on a small, fluffy doggie with a waving tail and an endless smile.

I am still new (I've only been around a few months) but wanted to say how sorry I am that Bowser had to go to the bridge. I do not know the story of how you and Bowser became buddies, but it is so apparant that you loved each other tremendously.

Rest peacefully, sweet Bowser.

[Kfamr]

How heartbreaking.

Rest well, Bowser, I am so glad we got to meet before it was your time.

[Grace]

So very sorry to read this. Have a wonderful time at The Bridge, dear Bowser.

[Randi]

Phred, it is with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes I read this, I'm so very sorry Bowser had to go. I hope the pain you feel now, will be replaced with the fond memories you have.

I remember how you rescued Bowser and opened your heart for him. Thank you for giving him some wonderful years in his old age, I know he enjoyed his time with you.

Play hard at the RB, Bowser - you will be missed very much down here, but never forgotten.


Big (((((hugs)))))

[Lobodeb]

I am so sorry for your loss.

Godspeed to the bridge, Bowser.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Another THANK YOU is past due ...

Pat (syber-sibes) posted a warm Tribute & G-Bye message to Bowser

And to those Pet Talkers who sent Sympathy Cards ...
golly ...
I hate it when I start *bawlin* at the mailbox!

But your Warm Messages are deeply appreciated.
I read Staci's card Saturday night at the motel in Findlay ...

Then Zippy-Kat's and Doc Mike's Vet Card arrived together ...
OH, Gosh ... they were both Beautiful and hard to get through ...
Doc and ALL the Girls signed, and added a very personal note about Bowsie ...

I'm still re-reading his old threads ... dunno if I'll run out of tears or tissues first.

THANKS again, Gang!!

/s/ Bowser Dad

Phred, I'm sorry I am late with this but I want to give my condolences. Your story with Bowser was such a touching one and being able to share in it through this board was wonderful.

Rest in Peace sweet Bowser.

Hugs to you Phred.

[Dorothy39]

Oh My Phred, well , I'm sort of "late" with condolences for Bowser, but this typed rely isn't actually *late*, it's was merely, restrained~ Hey, I had to cry for awhile Buddy!! I reply when I catch my breath~

Bowser's passing was hard for me-------------( a PT friend told me it happened, and I felt sorrowful)


Hard {{HUGS}} to you Phred

[Soapets]

I've often wondered about Bowser and Cinder and Smokey. I don't get on here very much anymore, but Bowser's story was one of the first ones I ever read and followed on here when I first found this site. I know that Bowser's final years were happy and that he was loved and well cared for and couldn't have had a better place to live and die. Rest in Peace, Bowser!
