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

I'm so sorry, Phred, but I'm glad you were with Bowser at the end. Remember the good times.

I knew when my phone rang @ 3:00am that whoever was calling me that the news wasn't good.
Bowser you were such a special little fluffy boy loved near and far. You couldn't have asked for a better home since you couldn't be with Granpa. Someday when the pain eases a bit for NewDad I know you will send him a little sign to let him know that you are indeed well, healthy, happy and BOUNCING everywhere.
I know that the granma you never met plus several others and all of Phred's furkidz before you and several of PT's own met you @ the gate of the bridge to give you a warm welcome. I know that Karen's Cody ushered you right to your family.
We will miss you very very much, but both of your dadz will see you again someday.....
we love you Bowsie Boy....

When I read your email this morning my own reaction was to break out in uncontrolable sobs. And that old wave of grief gripped me as though it was my own that had been lost.

In a way, Bowser did belong to all of us. Phred from the very first time you heard about Bowser and your incredible trip to rescue him, I think all of us fell in love with him. "yes, we are going to find Bowser a good home".........we all privately laughed at that, because it was clear that Bowser DID have a new home and he wasn't going anywhere.

You should be so proud of yourself, you gave this elderly gentleman a great life filled with fun and adventure for the final years of his life. He must be running around telling everyone at the Rainbow Bridge his good fortune in being adopted by such a wonderful man.

My heart breaks for you and Tonya as well. It is a huge loss and it will take some time to settle into the reality.

I give you the biggest hug possible..........I really wish that I could.

Love, Gini
