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

Phred, I am sobbing here. This is the first post I saw after coming home from the hospital today. I'm so sorry. I loved that sweet old boy He had such a great life and was so lucky to spend his last years with you and your furcrew. My heart is breaking. Now I know why I was so sad in the hospital on that day.

Rest in Peace Sweet Bowser Play hard at the bridge sweetheart

Your letter was bittersweet. I'm so thankful that Bowser got to say goodbye at home. I know he loves you lots for doing all you did for him. Tomorrow will be hard but I hope you can find some happiness, too. The RB dogs can have their own Memorial day party with Bowser as the special guest of honor.

Oh my. Your photo tribute to Bowser, and the letters written by *him, Cinder and Smoke and Boots, and you were just heartwrenching. I didn't know much about Bowser's past, and he was just so lucky to found and to live out the rest of his life with you and your gang on the ranch. He had such a sweet face and loving eyes.

Play hard at the Bridge, Bowser. Hope you get to meet some of my childhood dogs, Sam, Max and Maya, who were all gorgeous shepherds like you!

Rest easy Bowser...know you will be missed

I just want to make another post because my first one was too vague.

I read the story of Bowser and Phred to. It was around the time I first joined...and that story is what hit the nail on the head for me. I don't exactly know if I would have joined PT if not for that story. It portrayed the true loving, kind spirit this forum truly has. If not for you, "New Dad", who knows what would have happened to Bowser. Although his time with you was short, you let him live his golden years out in complete happiness and he was very grateful.

I am again so sorry for you loss.

RIP sweet boy, and please show your Daddy a sign that you're OK.

Hugs to you, Phred. What a beautiful tribute you have written for a special dog. I remember reading the story of how Bowser came to live with you, and how touched I was with your compassion for a dog you'd never even met. He had a wonderful two years with you and I'm sure he is smiling down from the RB over you, Smokey, Cinder, and Boots.

Hugs to you, too, Tonya, on the loss of your childhood friend. Find comfort in knowing he was loved up to the very end, by not only his immediate family, but by people all over the world.

RIP Bowser, play hard at the RB and say hello to my Rose - she'll be sure to meet you.
