I'm in so much shock, although I'm sure it's nothing compared to the shock you are experiencing, Phred. I can't believe it all happened so fast, with no warning or sign from Boots. He knew you were going through a rough time because of Bowser and didn't want to worry you more.

It's good to know that even at the end he recognized his dear ol' dad and wanted you near.

{{{hugs}}} {{{hugs}}} and more {{{hugs}}} Phred. I'm so sorry this had to happen, especially so soon after Bowser's trip.

Boots, we never saw you much here on PT, but we heard much about you and yet you were a most beloved member of PT. I know Shadow will take real good care of you, but please look up your other buddies too, like Bowser, Grandmom and all the other PT friends who will be waiting to greet you.

Phred, I'm so sorry.
