Phred is the human behind Cinder and Smoke's post, and is currently owned by Cinder, Smokey and Heidi - a.k.a. the mini-mutt. He's also one of the main organizing forces behind the Findlay Ohio Pet Talk gatherings, and an all-around stand-up guy.

Bowzer and Boots have gone on to the Rainbow Bridge, so are regularly called by the "prayer pups" to talk to God in behalf of Pet Talk animals. Bowzer was a rescue - Zippy-kat's grandpa's dog, kinda a low-slung husky mix. Boots was a tuxedo fluffy kitty, and full of cattitude.

As noted by his pets' names - smoke, cinder, boots - he's also a volunteer firefighter of many years. And brings very yummy cookies to the Pet Talk gatherings!
