After Corby and I were engaged Corby got an email saying Jon Phred wanted to be his friend on facebook. He asked me who that was, I told him it was just my "pet talk dad" wanting to keep an eye on him.He kept bugging and bugging me to set up a wedding registry. I was slacking on all the wedding planning, he was making sure I was getting stuff done. I finally set it up, and within days there was a big box of gifts on our door from Phred.
He sent us a gift before anyone else.
He was always one of the first to help us out with our donations to Strut Your Mutt and to any other causes. He sent me a beautiful frame for a drawing I did of Smokey when he passed away, and included him in a memorial at Findlay. I remember the first time I went there and had Nebo with me. There was a book or something we were having the dogs "sign" with their pawprints in ink. Nebo was a little skittish with men at the time so I was a little surprised when I looked over and there was Phred with Nebo, dipping his paw in ink to sign.
If you look at Phred's post they are all words of encouragement and love to other members. You couldn't find anyone more willing to help anyone in need. He was a character for sure, and one of a kind. Miss ya Phred.
Here's some photos from the two findlay meetings I went to
