Once upon a time on Pet Talk

[Lady's Human]

I enjoyed talking the Phred the few times he called, and we still have the kitty mugs Corinna sent us one christmas.

If you're going to toss out gingerbread (dittos the thanks to Gramma Peterson) you have to toss in the one allowable use for cool whip, which is to top the said gingerbread.

What a great thread! Phred helped me replace my first fire extinguisher, which I received as a housewarming gift, after it "aged out". He told me to take it to the local fire station for disposal and gave me instructions on how to replace it with a better one.

I was at the supermarket yesterday. At the front of the store they have a display of "Holiday Items". On the top shelf - bottles of clam juice, which is forever linked to Phred in my mind

Karen, I'm going to think of Terry every time I hear that disco song now! Romeo and Juliet ... Daisy and Delilah ...

Great thread, Karen. I only "knew" Terry, and not the others, and felt honored that she called me "friend". My only regret is that I never got to meet her in person. She was such a lovely, caring and kind soul, and I miss her presence here. She will never be forgotten.

Great thread, Karen.
I didn't know any of the PT'ers mentioned here all that well... but it still saddens me that they are no longer with us.

For those who didn't know Phred, but would like to, here's one of his iconic threads/stories Cinder wants to keep the Stray she found

I knew Phredd, I just wasn't close to Phredd.
Thanks for the link to that thread, it's a great heartwarming read. I remember reading that and of how Phredd came to keep Bowser, who was the childhood pet of another Pt member but had been living with her grandfather (is that right?). Phredd was such a good man.

Phred's posts were the first thing that brought me to PetTalk. I'll always remember him. He was a great guy.

I miss a lot of the older members and hope to renew my aquaintances with those still around. I've been gone for a while, but still think of everyone.

Kind of. Bowser never belonged to me - he was always my grandpa's dog. I didn't get to see either much, just during vacations. I did get to see/play with Bowser as a pup though and have a few pictures of him growing up, too.

Of those mentioned, I knew Phred the best. Staci and I talk of him and "blame" things on him frequently. ("Blame" as in the dog that keeps running away from it's owner and showing up on my door step is probably his handiwork. He always thought I needed a dog. Lol)


I often think of Wanda and Ritzy. "Everything's better with a Ritzy on it... or in it."
