Smokey has gone to be with Phred!

[Catty1]

I hope and pray there is a Heaven. I hope and pray that Smokey was happy and wiggle-butted and tail-waggin' all over the place as he was running to Phred.

Thank you and Carl for giving two special dogs their forever home.

I was also sorry to see this news, but am glad that he and Phred have been reunited! The prayer pups will always be a part of all our families and many thanks to you guys for taking them in! *hugs*

I've talked to you since this happen and you know my heart breaks for you. You were such a blessing to take them in and give them the love that they have known since "Dad" has been gone. I thank you from the bottome of my heart for opening your heart and home to both of them. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love to you both!

Staci, thank you for directing me to this horrible news. Oh, I know - we should be glad when we can ease our pets past their pain and suffering across the rainbow bridge. I am glad, but I also am selfish enough that I have a hard time letting go. I feel as though I have a huge weight on my chest - in sorrow that Smokey is gone.

Diana and Carl - none of us will ever be able to properly thank you for taking these two precious dogs into your home. We know that they received the best of care and lots and lots of love in your home. All of us are beyond grateful.

This loss will be hard on Cinder - please give her extra hugs for me.

It is just life - but things are changing aren't they? I felt it ever since we lost Phred - how many of us loved loved loved that man - he was so good to all of us. I learned a lot from him.

Diana and Carl - I send you warm gentle hugs and many thank you's for all you have done.

Diana and Carl - huge huge hugs to you both from across the miles.
Thank you so much for taking SmokeMutt and Cinders into your loving home. I am sure Phred was there at the RB with ChawKlitt cookied for SmokeMutt.

Once again, as so many have already said, thank you so much for taking care of the Prayer Pups.

Love
Michelle and the Spotties

I'm sorry I didn't see this thread until now. I'm so sorry to hear that Smokey has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
You did a great job taking him and Cinder in and giving them a great Pet Talk home after Phred left us.
I'm sure he was happy to be with Phred again, I hope that Cinder is doing ok and not missing him too much.
Sending hugs to you and your family.
