To Phred, a cherished friend...Godspeed

Jon "Phred" M. , Retired Cheif Fire Guy, with his pups, Cinder & Smoke

Yesterday there was a mob scene at the Rainbow Bridge. One of furkind's most beloved friends arrived at the gate on "God's Silver Kloud", our dear friend Jon, fondly know as "Phred". There were tails wagging, excited yipping & yapping, and many many licks placed on his ole' face fur sure!

"Phred rescued me!" says Bowser, the little husky mix. "Me too!" chimes in another, and another, and another. "Phred planted a tree in my honor!" "Oh yes, there are many trees" cried several more pups. "And a bench, and a shelter" "Phred calls my people & checks in on them", and "Phred's Prayer Pups prayed fur every one of us at one time or another."

Everyone who knows him, whether through real or virtual means, will miss his kindness, his compassion, and his special brand of humor. Phred had a heart of gold, there are hundreds of stories from folks about how he helped them, generously sharing his wisdom, wit, and wealth, when they were most needed. And nobody can tell a story from a pups' point of view like Phred.

Star, Sherman, my husband JoJoe and I had the pleasure of spending time with Phred at the many picnics he organized for our on-line group of pet owners. People came literally from across the country to these picnics, all of us brought together by our love for our pets, and Phred's amazing ability to make it all happen.

Have a safe journey, dear friend, we'll try & keep things runnin' on this ole' dirtball, but it wont be the same without you. Thanks for everything you've done. Gonna miss our talks. Please keep watch over all our furkids up there, till we all gather again for another picnic in God's big beautiful dog park over the Rainbow Bridge. We love ya!
