Frenchie: 1998-2008  On December 22nd, we bid a sad adieu to our brofur Frenchie. Before he left for Rainbow Bridge, he told us: "Please tell mes amis that I donut want them to grieve fur me. I left a bottle of vintage champagne under table #3 ... just suggest they drink a toast in remembrance of moi and our many amis at the Bridge." We did not want to let him go, but all our tears and purrs could not prevent his departure.

Posted by ET on December 29, 2008:  It is with deep sadness that I say farewell to my furriend Frenchie. He was lucky, like I was, to wander up to our forever homes. We've celebrated at parties throughout the years, and I knew I could count on him for any favor. It was just like him to leave us a bottle of his favorite champagne. Let us gather together an drink to our good furriend...until we meet again.

Soft purrs,
E.T.
