I just wanted to stop by the Thursday thread to check out Mario's pictures.

He was a wonderful part of Pet Talk and will be missed like crazy.

I was hoping I would come here today and find I had a horrible nightmare but, sadly, it's a real nightmare.

The picture of Mario with the blueberries is the pic I always keep of him in my head. He will be so missed.

For some reason, I have a feeling the Rainbow Bridge is being turned upside down right about now. Mario, Sophie bunnie, Boots da kat, Bowser, Stewie, Leroy ... so many of our precious pets are there ; mercy me what a party must be going on over there!

Holidays won't be quite as festive here without Mario's decorating touch. No one can decorate a ceiling fan like Mario.

Oh yes Momo, I remember so well seeing Mario swinging from the rafters. As a fashion statement, he even wore some of the "unmentionables" that were thrown up there!!!

Dear sweet Mario, I hesitate to say that Thursdays may still hold laughter, but it just won't be the same without you here.

I know he will be here in spirit though. Some dim evening when we are all sitting around enjoying our onion rings and beverages, that ceiling fan will move...seemingly all on its own. Or maybe we will hear strange noises coming from the L & F...wait a minute...we already hear strange noises, especially when Richard is locked in there.

Point is, Mario will make his presence known in a very subtle way. Here's to Mario! None of us actually "met" you but we all "know" you and love you.

Cheers Mario!!!!!

Now, let's send some strong healing vibes to Willie and the family. We all know the hurt of losing a pet. Perhaps our prayers will help ease the pain for all of them.

A cyber-candle is lit for you Willie, for your loss of Mario.

Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing Mario with us. He will always be part of the spirit that is Thursdays. (les)
