Mario "Poof" April 2006 - June 2, 2023 06/06/2023 - We love Poof. He was the softest and silliest grey and white Scottish Fold around. He was very big, so we called him a Gros Chat. Se ne pas un petit chat, il y a un gros chat. It was so easy to make him purr. He had such round fea tures and was so soft. His last two years were difficult. He survived a rough illness in April-May 2021. The vet said he wasn't going to make it, but he did, and ended up living another comfortable 2 years. At his peak, he was 17 pounds, but went all the way down to 7 pounds during his illness. During his last 2 years, he maintained a weight of 10-12 pounds. He loved basking in the sun, rolling around in catnip, eating temptations treats, and eating grass. His last words were "eeeeee." From Jennifer, Al, Brendan and Brianna. 06/09/2023 - It's been one week since you left us. Seeing your sweet round face makes me sad and wanting to see you in person again, but it also makes me grateful you were here with us in the first place. We are so lucky to have adopted you after your previous owners gave you up for 2 boxer dogs. You are special and we would never have given you up. 06/12/2023 - It's over a week now Mario. I'm growing sadder with the realization that you are gone from us forever. It's painful, but at least you're not suffering anymore. Miss my sweet Poof. xoxo. 06/18/2023 - It's over 2 weeks now Mario. Feeling sad all the time. Miss you so much. We have your tree and other plants, even a palm tree, ready to go for your memorial. I bought you a small cat statue with wings, not sure if I'll put it outside at your tree or keep it in the house with your other stuff. But we miss you terribly. Hope you are well and happy and playing and eating with new friends, maybe even your mom and siblings. Hopefully xoxo 06/16/2023 - Today is 2 weeks Mario. Somehow we have to move on, but it's hard. Missing you more and more each day. I think reality is setting in after the schock. Not a good feeling. Rest well sweet Poof. xoxo 06/13/2023 - Miss you so much Mario, my Poofy cat. Needing to bring you "home" soon. Feeling sad. xoxo 06/14/2023 - Miss you sweet kitty. Your ashes came home today. Feeling so very sad. But at least youre here with us again, just in a different way. Miss and love you sweet Poof. xoxo. Goodnight. 06/20/2023 - Miss you sweet Mario. It's almost 3 whole weeks. I can't believe it. It is not the same in our house without you. I don't know how to move forward without you. We will be planting your tree soon. Your memorial tree. My sweet Poof. Miss you so much. We will continue the Monday night vigils. Goodnight sweet kitty. xoxo 06/21/2023 - We planted your tree tonight Mario. A pussy willow tree. It's very sweet, like you. A memorial for you. We miss you so much sweet Pooof. 06/23/2023 - It's been 3 weeks today Poof. Feeling so sad without you. Miss you so much. It's raining today, you must have sent that to us since it's a sad 3-week day. You're always with us though. Always. Miss you sweet Poof. Love you and hope Rainbow Bridge gives you health and happiness. xoxo. 06/25/2023 - Miss you so much Mario. My sweet Poof. Your memorial tree looks so nice. We're not done yet though. It's a weeping pussy willow tree. There's white stone around it and other plants. We also hung your framed paw prints in our living room. I just miss you so much Poof. Love you. 06/30/2023 - Well today is 4 weeks since we saw you last Mario. Each day I miss you more, I miss petting you, feeding you, listening to your purr, brushing you. But I am glad you're not suffering with your arthritis, hard of hearing, laboured breathing, inability to eat properly and without medication in it, your inability to sit properly or jump and run. But we all miss you so very much. Love you Poof. We'll continue the Monday night vigils and we have your tree outside which helps us cope. Please be well and happy. xoxo 07/01/2023 - Happy Canada Day Poof in Rainbow Bridge! Hope there are many nice things to celebrate. We will be here missing you on our first holiday without you. Love you Mario. xoxo 07/01/2025 - Happy Canada day my sweet Pines, Poof, Mango, and now my Dad. Missing you all as usual, dad, I am struggling with knowing what exactly could have happened to you, and your suffering, your torment, is permanently etched in my mind. Who would have ever thought your life would end that way? I think mistakes were made, both at the hospital and between you and Linda at home. I think you could have lived longer with proper medical care. I should have known, i should have stepped in. I'm sorry. Just like sweet Pines, you suffered, I feel I could have done more. I'm sorry sweet bird, and Mango, I know I could have done more for you. Where's Mango? Mango-bird. Sad. Pls watch over us all my angels, and help me travel safe tomorrow, ty. I'm very tired friends, it's been a long holiday weekend. Goodnight, sleep well, miss & love you all so much, always, xoxo 07/02/2025 - Missing all of my angels, wish each one of you were here, my dad, it's very hard to believe. Do you want us to do the Celebration of Life? I'm going to look at alternatives. I don't know if this is what we should be doing? Help dad, send signs. Or maybe put the money towards a really nice stone for you at the cemetery? Idk. Please help and send signs, please. And O my Pines, Poof, Mango, my life is not the same without you friends. It never will be. Pls send signs as well, I need to know you're around me. I'm very tired friends, I must rest, goodnight , sleep well, miss & love you all so much, and pls watch over us all, ty my sweet angels. xoxo 07/03/2025 - O my Pines, Poof, Mango, my Dad, missing you all in this beautiful weather. I think of you all, all day long. Still trying to figure out Pines & Dad. What happened to you both? And why? Why did we deserve that fate for you both? Mango too. I will never truly understand or be able to put closure to any of you. I'm so tired sweet friends, I must rest. And please help my business friends, I need to know how to market it properly. I know the audience is there, i just have to figure out how to target them. Maybe I will research that tonight before bed. Pls watch over us all, ty. Goodnight, sleep well, miss & love you all so much, xoxo 07/04/2025 - O my sweet Pines, Poof, and Mango, and of course my Dad. It is late and I'm so tired. Dad, Linda really want access to that last bit of money, she has contacted Legal Aid herself. But your grandkids got nothing from you, only her daughter and granddaughter. It's not fair. Need you help pls. And my sweet angels, watch over us pls. I'm tired friends, I must rest. I think of you all constantly, of your sufferings, the memories, and how much I miss you all. Goodnight sweet friends, sleep well, miss & love you all so much, and watch over Rio, Tika, and Blossom, and their babies, ty. โช๐งโ๐ญโฎ๐ฟโช๐ทโ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆโฎ๐๐๐๐โช๐๐๐๐โ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐คโจโจโจโจ 07/05/2025 - O how I miss you all, I think of you all day long, every day, my sweet Pines, Poof, Mango, and now my Dad. It is still hard to believe that you are gone Dad. It doesn't make any sense. You were here and seemed ok at Christmas time, we had no idea that would be our last Christmas with you. What happened? I just don't know. The same with my sweet Pines, what happened? What did you have and why did you get it? Ataxia? Such a horrible disease that took my Pines, and my Dad. And my Mango-bird. Why did you leave us Mango, and where did you go that day? Just so many unanswered questions. Pls watch over us my sweet friends, goodnight, sleep well, miss & love you all so much, xoxo โ๐ฆโช๐โฎ๐ฟโ๐ญโช๐งโฎ๐กโ๐๐๐๐โช๐ค๐ค๐ค๐คโจโจโจโจ 07/06/2025 - O my Pines, Poof, Mango-bird, and now, my dad. I miss all of you so very much, and dad, it is still unbelievable that you are not here. I don't get it, how it all happened, I still remember you clearly in the hospital, getting better, eating, then all of a sudden, gasping for air, unable to talk, and dying in front of our eyes. I'm sorry I didn't do something sooner. Linda shouldn't have been in control. It should have been me. And I remember my Pines, your last two weeks with us, the last few days, Xmas eve, trauma. And Mango-bird, your last day with us, your eye, the last squawk, trauma. and my sweet Poof, your last week with us, and your last night with us, you went outside and even walked around a bit, they layed down on the deck, and that was it. O how I miss each of you in your own ways. Pls watch over us, my angels, goodnight, sleep well, miss & love you all so much, xoxo 07/07/2025 - My sweet angels, it is late, we must rest for the day. O my Pines, Poof, Mango, and my Dad. Where's Tyler Dad? Is he not going to attend your celebration? You didn't get to say goodbye to him. You saw Jay & I, but no Tyler. I'm sorry. He's so lost. I did want him to attend, but I'm not so sure now. I miss you, and I miss my sweet Pines, Poof, Mango, and please friends, watch over us, and Rio, Tika, Blossom, and their babies. They need some help. I can't believe you are gone Dad, just as I felt with my Piney, my Mango, and my Poof. Sad. Like I've said, life will never be the same for me. Goodnight, sleep well, miss & love you all so much, xoxo and send signs my friends, my dad, pls. โ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆโช๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผโฎ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆโ๐๐๐๐โช๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญโฎ๐ง๐ง๐ง๐งโ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟโช๐๐๐๐โฎ๐ค๐ค๐คโชโ๐๐๐๐โจโจโจโจ 07/08/2025 - O my Pines, Poof, Mango, dad, how I miss you all so much. Life is not the same for me, ever. Why did each of you have to leave me? With so many things unanswered. I still can't believe you are gone dad. Your celebration of life is this Saturday. I hope you approve of it, and I hope you are there with us. And watch over Tyler, he didn't get to say goodbye, you didn't see him for the last time, it's just bad. Miss you all. Pls watch over us all my angels. It is late, I must rest. Goodnight, sleep well, miss & love you all so much, xoxo 07/09/2025 - My sweet sweet angels, miss u all so much. O my Pines, Poof, Mango, pls watch over these little baby birds, especially the one Tika kicked out, I don't know how to feed baby birds, so I need your help friends, They need your help. Ty my angels. And Dad, your celebration is fast approaching. We hope we get a decent turnout, and let Tyler show up, he needs to say goodbye, and so do you. Friends, I'm tired & it's late.

True happiness was when you were all here. My life will never be like that again. Not without any of you. My sweet birds, my sweet Poof, my comfort, and my dad won't be here at Christmas, the pizza. We had no idea it would be our last Chrismas Dad. Never would I have expected you to be gone. Never. Pls watch over us sweet friends, and watch over Rio, Tika, and Blossom, pls and their babies.

Dad, I can't believe we are doing this for you. What in the world, how did this happen? Xmas just came and went, you were here, although I don't really know how healthy you were. You would have gotten very sick just a couple of months later. I just wish we had answers. And Linda, I don't think I can deal with her. Really. I just need to get through tomorrow, get your gravestone, and unfreeze that money so that we can pay for it and you can give your grandkids a gift. Help me with that pls, and pls watch over us tomorrow. We chose Mitchell's Bay for you. and O my Pines, Poof, Mango, miss you all so much, help us all tomorrow, keep us safe and healthy, and watch over rio, Tika, Blossom, and the babies, ty.
