Thank you so much, Puddi, for the kind words. Somehow, I think that
hole in our hearts is a special one that won't heal - it contains the
spirit of Mahler.

[returns headbutt and offers some treats] These were Mahler's
favorites!

That's exactly how it appeared to me, TT. You and Mahler were very big
on safety. I still have his hard hat.

Oh, Ann. I remember Mahler from so many years ago and how much fun we
all had. I'm sorry you lost your long-time lovely friend. I'm sure
his spirit is still there all around you just as my Gretchen Marie is
still around me.

I remember this, as well, and to say that Mahler's way of dealing with
this innocently misdirected request was nothing short of brilliant would
be an understatement. I think a lot of us laughed until we cried over
this "incident". I'll see if I can find it on Google.

I'm sorry to hear of your lose of Gretchen Marie. She was a special
kitty, so I'm not surprised her spirit is still around.
