My profile pic is of Bosco Bodini, who I got as a feisty little kitten in Sept 2008. Bosco loved to watch KU BB games with me, I think he enjoyed me yelling at the TV. He would watch every game with me. A friend of mine in Bonner made him a "jersey". I wasn't sure if he would wear it but he did and he seemed to like it. So if a game got close or heaven forbid, we were losing, Bosco had to suit up. It was part of our mojo.

Bosco headed to the Rainbow Bridge Oct 12, 2023 and he was buried with his jersey.

Last night was my first game without him. I would catch myself glancing over at at the couch where he would sit, waiting to suit up.
I think he really would have enjoyed that game.

It'll feel better when it stops hurting

Condolences, sasnak. Mrs. HE and I know it had to be a tough night for you without your bosom buddy Bosco Bodini “on the bench” with you.

Not off topic at all!! Anytime we lose a member of the RCZ we all feel it. :unsure:

Bosco Bodini was a revered member of the board even if by proxy. We share your pain. :(

Extra treats for Oliver and Dulce in the Bayhawk house in honor of your guy,

So now Bosco is sitting on a couch with Dr. Naismith watching. :dry:

My condolences. These little furry family members are extremely important.
