2004 - 2019
Leia was helped over the Bridge this morning at the vet.
I took her in for what I thought was a UTI and discovered that there was a mass on her liver.
Since her last visit, she'd lost a pound from vomiting, and was down to 5.1 pounds.
The vet gave me a huge blessing: there was absolutely nothing that could be done,
regardless of finances. It was, simply, her time.
regardless of finances. It was, simply, her time.
I just can't quite get my head around the fact that she is gone. I wasn't expecting her to not come home with me this morning. No more headbonks or nose rubs or quivering tails. No more rushing out to greet me when I come home. No more spontaneous outbreaks of toy time. No more chirps and trills.
For close to 15 years our life has been about three. How do I make it be about two now?
I am so sorry for the loss of beautiful Leia. I wish I had some words of comfort for you at this awful time. XO

We're so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Leia. Such a beautiful girl...your heart must be breaking. Sending you love and light. ❤️
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful ladycat. I think Mr. Teeth and Clarkie and a whole bunch of other ManCats were lined up at the other end of the Bridge, tails a-quiver, waiting for her to arrive so they could be first to greet her. We know you will be sad for a long time, and we send you our love and best purrs XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. It is hard to say goodbye.
ReplyDeleteThat time comes to all but it never gets any easier. We are sad it was time to say good-bye to Princess Leia. We know you miss her and will always love her. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWe are so very sorry to read this news. Their time with us is never enough, and we are sad to know this was entirely unexpected. She will no doubt be missed terribly—beautiful little girl. Sending you much love and peace.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your question, you love the 2 and remember the ONE who is also safely in your heart forever...
ReplyDeleteBut we are so sorry for this hard loss. No length of time is enough. Our thoughts and purrs to you at this sad time of parting...
Oh no...I am so sorry for your loss. The lack of forewarning makes it so hard, I can empathize. Sending you a big e-hug. Leia had a wonderful life with you and how lucky were you to give that to her? xx
ReplyDeleteWe're so very sorry to hear of your sweet Leia's passing. We are at a loss for words, but please know that we send gentle purrs, peace and love to you and Toby, as you mourn the loss of your princess. XO
ReplyDeleteOh no...I’m in shock.. It’s so unexpected. I’m so sorry your sweet Leia has left for the bridge. She was such a beautiful girl and so lucky to have a loving home and family. Please know my thoughts are with you. Sending hugs.
ReplyDeleteWe are so very sorry. There are so many who have gone before who will welcome her and they will run through the grasses and be free from all illnesses.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine how you feel - I feel shell-shocked at the news. It's so unfair that we can't have them for our lifetime. Bear's time is coming and I won't know how to live without him - quite possibly not want to live at all. He's my life. I imagine it's the same with Leia. If you ever need to talk ... please let me know!
ReplyDeleteTruly ... PLEASE let me know. You aren't alone and I care!
DeleteI am so shocked to hear this, so I can imagine how you must feel. This is heartbreaking and I am so sorry. What a happy girl Leia was and that’s because she was loved and knew it. I do wish there was some kind of comfort I could provide. I will be thinking of you and Toby.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm SO sorry and heartbroken for you. We loved seeing Leia on your blog and she is leaving a big hole in our hearts too.
ReplyDeleteThese are the moments we all dread but, sadly, have to face. Leia knew great love with you, and she left with all that love.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. I was shocked to turn the computer on this morning and see such sad news. Leia was beautiful and always will be, and she will live on in your heart. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs.
So very sorry for your huge loss of sweet Leia. (((hugs)))

ReplyDeleteWe are all so very sorry to hear about dear Leia. Purrs, hugs and love from all of us.
ReplyDeleteDearest Leia...I am truly sorry to read about your passing and especially sorry for Mom and Toby left to learn to be two. You fought like a warrior for a very long time. I know a sick tummy and nausea is no fun...so dear one I send you wishes for sun filled days, once again running and romping care free and most of all may you have gentle warm breezes on your furs. You were loved and will be truly missed. I know by now you have run into all your furry friends OTRB
ReplyDeleteand you and Angel Madi can enjoy sunpuddles

ReplyDeleteWe are so saddened to hear this news, truly.

Such a terrible event, a terrible loss. We always know that they will leave us one day, but we never really expect that day to come. When it does, it’s heart-breaking. Godspeed, Leia.

ReplyDeleteOh, no!!!!! We are so very sorry to hear this sad news. Sending lots of hugs!
