I'm sorry to bring this to you on such a beautiful Monday morning, but could not get myself to write about it over the weekend. Our Lieben passed away on Saturday. She had started to go downhill during the week and on Friday stopped eating or drinking, except for a little water we could get into her with an eyedropper. It became clear on Friday night that she was in distress and we knew that if she did not go on her own overnight we would have to take her to the vet. Unfortunately, we did have to do that Saturday morning.

She lived for about 6 months after she became sick - a lot longer than anyone thought she might, so we are grateful for that time with her. Up until Friday, she was alert and reasonably active for a cat with such a horrible disease.

Dh and I have no children, so our cats mean the world to us. We miss her very much and know that it will take awhile before we can re-focus our thoughts on just the good memories of her. For now, we are comforted a bit knowing that surely, when Lieben left us she was met by Hupfen, our cat who passed three years ago and that they are probably sitting in God's lap getting the love they both deserve.

Oh, Janet, I'm so so sorry. I know your heart must be broken. It's so sad to lose a cherished pet! I'll be thinking of you and your dh today, hoping you find comfort in each other.

Lighting a little candle for Lieben,

Hugs, Pam

Many hugs for you & T! It is so difficult to lose these special members of our families. What a lucky little girl she was to have had you both and you to have loved her. Take care sweetie. XO
