Leia (2007-2022); in Chicago during “snowmageddon”. Leia was my husband’s baby; she loved him so much that it made her crazy. She had separation anxiety and would bark at him for sneezing. She got into a lot of trouble – she escaped her crate and dug out his mattress TWICE, she once jumped off a second story rooftop, she once ate 2lbs of cashew brittle in one sitting (long story), she would dig through the trash and counter surf, and she was a big bully – loved to bully Pluto & Cleo. She was our crazy animal but we loved her so much. It took us years to diagnose her Addison’s disease and her health was not optimal during those years. She endured every discomfort and to her Vet’s astonishment always got better. We lost count of how many lives Leia had. She became mellow in her golden years. She became of a creature of comfort. She loved the home cooked meals mommy made and her bed was the best spot in the world. She would grumpily accompany us on our ski and camping trips. We miss her and her craziness so much.
-Love you forever, Deepika, Marcus, Arya & Alisha
