Ciara has been at war with the evil monster for almost three years. She has fought long and hard to fight back, along with all of the POTP you have sent her way. This week alone she has engaged in a multitude of battles.
PURE AND INNOCENT SWEETNESS
vs.
VICIOUS AND MONSTROUS EVIL
Today she had one battle too many, and the monster won. We lost our sweet and precious girl to the claws of a vicious, relentless, and wicked attacker.
CIARA

We love you and we miss you and we will never forget you.

Oh, Kathie, I am so sorry! I know you fought hard for her and she fought hard to stay. I can imagine how painful this is for you. There are no words. Sending a warm hug.

I am so so sorry. I remember her as a puppy and have enjoyed watching her grow up. She was beautiful. Hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteMonty, Harlow, Ramble, Aaron and Christine
Oh my goodness we are just so very very very sad and heartbroken for you all.
ReplyDeleteCiara was such a fighter and tried so hard. I don't know much about seizures but have heard each one takes its toll even though the person/animal seems to recover. God bless you for being such a loving and tender mom to her. You fought as hard as she did and I know you felt like you had a seizuer each time she had one. Thunder, whom I know she missed dearly, Phantom and Dakota and all the other angels were there waiting for her I know.
I wish I could do something to ease your pain and loss. I know for certain Ciara is now finally free of the horrible monster who would not let her rest.
Extra hugs and love to you and Ligtning and Woo Dad
Cecilia and Madi
I have no words, Miss Kathie. My heart is broken, and my whole family cries with you tonight.
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts are with you and your family. Run free Ciara!

Oh Kathie our hearts are hurting right beside you.

Oh I am so very sorry to read about Ciara - she was such a brave soul and fought a good fight. I know this must have been such a shock since she seemed to be hanging on. I know I didn't comment much but I did try to read all that I could. I pray that my Angel Shiloh was there to greet her as she crossed the Rainbow Bridge and they are now running while baying and wooing together - neither in any more pain.
ReplyDeleteMom Kim & Lady Shasta

ReplyDeleteOh, Kathie... I am so very sorry. I'm in disbelief and totally heartbroken for you. There is never enough time to spend with those you love, but it's impossible to understand when that time is cut short. Ciara was blessed to have you as her Mom... and I know you feel blessed to have shared her life.
ReplyDeleteThough we've been a bit absent from the blog world lately, The Pack is never far from our thoughts. We love Ciara. We love you, Dad and Lightning... and I hope you can feel a bit of comfort headed your way.

ReplyDeleteI was very sorry to read of Ciara's passing. She was clearly loved and just as clearly wanted to stay with her family. You will all be reunited one day. Until then, godspeed, Ciara.
ReplyDeleteWe just found out about Ciara now after ghostwriter came home from work. We're so shocked and filled with sadness. Even Dad is crying! I'm sending cocker spaniel hugs and kisses, and ghostwriter and Dad are sending their deepest condolences to Ciara's family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! My heart goes out to you all.
ReplyDeleteHowls of sadness at this sudden turn and gentle nuzzles of comfort as you struggle to work through the pain. We understand and share your tears at the monster stealing sweet Ciara too soon. We ask the Universe to provide the peace that comes from living lives entwined in total commitment and love to each other. Tonight we will sit on the deck and look for the new special star that tells us our friend is over the bridge and forever free of the pain and fear. Special love to poor Lightning.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. We send our condolences and comforting purrs.
ReplyDeleteThere is a whole in our hearts...but certainly nowhere near the size of the one you all have as Ciara joins the angels. Bless her she really went through so much - as did all of you....but now, no more evil monsters will follow her as she dons her wings and snuggles close to Thunder and Phantom safe from the seizures that haunted her. We are so sad for all of you....and pray that peace will come soon. Lots of hugs to you..........
ReplyDeleteLove, Pam and Sammy
We are thinking of you. Hugs♥
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Run free dear Ciara. You are very much loved and missed.
ReplyDeleteMy heart just broke when I read the news about Ciara. We were all rooting for her to beat the evil monster. But she is at peace now with her beautiful brothers Angel Thunder, Angel Dakota and Angel Phantom. I am sure they are all so happy to be reunited. Most importantly, she is finally free of the horrible seizures. Lots of love and support coming your way. Run free, beautiful Ciara
ReplyDeleteOh Kathie, I am so sorry. I have been without internet so just found out. I am crying my eyes out. You and Ciara sure put up a good fight. Just know she is watching over you and she had the best home with all that love that she could possibly have. We sure send many big hugs. Thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteI hope she finds Cole to run with, he left us two months ago having lost the battle with cancer. My heart is still broken too. I share the pain of loss. LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear this. I hope you aren't blaming yourself. Ciara had a good life, and she fought the good fight. Right now it's time to grieve, and to comfort Lightning as he grieves too. You are all in our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteRun free Ciara sweetie. So sorry for your loss. You both fought so hard against the monster. Sending much love and hugs xx
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry.

First I read about Natasha, now Ciara too! I'm so sorry for the love of your sweet girl. I'm heartbroken that she is gone.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. Warm thoughts.

ReplyDeleteI know there are no words to ease your aching heart but know we all share your grief. I hope tender thoughts and sweet memories of your fur-baby provide some comfort to you and your family. So sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, I am away for a couple of days at Lake Tahoe and saw Ann Adamus' announcement when I was sitting on a dock enjoying the glory of the lake and the mountains. I sobbed over Ciara, but a fitting place for me to send her free from the horrible seizures to the sweet Sibe sibs Phantom and Thunder and Dakota. Her silver harness is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you lost your dear Ciara. She will forever be in your heart, and of those that knew and loved her. Sending big hugs, because those are all I can do...other than joining in the sobs...
ReplyDeleteFly freely with your angel furblings, Ciara. You are such a precious angel.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know there aren't words to stop the heartbreak but know that your sorrow is shared among your friends. ♥
ReplyDeleteOur hearts go out to you. Ciara fought the viscous S monster for so long, and you fought alongside her. RIP sweet angel, wear your silver harness with pride. Sending prayers and hugs to your family.
ReplyDeleteJust heartbreaking. I remember how I cried when sweet Dakota left us...and with each time, I feel like I am losing a friend. The blogging world has the ability to bring us close together, while miles apart.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry for the loss of this beautiful girl...Ciara still had so much life ahead. She will be missed...always loved and cherished.
Prayers to you and your family.

Kathie, I am so so sorry to hear this. Sweet Ciara was so brave and never deserved to have this awful monster stalk her.
