Some know me as Katherina von Lehmann. I like to dabble in various activities. My most recent are stained glass, calligraphy, and kumihimo.
Yesterday, 11 Sep 2025, Randy and I made the hard choice to peacefully end Bagheera's suffering. He enjoyed some time in the sun before the rain moved in and he crossed the rainbow bridge. I know he was met by my previous kitties and they are all waiting for me.

For the last couple of months Randy and I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with Bagheera. This morning Bagheera had a Vet appointment. It was confirmed that his intestinal cancer is getting the better of him. End of life schedule will be determined soon.

5 years ago today two beings (Chewie and Bagheera) came into Randy's and my life. I would change nothing, if given the choice. This day also officially marks the line that Bagheera's life has more good than bad in it.

I am trying very hard to live in the present. The last few weeks have been very stressful. Bagheera he's 3 masses in his intestines. We are waiting on a cancer/not cancer determination for the biopsies.

The last 1.5 years have been very hard on too many fronts. There have been many days when I just didn't want to get out of bed, I did any way. To be fair I had some motivation. His name is Chewie a.k.a my weekend alarm clock.

This past weekend I experienced what a truly life giving community looks and feels like. I will NOT be renewing my SCA membership in September.

Many of you know that for the past year Randy has been in Farmington, NM dealing with his elderly parents. That means I have been home with Chewie and Bagheera. I found out how many of my "friends" from the SCA actually feel about me.

“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave.Nothing could vanquish me.”~Cheryl Strayed

Some of you know that Randy has been in Farmington most of this year dealing with elderly parent stuff. That has left me at home with Chewie and Bagheera. There have been a lot of emotions to deal with. I GREALTY appreciate everyone who has supported me.
