Everyone is already in love with Shmi's & Rey's personalities so we just know Leia will too.

Loki had developed a tumour on his scent gland and we booked him in with a double appointment so they could both be seen quickly. Loki was uncomfortable as soon as it began to show up and due to him being so irritated in the evening he began to make it worse for himself. Loki was an elder...
