I'm coming in a little late, but must offer my condolences. Ronnie wasn't here a long time, but she was a beautiful presence in the time we knew her. I sincerely hope your pain today is soon replaced by the warm, loving memories of your beautiful girl.
RIP sweet Ronnie. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

I am so sorry to hear about Ronnie. 🙁
I saw your post earlier about St Francis of Assisi, here's his prayer, it's beautiful and I think much of the lyrics fit our dogs so well:
You are in my thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.
Hugs,
Dawn

Ronnie was such a beautiful girl and will now always be a beautiful soul.
I'm just floored that with those odds that it should turn out this way.
