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.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Laurie,
I am so sorry to hear that Ronnie lost her battle... 
I know how devastated you must be feeling... But Ronnie is in a better place now and pain free... running with my Jake and all the other tripawd heros that have gone before.
Rest in peace sweet Ronnie...

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

Laurie, I am so so sorry.
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.
My heart aches for you and your girl.
Now, I hope for comfort for you and your family and eternal love for your precious girl.

Thank you all so very much. I have never felt so supported like I do here. Everyone has been so kind and all the kind thought and prayers are so very much appreciated. Animals leave such prints on our hearts it amazes me.
