My tears are once again falling. My heart is so broken from all the reports that have flooded the Face-book pages. Reports that have sad news for us once again. News that a Brave Hero has fallen for their Bravery. R.I.P. Dear Ronin. You will be greeted by great crowds of loved ones on the other side of The Rainbow Bridge. It is so heart breaking for your Handler's to say good-bye, but they will surely be Blessed when once again they get to look in your big bright eye's. My condolences to all of the Brave Human Handlers that has had to say "See ya again ole friend" My prayer's for all that have lost that Special Forever Friend.
