after Ronald Reagan. Ronnie was purchased on the day of President Reagan's death. My step-father and my daughter decided to buy a black Lab puppy and were having trouble agreeing on a name for him so I suggested the name Ronnie. My step-father was a staunch Republican so the name Ronnie was a given. Ronnie passed away yesterday after living a very long and happy life. Please keep my daughter and her family in your thoughts. Ronnie was a part of her family for many, many years and will be missed by all. He was a beautiful black Lab and although as he grew old, he slowed down and like an old person he grew fragile, slow and stubborn, but he always remained that beautiful black Lab puppy that they brought home many years ago in all our hearts. Rest in peace, Ronnie and go be with Grandpa now.
What a beautiful dog!!!!!! It's always sad to lose a pet. And dogs have way more thinking and skills than people know.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter got Ronnie before my grandson was in Kindergarten and he's in college now. It's hard to believe he's gone. We just figured he was going to live forever.
DeleteR.I.P Ronnie. I am so sorry for all you having this huge loss. But he was 15 yrs old. That is such a long life or a Labrador, but never long enough though right?
ReplyDeleteI have a choc.lab and honestly they are just the best dogs ever. Mine is about to be 11 and she is slowing down. Again, I am sincerely sorry for your loss.
Thank you for your kind words. My daughter will get on here when she has a few free minutes. She's a manager and well, you know how that goes. She appreciates all the nice wonderful things everyone has written.
DeleteSo sorry to hear, he looks like a wonderful dog. Having lost our dog, I can say it is a loss felt still (8 years later). Our dog was part of the family and miss her still.
ReplyDeleteYes losing a pet is difficult. I still miss pets I have lost years ago too. I have 3 dogs now and dread the day I lose any of them. Ronnie was a huge part of my daughter's life for many, many years and he'll always be missed.
DeleteLosing a dog is tough.
ReplyDeleteLosing any pet is tough. We come to love them as a family member and as a family member their passing brings us a lot of pain and sorrow.
Deletebtw, tried to respond to your comment on my blog via email and it bounces back. But thank you for your sweet comments
ReplyDeleteI don't know why it bounced back. My email is red_kitten1@yahoo.com
DeleteLosing a beloved friend is always terrible. Please pass on my condolences.
ReplyDeleteI will do that but my daughter plans to comment herself when she has some free time. She's pretty slammed at work right now. She just had an employee pass away so she's short handed right now.
DeleteLosing a dog is one of the worst heartbreaks in life. I'm so very sorry.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. It is heart breaking for sure and will take a long while to get over. The other pets will definitely miss Ronnie, too.
DeleteIt sounds like he had a good life, a difficult loss
ReplyDeleteRonnie had a very good life. I remember how whenever I would go visit my daughter he'd come out to greet me. I know he was old and I know things can't live forever, but he was the last tie to my father that we had and now Ronnie's gone and we're all very sad.
DeleteI know how hard it it so lose a pet. My condolences.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kirk. That's very kind of you to say.
