Miranda, Amy and Roger, Sorry for you loss. We have plenty wonderful memories with Ronald.

I came home from work one day there was Ronald with our boys and our nephew sitting on our sofa petting a chicken. The boys were laughing and told look behind you mom. I turned and there in a upside down laundry basket were to more wild chickens Ronald and the boys caught and stuffed them in this made up cage. Ronald will truly be missed.
