Rav'nLeigh Border Collies

SAD DAY AT RAV'NLEIGH:  After over two weeks of not eating, loosing over 11 pounds, and lots of tests and bloodwork, Lucy crosses the Rainbow Bridge.  It is going to be hard not having her around, and is going to be greatly missed by many.  Wait for me, my sweet lady, I will see you again someday! 

Even More Sadness: After a quick onset of lung cancer, my sweet Maggie has crossed the bridge to join our Lucy.  The house is too quiet with you gone Maggie; you have touched more lives than you know and are going to be missed by all! Both of you wait for us, as we will all be together again someday!

It has been over a year since losing out Lucy and nearly a year for Maggie.  Not a day goes by where I do not think of them.  You girls are both greatly missed, and we all hope that Rainbow Bridge is treating you well.

Love you forever, miss you for always.....
