Sorry to learn about Dante, it is truly sad to lose a pet in such a way, although, another way to look at it is that he had your company to go through life and transition. I know it's a small consolation, but it may go a long way for him.
And little Ron looks adorable, and it may be the universe letting you know that you've got more love to give, and to receive from yet another furry companion, so it sounds like a little blessing.
