[Md-sligo] Sad news

[Janice Toothman]

With a grief-strickened heart, I have had to make a decision to retire 
Chip.  The trainer and I worked with him yesterday and today.  But 
despite our efforts, he showed no desire to work and refused to 
move-often sitting down in the street.

I have to make a decision by 1:00Pm today whether the trainer takes him 
today or whether I can have him for a little longer to say good-bye 
knowing that he unable to serve as an effective and safe mobility tool 
is.  But that a puppy walker can come come and take him on the 26 before 
I leave for convention.

As Greg, the trainer say, he is a wonderful dog but that is 
insufficient. But that doesn't help me.  He has been my constant 
companion.  He has alerted me to sounds. I love him and this is 
devastating.
