[Md-sligo] Sad news

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

I am sorry to hear about Chip.  I would let him go, today.  The longer you wait, the harder it will be.  You will need some time, before convention, to overcome your loss.
You need a dog that you can trust.  This is the best move for you and him.  I know it hurts, but you need to think of your health and your future.
Thoughts and prayers.
Terry, Henry and Sophie

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.
