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.

Janice
