[Md-sligo] Sad news

[Brown, Debbie]

I'm sorry to hear about Chip.  This is a difficult business of connecting with a dog.  I know I am not tough enough for it.  I hope he will find a loving home, and I hope it won't be too long before you can find the right dog for you.

Debbie

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
