Old Chip

[Jeff Christie]

We faced the same issue a few years ago. My vet came to the cottage and put her to sleep in the living room she loved. It could not have been more gracefully done.

Russ- As bad as you feel (and all of us who hunt with dogs have been there) you must start the process of a successor immediately. It helps more than I can describe.

Russ I'm so sorry for your loss. My wife had ordered a plaque with the following saying on it and gave it to me when Gunner passed with a note as if it was from him. I'd like to share the wording with you.

It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the componets of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are. Anonymous

Russ you gave Chip the final act of love that you could and he will always be with you.

Russ, So sorry to hear of your loss. Chip looks like a great partner.
