When I found out Chipper had cancer the vet told me that he had 6-8 weeks left. He told me that I would soon have to make that difficult decision to let go. I asked the vet, how will I know when it's time and he just said you will know. The day came when Chipper told me. I just looked into his eyes and I just knew that it was time. His beautiful brown eyes spoke to my heart. I still cry when I remember that soulful look but I know that Chipper said it was OK to let go.
