About Chips
Chips
Chippy was the most soft hearted, sweet man you could ask for. He fit in straight away with our large fury family and became our son Dustin's main man. He is so devoted and faithful to Dusty it is amazing. They had one of those life time soul bonds that everyone in their own life time should have the chance to experience.
We lost our beautiful chippy was too soon in his life. He has left a huge hole in our hearts.
Chippy ate a plastic bag that had dog roll remains in it (my mum feed her little dogs it). He didn't actually show signs of it until many weeks later when the bag had been sitting in his bowel and done damage. They operated as soon as it was found but had to remove a massive amount of bowel that had been affected. Chip spent many days in hospital before returning home for recovery. From then on, he had good days and bag, he use to get cramps in his bowel which made him sound painful when going to the toilet, so he was medicated to help. His bowels would fluctuate from runny to only slightly formed. He was unable to maintain weight no matter what diets we tried and believe me we tried many. Chips coat never came back to the same gorgeous golden colour and he often needed vet checkups. He became unwell one winter and developed a pneumonia, he's whole system went into a melt down and shut down, he didn't have the weight or strength to fight it and we lost him. Way too soon. Our hearts still break thinking of our beautiful boy, taken too soon.
My heartfelt love goes out to Dusty who lost his best friend.
We loved you Chippy, more than words could ever say x
