Like everyone, I cannot believe that Chipper is gone. I remember the last time I saw him. I had come over to get my mail and brought some dog treats. We were feeding his "herd" of dogs the treats and just talking about things. We even shared a couple of laughs about the dogs. Then I gave him a ride home. I wish I had known that was going to be the last time I got to see him. I would have hugged him a little tighter, I know that! God bless you, Chipper. I'm glad you were my friend.
