Sleeping for incredibly long periods of time.

Arrival Story:
We bought Chip from a breeder back in 1994. He was the cutest little thing. He was also the runt of the litter, but ended up being a larger than normal Sheltie (a little less than thirty pounds).

Bio:
Chip has several health problems. He has seizures, an unknown rash on his underside, and an underactive thyroid gland. He has been taking pills for each problem ever since he was a puppy and is still in pretty good health despite those problems. He's also starting to lose his eyesight in his old age. It's now 2008 and Chip has several more health problems - Cushings disease, kidney failure, arthritis, muscle loss. He's obviously not doing well at all. He's still hanging on, though. On August 22, 2008, my beloved Chip went to doggie heaven. You will be missed, baby... =(
