Arrival Story:
I read about him on one of my rescue email lists. He had been living with a family in SC that allowed their young children to drag him by his ears and step on him. They fed him mac & cheese, which made him sick. When Trey, who was visiting, asked them to be nice to the puppy, the Mom replied they didn't want him & were taking him to a shelter, so it didn't matter. Trey took him to his Mom, Roxanne, (hurray!) thus saving his life. I volunteered to take him, thinking that he'll mesh with our current 2 dogs, a Boxer and a German Shepherd. Then I found out that the rescue transport I had already volunteered to do was leaving 7 miles from his rescuer's town- this little guy is supposed to be with us, I believe. He arrives on the transport tomorrow afternoon! Update: 3 years after he arrived as a poop-covered puppy, Chester has grown into a nearly 70 pound, extremely loving dog who makes me smile every day. Please adopt- for the animal's sake and yours!

Bio:
I told our GSD, McKinley and Boxer, Honey (both spayed/neutered) that Chester would be their "love child". He sure looks like it.

Diary of a Big Dog


My cast is off now

It was on for a week and my regular vet took it off before it could start causing problems.

I feel much better now that I can see and clean my own paw!

(I didn't take it off myself, Pennie, because a dogter put it on and I wanted a dogter to take it off...)

I hope all my other Pals are doing well. I saw an especially bright, shiny star that looked like it eas SMILING last nigtht, so I know Sasha is safe at the Bridge.

How did I break my little toe, you ask?

There was a GIANT, ENORMOUS, REALLY BIG skunk in the ravine near Aunt Susan's house. Minnie and I broke away from our safe leashed walk and went racing over to meet him! Minnie, as previously mentioned, got sprayed. I stepped weird on a rock and...the rest is history.

More painfully, I just read that my great friend Sasha, with the fabulous pittie SMILE, has gone to the Bridge in my absence from Dogster.

Smile on, Angel Sasha- love you lots.

Chester, crying about the news I just learned

Sister Minnie and I are home with Mom now! I broke the little toe on one foot at the farm and Minnie got sprayed by a skunk- good times! I'll try to post a pix of me in my walking cast- Minnnie's smell du skunk is gone, so you'll just have to imagine it!
