April 1st 2006

"Giant size" nylabones, tennis balls,frisbee. He loves to fetch.

Anything in front of his nose. He gets Wellness dry food and always wants more.He loves occasional vanilla ice cream and healthy dog biscuits.

Best Tricks:
Being incredibly handsome and loving. He makes my heart melt!
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.

Now, I actually don't mind being outside in a gentle rain, but thunder is a totally different story. Yesterday the rain didn't come in the afternoon, but it got humid, which was yucky. Then it started to THUNDER that night! Loud thunder. Repeatedly.
I went to Mom- Ma, make it stop! She made some silly reassuring noises and said that it couldn't hurt hurt me, it was just loud. She clearly has no idea how dangerous it is.
Does thunder scare you, students? How do you react? Does anything comfort you?? Have you tried a "thunder shirt"? Did it work for you?

There are many good things about rain- it waters grass and other plants, it's good to drink, it's cool and refreshing, it makes great mud...But ENOUGH already!! It has rained almost every day for weeks! And when it's not raining, it's overcast and gray and looks like it wants to rain- go, away already!
I want more sunshine and fewer clouds! I am not a Lab and I don't play one on TV. I want to take care of my pawsonal bathroom needs without getting soaked all the time. I'm starting to grow moss, I think.
Do you like rain, students? Will you walk in it and potty in it? Does it matter to you if it's cold or warm when it rains? If you are a Lab or Lab-mix, how do you feel about water from the sky?
At least my Mom hasn't bought me one of those silly raincoats yet.

I'm sorry that I didn't post my class on Tuesday- my secretary is really pushing it....
I was laying out in the yard today, thinking about grass. Actually I was "grazing" as Mom calls it.
And then I rested in the soft, cool, buggy grass- heaven after a long, cold, wet Spring!
My Mom accidently deleted your 2 comments, students, in correcting this entry but- YES- we need to eat grass! Mom makes sure I choose wild places or yards that do not have fertilizer or chemicals on them, then she lets me eat to my heart's and stomach's content! We dogs know what's good for us- except when Minnie eats poop- but I digress.... We usually know what's good for us and we need grass as part of a balanced diet!
My name is Chester and I graze like a cow!
What about you, students- do you like to graze? Do your pawrents understand and support your need for grass?
The human named Walt Whitman wrote a book called Leaves of Grass, which contained the line, "I loaf and invite my soul"... The man understood the power and the glory of grass!
