Wendy Conway, an adopter and a member of the group, lost Chester today.
I was his foster mom a number of years ago, and Wendy adopted him from me.
Wendy and Vern loved him, but last year Wendy saw a lump by his rectum last year and took him right in. Iit was determined to be mast cell and removed with clean margins but it came back as grade 4. He’d been doing pretty good until about a few weeks ago. We talked a couple times over the last week or so and she was struggling with making the decision, she was hoping he’d pass in his sleep. She called me today to say that he hadn’t eaten since Friday and she was going to bring him in tomorrow to euthanize him.
They left for about 2 hours this afternoon to attend her father in-laws birthday party and when they got back he was gone. Needless to say they are both shocked but I told her this was his last gift to her, he knew how much she was struggling with the decision and waited until they left to leave this world.
Run free Chester!

Many sympathies to Wendy and Vern, and thanks to Robin for finding the perfect home for him.
