Chester's Obituary

Almost 5 years ago my husband and I adopted Chester from NEBTR.  He was the sweetest most loyal friend a person could have.  Chester went to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday after a short illness.  My husband and I are devastated but at the same time so very grateful that he was a part of our lives as long as he was.  

Run free my little man until we meet again.  Mama will always love you and will never forget you.  Thank you to Robyn and NEBTR for bringing him into our lives.

Wendy - my deepest sympathies to you & your husband on the loss of your beloved Chester.  - Jenn

Oh Wendy, that is sad news. We are all thinking of you at this painful time. He is without pain and is running like a young puppy on the other side of the bridge. Know that he is always with you in spirit.  - Vicki

Chester Goes to the Rainbow Bridge

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!

Robin

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