1993-2009

Chester, my lovely little buddy,
I love that dog so much.
Brittany spaniel
orange on white,
high set ears, soft silky hair
permanent smile
Boundless energy.
Loves people
Addicted to the ball with the bell
Engaging anyone to play fetch with him
He's in charge of the game.

He died today, after nearly 16 years
not a surprise, we called it in
He began to drift
Legs with their own mind
but he was still willing to be with you.

Bike rides,
Boat rides,
Supervising Bill's yard work,
Fishing, hunting,
Always doing his part
He just wanted to be with you

Ice cream
cookies
turkey
cat food
but dog food???
Okay, if you insist.

I've learned your every move
every twitch and turn
I'll help you when you can't
It is my honor.

What a loving companion to have
Chester,
You are part of me
Don't ever leave.

Comments would be appreciated by the author, Lois
