Is it
weird that I photograph
other people's dogs for my blog?
I think not.
Meet
Chester.
Sweetest. Dog. Ever! Did I mention he's over
200 pounds?!?
We met
Chester in the park today.
Actually, I saw him all the way across the park. I have this talent for spotting
Newfies from miles away. We
immediately made a beeline over to pet him.
As I was marveling at his
fluffiness, I noticed a
scar on the top of his nose and asked his owner what had happened. She told me that
Chester was 5 years old, and she had owned him for 3 years.
Chester had been rescued from a house of
hoarders. Poor thing was only
90 pounds when she got him, had
infections in his paws, and had a
terrible gash on his nose:(
She nursed this
marvelous creature back to health and the only way you would notice anything was by the
scar on his nose.
I asked her how it affected his personality, and she said he was the
sweetest, most
laid back dog she had ever met...but that he had a
large stubborn streak, and she was having a tough time keeping him out of the
Lincoln Park Conservatory Fountain...Oh, and that water you see going down his neck, was due to
her failure to keep him out of the
Lily Pond;)
I heart
Chester=)
