Chester

CHESTER made the top 100 in the Orange County Register photo contest! Chester lives with Mario, who wrote in to Goldendoodles.com and asked a special favour - "LOVE your website! Ever since we got Chester 3 years ago, we have been stopped everywhere whenever we take him out. YOUR SITE makes things very clear to Goldendoodle owners, and my wife and I really appreciate it! I love the way you are able to get so many issues out there for us to read about. Now to what I am asking for regarding help from you. A VERY MINOR request. I live in Orange County, Ca. for years, or biggest newspaper has run a dogs face contest and Goldendoodles NEVER get any recognition. Now this year, as always, I am entering Chester (See his pictures attached to this email). Here is the website link so you can check it out, or go to the website of the Orange County Register in California and check out the mydogsface contest. Chester is the "Chester from Mission Viejo". I also have a Craigslist ad asking dog lovers to vote for him. Here is the Craigslist link to what I was asking people to do (vote for him if they wanted to). People can vote as many times as they want. Would you be so kind as to email your list of people and ask them to vote for Chester(Maybe forward the craiglist link) so our breed gets recognition? Our breed will show up on the FRONT PAGE of the paper and they will finally get the recognition they deserve! The contest ends Sept 29th and people can vote over and over if they want to." Doodle owners unite! As it happens, Chester is one handsome Dood, so when we put a link to Mario's Craiglist ad, many many Goldendoodle lovers went the distance and voted for Chester! Here's Mario's ad, telling people about Chester and the photo contest http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pet/843034667.html Congratulations to Chester and Mario! Thank you both for spreading the word about these wonderful dogs!

Chester February 15, 2005 - June 12, 2019

https://youtu.be/VnstASEAmNs Jennifer put this together for everyone to remember Chester, our family dog for over 14 years. If you're like me the excellent effort made by Jennifer, Chester's human sister and our youngest , will make you cry, but it's amazing.... so I would first like to thank her for taking the time on the day we lost Chester to put this short video together. When we first got him he was only 12 weeks old. Chester was simply amazing. He loved everyone and had a great life. We took him on long road trips, he's been out on the road often and stayed in hotels with us, he's been on thousands of rides and walks, and went regularly to the beach, to the mountains... and he enjoyed these things until the end. An indoor dog, he was always in air conditioned comfort unless he wanted to go outside which he did often. A lot of people don't know that Chester's left eye had his lens dislodged and he required surgery. When he was only three he had an intraocular implant and I always felt that meant he was part bionic like the Six Million Dollar Man. Two years ago we brought Ollie, a puppy and goldendoodle rescue (from the pound of all places), into our home. I believe Ollie helped Chester live these last 2 years because he kept Chester playing, moving and alert. As Chester got older he had trouble getting into the car, or on the couch, so we got him a ramp to climb and a sling to support him on walks. More recently he got a doggie wheelchair which allowed him one last trip to to the mountains in late April this year. He was so happy. Chester would always hug you by burying his head into that crook between your arm and your chest and push up against you. He would look at you & smile and you could just see the love in his eyes every moment of every day of every year and it never stopped. If there was ever a harsh word in the house he would immediately leave the room and go upstairs because he would have none of it. If there was any yelling he would bark at the offender to tell them to knock it off. Chester was the heart of our house and the conscience of our family. By the way if you're wondering how Oliver is doing he's been a little down lately but we're spending a lot of time with him and we're not leaving him alone for very long until he gets used to it. Whether or not we will get him another companion is something we're thinking of but Oliver is okay and he seems to be getting better and happier everyday as he gets used to the idea of Chester not being here. In his last days, Chester suddenly couldn't lift his head much and collapsed every time he went out. We knew that he was suddenly telling us that it was time, a time that we knew was coming but simply didn't want to face. We had enough sense to know that we didn't want him to suffer, and when the day came he still conducted himself with tremendous dignity. He always behaved.... and even in his later years still would tell us when he had to go outside to do his business, even on his last day which demonstrated his commitment to being a good dog up until the last moments. The veterinarian said he had an extremely strong heart as she gently did her job in our home..... and we said goodbye as Chester lay down his bed with our entire family present including Oliver... surrounding him.... petting him and talking to him ... through many tears, every moment until the very end. I know he felt love every day including his last day from those around him and if you have come to this channel and have either seen it in years past or it's your first time, I hope some of this love is passed on to you. Chester February 15, 2005 - June 12, 2019. We'll all see you again someday buddy. You'll always be the best good boy that ever lived. Ever. x
