Feel Good Friday: Chester
For this #FeelGoodFriday we want to introduce you to Chester’s (fka Smokey) adoption story. Stories like this is why we do what we do, so we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.
At the time, I had two dogs, an elderly Doberman/lab mix (Ella) and a pitbull lab mix who was about 2 years old at the time (Frankie). My husband did NOT want another dog but I somehow convinced him that we should “foster” Smokey when he was well enough to leave the vet.
Well, the day before Smokey was going to be allowed to leave, Ella suddenly died. She was a large dog, close to 100 pounds, and was almost 16, so we knew it was coming but of course we were bereft. In the midst of the grief however I had a flash that Ella knew that I had found “the dog” and that it was okay for her to go.
