Update on Copper..

So one of his lumps popped and required a trip to our emergency vet because the spot wouldn’t stop bleeding. We were there for 7 hours and we found out that one of his lumps is cancerous. The vet said we caught it early so treatment has a high success rate. No photos were taken on this trip to the vet so I will include other pictures of my boy. Time to bring out the neck pillow again!

Chester 💕💜

Today marks 6 years since he passed. Chester was my first basset hound, Chester sparked my now lifelong love and adoration for the breed. When I met him, it was my first day meeting my parents as well. I was adopted when I was seven years old. After the initial meeting they brought me and my three sisters out to the car and introduced us to Chester. The very first thing I said was “That’s not a dog. What is it?” Little did I know that he would have such a huge impact on me. He was a very good boy and is dearly missed by my family. After the adoption was finalized and we moved in with mom and dad Chester was with us everywhere. We were inside playing the Wii? He was getting in the way laying at our feet. We were outside playing in the yard? He was laying outside to keep an eye on us. He was loyal. One time I fell off of our play house and Chester was outside and he knew something was wrong and he ran inside and got my mom’s attention and she knew something was wrong because of how he was barking. She came out and saw me crying on the ground. Turns out I had broken my ankle and without Chester being there my mom wouldn’t have known something was wrong. Chester protected us. When I needed a friend to hug or a shoulder to cry on, he was there. Chester scared off a snake once. He could’ve been bit! (We were in the mountains so it was a venomous snake) he was just the best and I miss him very much. Thank you for the 12 years of memories my friend.
