| - Hey Chester,
This was your favorite park ever since you were a little pup barely big enough to realize your size against all of the other big dogs.
Do you remember the first time we came here? We were with your other Boxer friends and you caught a whiff of something exciting and veered off trail. I panicked because when I turned around you weren't there. We retraced our steps, circled around backwards and frontwards. To my relief, a good Samaritan called me and told me you were back by the front gates.
When we looped back around, you bursted out in happy wiggle butts and we continued our trek.
When your immune system weakened from all of the chemotherapy and drugs, you couldn't go in to the actual dog park area so we would walk the Ice Age Trail section of the park.
No matter how weak you felt, or how sick you became, you were always back to your pre-Cancer self at this park. I'd look for your little stub of a tail and sure enough, it was always at it's optimum 90 degree angle.
Watching you play hide and seek with your brother always made for the best entertainment, at the expense of your little brother. I loved watching you explore every inch, every scent of this park. You would literally make your own path and your brother would blindly follow.
When it was fall, the crabapple tree would shed its fruit. You always wanted to play soccer with the bounty. Everything was a game, the world was your sandbox. You were so playful, even when you bit into a rotten apple. The face you made was priceless.
Everyone that crossed paths with you loved you, even though you played hard to get.
I love you Chester. I dedicate this review to you.
There is never enough time. Hug your loved ones.
??v? mom.
