By March 2014 he was AKC champion. Chester's huge personality made up for his small stature and unfortunately he was labeled a problem child along the way and dubbed &quot;Chester of Naughtingham&quot;. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, his sister Sparkle lived with an elderly retired AKC judge. When an illness warranted rehoming we reached out to her breeder and she became part of our family in 2021, at 8 years of age.<br /> Almost exactly 1 year later, Chester's behavioral issues had escalated and his breeder reached out to us for advice ...and he was rehomed into our family!<br /> <br /> This misunderstood boy was finally where he was meant to be. Sassy Sparkle kept him in check and after a period of adjustment his sweet disposition and true colors shined! <br /> * He loved his groomer Lori and went on to win a grooming competition at 9 years of age in Las Vegas.<br /> * He was Uncle Chester to his nephews Oliver and Winston and participated in monthly playdates.<br /> * Chester was a huge fan of kibbles, carrots and broccoli, adored his sister and went for daily walks on the beach. <br /> * Car rides and the wind in his face was the best fun! He and Sparkle even had their own doggy car complete with booster seats and seat belts.<br /> * Chester was a talker and we never had to wonder where the UPS, Amazon or trash truck was - he would make that announcement. He was our protector.<br /> * When Tom died two years ago, Chester helped me handle the ever-present grief in my life. He and his sister basically saved me.<br /> * He was deeply loved, and he was so committed to me - he always watched every move I made, he was my constant shadow.<br /> <br /> After a week of concerning symptoms, yesterday Chester was diagnosed with malignant lymphoma. He had a good day - home from the vet, feeling good and in excellent spirits. We took a long long walk and he and Sparkle ate all of their favorite treats. Tender snuggles and tears filled the afternoon. And then we made the most difficult decision that any pet guardian has to make and sent little Chessy over the bridge.<br /> <br /> I know that you are watching me little boy. <br /> You were the BEST boy. <br /> Until we are altogether again I will hold you gently within my heart, forever grateful to have been so blessed.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ian_simpson/">Ian R.
