Neverland Puppy Status – Chester

Hi Peter.

Chester is the joy of our life. He is happy, friendly with other dogs and people, silly and a brute for his age. He weighs almost 80 lbs but is very athletic, fearless and fit. He is an inveterate swimmer at our lake place in Pennsylvania and a diver. He leaps off our dock after a ball or toy and my son Brett is jokingly offering to train him for those distance water jumping events. He as you know is now closing in on 10 months and was neutered at 8 mos. He watches TV at times if there is a dog, a horse or a ball of any type involved, which to us is very funny. He is pretty much always by our side although unlike our previous guy Rufus he is more independent and likes to explore. He is a great watchdog also, pretending to be fierce when in reality he is a baby. He is in great health, has all his shots, eats adult food now which we have gotten from a very learned woman about feeds: Pronature Holistic (Canadian company). We have two neighbors who walk him – one we call the dog whisperer because he often takes 4 at a time and they all listen to him like he was God. Our daily walker is another neighbor who used to do twice daily but now only once. We are giving him a little gradual autonomy from his crate when we are out, but he loves his crate. In short we love him and he has a wonderful home. We are bad with pictures but will take some and send them along. All or Best Rus and Nancy Sykes
