Pet of the Week
I got Chester from the pound when he was 9 months old and had been abused by 2 different families by 9 months old. We had an instant connection and I also changed his name because he was so young and had been abused while he had his other name and I didn’t want him to remember bad things every time he heard that name. So he has been Sir Chester Carl since I got him. Or Precious Chester. And when we talk to each other we know what we’re saying to each other. Chester listens to me and I listen to him. He will now be 7 years old in July. My angel. Photo courtesy of Lynne Counter
