Chester passed yesterday, September 20, 2016, he was 16 years 7 months old. My heart is breaking. He was not in any pain and had been deteriorating for some time. It's hard to imagine living without him after so many years of happy days and special Chester licks and kisses.
He fell down our stairs last Monday in the middle of the night. Chester was blind with cateracts, had lost all of his teeth and had demintia. His body had gotten so frail the fall broke his jaw. He tried to eat and drink for a few days but after this weekend he started telling me it was time.
He went to the emergency vet on Saturday and his vitals were good. He really went down hill on Sunday and could hardly walk. This is when he no longer wanted to eat.
