Thanks guys. Even a year later, I still get teary-eyed when I think about him. Chester came to me purely by the grace of God. He actually belonged to some people two streets over from where I used to live. I found him laying in the middle of the street one morning and he was in such bad shape it even made the vet mad. He was infected from head to toe; eyes, ears, skin, teeth. For lack of a better word, I stole him. They had another yorkie that ended up getting run over because they just let them run the streets. Had I known, I would have taken it too. It took me two years and $2500.00 to get him back to health. It was worth every penny and I would have paid more if needed. The vet guessed him to between 10-12 when I got him. We had five wonderful years together. He was completely deaf and mostly blind at the end but he still loved to be cuddled and slept right next to me under the covers. I had another rescue, Rosebud who lived to be 18. I love getting them in their old age and spoiling them rotten and always keep an eye out. Thanks again.
