Fun Support

The veterinarian called around 5 pm one Sunday evening and says, “I’ve got a little guy here that needs help. First person I thought of is you.”

Rachell and her vet discuss the situation briefly. Chester arrives outside in Rachell’s driveway by 5:30 that same evening in a giant crate. Rachell rescues this tiny yorkie-chihuahua mix on the spot.

Rachell thinks she is saving him. Ultimately, truth told, he saves her. He becomes her sidekick, her listener, and most important, loads of fun too.

Chester’s favorite toy is a stuffed lamb. He figures out how to carry it even though he has no lower jaw. He closes his mouth on the soft animal and places the plaything in front of her when he is ready to play fetch.    

         

“This is so fun,” she shares with him as they play.

Rachell tosses the stuffed animal across the room for Chester to retrieve. Over and over and over again. She giggles as she watches him having the time of his life.

When Chester exhausts himself, he leans toward Rachell and pauses with his head on her upper arm as he conveys “I’m totally your FUN SUPPORT!”
