Hi Guys,

To hopefully end a very sad year for us, we have had to have Chester PTS.
He had lost weight rapidly and was showing signs of respiratory distress
along with rear end paralysis.  All in all not a very happy chappy at all
really.  He looked tired and fed up so I thought he would enjoy Christmas
better with his brother and all the others who have gone before.  My quiet,
gentle cuddle bun who was always cool, calm and collected whenever bath time
came around.  He would just head for the shallow end and sit on his butt and
wash himself..:))  Always the perfect gentleman.  He leaves us sad but we
know he is a happy wee guy now.  Chester was 28 months old.

We have only Pinto who is the same age and Patrick who is 21 months old.  He
seems to be still like a kid whereas Pinto is quite happy to lead a quiet
life now.

Our family wishes everyone here a very Merry Christmas and all the best for
the new year.

Kind regards and Blessings
Kate, Pinto and Patrick(star)
