Cheszter my adorable glutton American Cocker Spaniel

I miss my dog so much that i've decided to write all about him in this post.




How I got Cheszter? Well, it's fated that after so many years of unsuccessful dog rearing in my place, I got Cheszter; a pure breed and a show dog FOC. I do not know how but I somehow got to know this breeder who incidentally was in my MSN list eventhough we did not add each other.






Of coz I went through an interview to determine whether i was a suitable dog owner by the breeder. Things went on so smoothly that I was about to be given a pair of ACS (male and female) but because my place is not big, mom insists that I can only have one. So I have to decide whether the male or the female, I love the female coz she's so 'girl-girl' but PMS trouble would be another problem. So, I've decided to have the male one.


He came back with me to his new place on the 3/10/2006 with his mangled fur, smelly and sad puppy eyes. Oh, when we took him back, I let him sit on my lap with the windows opened as I know dogs love that but that stupid eediot has decided to shit on me coz he was too excited. Had to endure the shitty smell till I reach home.



Next day, I took him to the groomer to be shaven all of his old mangled fur. He came back looking so scrawny and malnourished. After that cleaning, he was christianed Cheszter and had everything new. Bro was so excited that he took dad to buy his bowl, his shampoo, his food etc.


Of course when i took him back, my dad was asleep but when he woke up and cheszter started barking as the dog thought there were strangers outside and when he rushed out, dad was giving me his most 'thunderous' look of death and keep telling me that keeping him is not a good choice as our neighbours will be giving us problems.




Day by day, my dog won my whole family over with his klutzy fatty bottom and his glutton tricks. Now I wouldn't consider him a dog but a family member now. Dad always pamper him by buying raw chicken wings back from Tesco so that Mom can cook the wings with rice for cheszter's dinner. Sometimes when I'm home, I caught mom giving him half boiled eggs for breakfast or even cornflakes or sandwich. Can you imagine how pampered my dog is now? Not to mention, he's fatter than before. He was about 11kgs when we took him back and now, he's a heavy 14kg dog which is a bit fat for his breed. He eats little for his meals, but the 'in-between' snacks my dad feed him is a lot. Best part is he knows how to 'beg' for his food, 'behave' for his food and become a maniac when he sees us lifting his blue bowl. Because he's such a glutton, teaching him tricks were a breeze. Lately, my bro n dad has been teaching him to 'bark' to get what he wants from them. It's not the threatening barking but the silly whining and barking just to get his favourite treat.





There was once, mom took some sausages out to cook for dinner to defrost. She left it on the kitchen counter and the next thing she knows, my dog has somewhat pulled the bag of sausages down and managed to eat all of them while my mom took a nap in her room. Mom was of coz furious but she still laughs about it.




Now i'm in Ulu land and Cheszter is back in Malaysia, I miss him so terribly with his silly antics and how he used to snuggle to sleep with me at night. I miss him so much till i dream of him and it was so realistic that I thought he was sleeping next to me. Can't wait to be back home and playing with him and letting him sleep next to me all cuddled up that you even have your own fur face heater. ^_^ *sniff* *sniff*
