Chester

Chedda, Cheddy, Flubby, Wubby, Bubby, Wompy, Tompy. Womper, Tomper, Wompy-Tomp, Teedle-Tomp, Wompelio, Count Wompula. Cheechu, Chuchi, Cheedo, Cheddalungue, The Grand Chawhee. Doodles, Doodle Bug, Chub, Che-chub, Chu-Chu, The Big Cheese, Cheeseasaurus Rex.

He was a dog of many names, a reflection of the love he shared, but more importantly, of the goofiness that was Chester. And while it’s hard to say goodbye, it’s easy to remember the good times, and the little things that were so uniquely Chester.

  1. Beautiful. Sad. Joyous and mellow. You captured our boy so well. You even had Downward facing Chesterdog! I miss that the most. Mornings are the hardest without that to start my day. Chester was a GOOD dog. And as Sima told me when she was talking about how good my kids are…”good is best”.

  2. Your images perfectly capture the essence that is the one and only Chedda-pup — places he liked to be, how he moved, how he showed his affection, his proclivity to carry things in his mouth and his high energy mellowness. He was a dog of dogs!

    (add nickname “Chedda-pup” to list?)
