We said HELLO to baby & GOODBYE to our sweet Chewie

Emaciated and only weighing in at 56 lbs. Shacking and petrified at the back of the cage. He melted my heart and I told Ryan he needed us. We brought him home and he swiftly gained weight and got to a healthy 105 lbs! The abuse he went through before making his way to Wayside Waifs never did taint his kind nature. His heart was gold through and through.

Fast forward 14 years, he really without a doubt was the BEST dog anyone could have asked for. We lost Chewie the week before Christmas and it's been so hard to not have him home with me everyday.

I keep remembering all the best things about him. The day we took him to the dog park and he got between a 100 lbs mean dog and a tiny little dog being attacked. He came to the rescue and I was astonished what an amazing kind hearted dog I had. Then, the week we had to put our cat, Butterscotch, down; I caught him in bed with her, touching paws. I know he had to sneak up there and do that all sneaky as my cat would have hated that. He was seriously such a wonderful guy. My heart aches for him on the daily. I am hoping that fades to remembering all the good times without the tears.

I love you, sweet boy. Miss you so much.
