Copperpot Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 They are all so different. Which is actually wonderful! Our older poodle is a little spitfire. Shes so smart its scary. The first day I met her she was twice the size of her sisters & I soon saw why. When they were fed, they all waited for her to eat first she is so highly active, shes a little twig, even in at her advanced age. Our little poodle boy Cosmo could not be more different. Hes very shy, almost stand offish. He will not be bothered with trying to please anyone. Even so, he is naturally well behaved and never causes much trouble. Except a little too much barking at times. I love that Finn, while being very layed back, is not as shy as Cosmo. He is very smart so far, picking up on things in record time! They are all so great in there own ways. We do still desperately miss Chesters crazy energy. I was just thinking yesterday about how he loved ice. Whenever I opened the freezer, he was right there waiting. He loved to chase it as it slid along the floor...I am working on a little chester video on my iphone. I am not sure that I will be able to share it because of the size. I may jave to youtube it and then add a link... Once I finally finish it. Its been tough to do, and watch. I used some music from Up, the pixar movie. Those of you familiar with that movie will probably remember that music a bit.. Anyways, I will share when I finish it.. For today, heres a Chester puppy pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copperpot Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Im not sure if this will work.. But I was able to finish my little movie. You guys have seen some of this stuff already, but it was nice to put it all together. This music has always made me tear up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 You have some wonderful shots of him in this. I love the ones where he's running/playing with other dogs, he looks like he's having so much fun! Thanks for sharing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enna Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Oh, my goodness, I love your video. The music choice is perfect. I keep watching it. Thank you for sharing this. It made me miss my Benji, but it also gave me comfort in knowing that there are others who love, love their family members who just happen to be animals.

MartyT Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 What a character this guy is! He could have been a movie star! And your video captured so much of his delightful personality!

LadyCarrie Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Carrie,I found your video of Chester on YouTube last night. We are all in love with that little boy of yours. I can hardly wait to share the video with Jerry and Amberly. Carrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copperpot Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Oh my, thanks for all the wonderful feedback :-) I actually cant believe I figured out how to use imovie. What a nifty little program that is. I would have loved to do this years ago for my poodle Cubby. I had to do the old school thing and make a scrapbook. I wish I had more video of Cubby as well. The wonders of iphones.. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copperpot Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Chester used to hang out with me everytime I worked out. Originally he relentlessly pursued licking the weights, a habit I finally broke him of around his 2nd year. I miss looking over and seeing him look at me with that guilty face as I would catch him.

Copperpot Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I was thinking today about how much Chester made me laugh. I saw a video of a husky puppy that sounded like he was talking. Chester talked. He made all sorts of noises. Wish I had some audio to share here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 My Arlie "talks" too. He has all kinds of different language for different things. He can get very animated. I don't have video of it either. Every time I get a camera out, it changes everything, so I quit trying. I don't think we'll ever forget though.

Marj37 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Seemed like a good topic to post this poem from Petloss.comSpeaks to me a kitty person also.To my beloved dog Patriot 11-23-85 - 5-29-95in celebration of her birthday. IWorld spinning out of grasp, out of reach, out of sight; you are gone.My heart, my head, my hands emptyas your spot in my lap.Sightless eyes searched for you.Soundless voice whispered your name.Deaf ears listened for your breath.In a wild place the pain roared,burned white, and then waned to an ember.Shadows of the night closed in. IINow a half-luminous ray breaks through.Memories quicken, dreams take color, and I know that love never dies.Liberated from your temporal shell:you are not gone.I see your eyes glittering like faithin every refraction of sunlight.I hear your bark echoing like promisein the baying of the wind.I sense your presence rippling like energyin all the sweep of hopeful sky.I feel your love constant and warming like dawnin its old comfortable place in my soul.And I know -- as I always knew -- That I gained much more than I lost.Anne L.

Copperpot Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Beautiful poem..Made me burst into tears. I am missing my Chester so deeply tonight. Just fantasizing that I would look down & see him laying at my feet, hearing him sigh ?I like the line..i gained much more than I lost. So true.

Copperpot Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Something I miss about Chester...his perfect curly tail! When he wagged his tail, it stayed curled and was more like a vibrating tail. We used to laugh about it all the time. This is kind of a dark photo, but its a good one of the tail :-)) Also, this photo was taken just a day before he got sick, so it is kind of special to me.

Critterdoll Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Not only Chester, but all you furbabies are adorable! Also, how are things progressing with Finn? Are you getting to know more of his personality yet?~ Mia ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copperpot Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sorry, ive taken a little break from the site. I guess I just felt like I needed it. Its been a really busy time too, took a vacation and Ive been making halloween costumes when im not working. I just made one of Zero for someone who is dressing up their hairless cat for a nightmare before christmas themed wedding on Halloween! :-) Mia, Finn is fitting in so well. He is a little sweetheart. Playful & curious.. Cute as a button. He has found his place in the pack & everyone is getting along. He can be rather goofy, just like a doodle should be. He loves water & will jump in my bath if im not watching! He loves ice cubes too, chasing them around. He can be a little fearful, but we are trying to show him as many new things as possible. He got his first haircut & looks like a new dog now. All of the sudden his coat is pretty dark red! We completely adore him.. And he is helping me with my optimism.. I was feeling pretty down after losing Chester so suddenly. I still miss him so much, but I can see brightness in our future with Daisy, Cosmo & Finn. It has been a weird week or two over here though. We had a disturbing incident with coyotes that killed a neighborhood cat right on the side of our house. Later I actually saw the rather large coyote standing up on our back block wall just staring right at me....One of the scariest moments of my life. So now I go out with every dog every time no matter what! Im sure I will never feel safe out there at night again..ugh..anyways, thought I would check in. Heres a couple pics of Finn.
