The last, but no least, member of my backyard family is Chester. He is a beautiful English Setter who I met when I married my husband. Chester is a bird (and fish) dog. He spends hours slowly sneaking up on the birds that drink from out pond and the squirrels that run along the fences into the trees and hop on our roof. When Chester sets, he is motionless. He could "sneak" up on a bird in about six hours. Chester goes crazy when I am doing my hen chores... he just wishes he could be in the hen house "playing" with the hens. Chester also loves to watch the fish. I don't think he has quite figured out what they do. They catch his attention at dusk when they are most active. When the fish are playing tag, Chester puts his nose so close to the top of the water I am almost certain he is going to fall in. He never does. Chester is a love bug. He hates loud noises and nuzzles me when I seem sad. He loves to run in the hills and his is very picky about food. I am thrilled that I have Chester in my life!
