We lost our sweet little Chesney this weekend. We had taken her to Cedar City on our way to Brianhead. She was doing great and then we are not sure what happened. She started really struggling to breathe...more than usual. We called the vet and the only place that would see her was in St. George. By then, she was turning blue. Travis rushed her down while I stayed with the kids. They made it and at the animal hospital they got her stabilized and looking better. Then, in the night, she got cyanotic again and went into cardiac arrest. They tried to resuscitate her, but it didn't work. They think she may have been in anaphylactic shock..possibly an insect bite. I don't know. They were just guessing.
It has been pretty sad. She was only 3. We had a lot of fun with her. She was a great dog. She loved the kids. When they are gone, you sure wish you had spent more time with them. I gave her a good belly rub that night before she got sick. She loved a belly rub. The kids were all so heartbroken when we buried her. They will miss her. Marli keeps asking where she is, and saying let's go get her. Poor girl :(
We will miss you Ches! LOVE YOU!!!!
She loved the cabin! She would just run all over. 
This was the day we picked her up at the airport. She had flown in from Oklahoma as a surprise birthday present for me. She was the cutest puppy ever!

Chel - I am so sorry about Chesney - it made me cry. Dogs are just such wonderful creatures and I know how hard it is to lose them. My love to you all.
