Chatham was a very special dog who lived a very enriched life. He loved to go for hikes and swim, despite Jack Russell’s commonly not enjoying swimming. He loved his ball more than anything and in his prime could outrun any dog or child bold enough to challenge him in a race. He loved to snuggle and always managed to take up the most space in any bed, even a king size.
Chatham was a terrier by nature and if he ever caught the scent of a rodent in the yard he would get himself into various precarious situations trying to catch them, getting himself stuck on numerous occasions. He hated shovels and would try to take down his mortal enemy and protect his family from that evil shovel!
Chatham was one of the most expressive dogs you’d ever meet. His emotions were always evident and visible and although he never barked, he would vocalize his opinions strongly with a quick yip or whine.
He was well loved by everyone who met him and would leave gifts of white fur knitted into the clothing of anyone who met him.
Words cannot properly encapsulate how special this little boy was, but it is still worth the effort to try. He will missed deeply by many and his memory will live on through countless photos, videos and wonderful memories.
