Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WINSTON--***CONTACT ELLEN doubledogellen@att.net WINSTON--"OUR TRUE COMPANION--LOVING--SMART-- BEYOND GORGEOUS" WINSTON'S STORY***WE RECEIVED AN URGENT CALL FROM A SHELTER VOLUNTEER LETTING US KNOW THAT WINSTON'S OWNER HAD JUST SURRENDERED HIM TO A HIGH KILL SHELTER, WHEN DO TO A TERMINAL MEDICAL CONDITION SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE. THE WOMAN WAS DEVASTATED HAVING TO GIVE WINSTON UP FOR SHE DESCRIBED HIM AS HER "BEST FRIEND". WINSTON HAD BEEN A PART OF HER LIFE SINCE HE WAS A 6 WEEK OLD, BOUNCY, WIGGLY PUP. "PLEASE FIND HIM A GREAT HOME WHERE HE WILL BE LOVED AS MICH AS I LOVE HIM , HE IS A WONDERFUL DOG AND I LOVE HIM DEARLY" SHE TOLD US. OUR REPLY WE WILL". WINSTON IS A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, GENTLE AND MELLOW, 5 YEAR OLD, 80 POUND, AKC REGISTERED, PUREBRED CHESAPEAKE BAY RETRIEVER. THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NOTICE WHEN YOU SEE WINSTON IS WHAT A GORGEOUS GUY HE IS. HIS COAT IS SO SOFT, HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE TRADEMARK "CHESSIE WAVES" ACROSS HIS BACK, YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB THIS PUP ALL DAY AND AS MUCH AS WINSTON LOVES ATTENTION THIS IS JUST FINE WITH HIM. HIS COAT IS A WARM, RICH, DEEP, FUDGE BROWNIE COLOR. HIS EYES ARE THAT GORGEOUS TRADEMARK "CHESSIE" GOLD AND SEEM TO SPARKLE LIKE A MILLION STARS WHEN HE SEES YOU. THE MINUTE YOU MEET WINSTON GET READY TO HAVE YOUR HEART STOLEN BECAUSE WITHIN MINUTES YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS LOVING, COMPANION PUP. HE IS A PUP, TRUE TO THE CHESAPEAKE BREED, WHO BONDS STRONGLY WITH HIS OWNER, DEVOTED AND LOVING. HE WILL COME AND SIT AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET AND REST THAT BEAUTIFUL HEAD IN YOUR LAP, GIVING YOU AS MANY KISSES AS YOU WILL ALLOW, LOOK AT YOU WITH THOSE EYES AND IF HE COULD SPEAK YOU WOULD SWEAR HE WAS SAYING "LOVE ME". HE WILL CLOSE HIS EYES WITH SWEET SATISFACTION KNOWING HE IS SAFE AND LOVED. HIS TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM BEING WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HIM---YOU!!! WINSTON HAS THE BEAUTIFUL LOYAL HEART OF THE CHESSIE MAKING THIS ONE OF HIS MOST ENDURING QUALITIES. NOW LET'S ADD A BIT OF "CHESSIE" SMART, BOY THIS GUY IS SMART!!!! WINSTON IS A HIGHLY INTELLIGENT GUY, HAS COMPLETED TRAINING CLASSES, KNOWING THE COMMANDS "SIT"-"COME"- "LAY DOWN". HE POSSESSES THE ABILITY TO ABSORB AND RETAIN TRAINING. HE ALSO NEEDS TO FIND MEANING TO THE COMMANDS GIVEN HIM, THIS PUP WANTS TO LEARN. HE WOULD THRIVE WITH AN OWNER WILLING TO SPEND TIME TO TEACH, BUT MOST OF ALL SHOWER WINSTON WITH LOVE AND THEN THIS "GOOD" PUP BECOMES A "GREAT" DOG. WINSTON IS ALSO A VERY SOCIAL FELLOW AND DELIGHTS IN EVERYONE HE MEETS, CHILDREN TO SENIORS. HE IS THE "ULTIMATE COMPANION". HE ALSO ENJOYS THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS(SEE PHOTO) AND WOULD DELIGHT IN HAVING A PLAYMATE(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS). HIS BEST BUDDY NEEDS TO BE ONE THAT LOVES TO GO AND LOVES LIFE AS MUCH AS WINSTON DOES. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH WINSTON JUST TAKE HIM ALONG. IF YOUR MORNING STARTED WITH A BRISK WALK OR JOG WINSTON WOULD BEAT YOU TO THE DOOR, EYES SPARKING, TAIL WAGGING READY TO GO. WINSTON IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND WILL MATCH YOU STEP FOR STEP. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS BOY IS WINSTON READY. SHOW WINSTON THE STEEPEST HILL AROUND AND WATCH THIS PUP GO. HE WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING, FROLICKING IN THE BIGGEST FLUFFY SNOW BANK HE COULD FIND. HAVING THE "CHESSIE" COAT THAT IS IMPERVIOUS TO COLD THE OUTDOORS AND A SNOWY DAY ARE WINSTON'S CUP OF TEA. IF YOU ARE HOPING TO BRING INTO YOU LIFE A DOG WHO, TRUE TO THE CHESSIE BREED, IS ONE THAT IS LOYAL, LOVING, DEVOTED, HAPPY, PLAYFUL AND LOVES LIFE AND THEN ADD CHESSIE SMART, ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT EVERYDAY AND ONE "DROP DEAD GORGEOUS" GUY. THEN LOOK NO FURTHER WINSTON IS YOUR PUP!!! WE FEEL THAT THE PERFECT HOME FOR WINSTON WOULD BE WITH A COUPLE, SINGLE GUY OR GIRL OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER CHILDREN. AN OWNER WHO IS WANTING A DEVOTED, LOVING, CARING COMPANION. WINSTON IS A DOG THAT LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING. WINSTON IS A PUP THAT ASK FOR LITTLE AND GIVES BACK A MILLION EVERYDAY HE IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE. HIS ONLY TRUE WISH IS "TO BELONG" TO BE A PART OF A FAMILY AGAIN. THIS IS THE ONLY LIFE HE HAS EVER KNOWS, THE LIFE HE DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. WINSTON JUST WANTS TO KNOW THAT AT THE END OF A DAY FILLED WITH WALKS, PLAY, A DIP IN A NEAR BY LAKE OR OCEAN, OR QUIET TIME WITH HIS OWNER THAT WHEN HE CURLS UP ON HIS BIG FLUFFY BED AT NIGHT AS CLOSE TO YOUR BED AS HE CAN BE, AND CLOSES THOSE GOLDEN CHESSIE EYES THAT THE LAST THING HE WILL HEAR IS HIS OWNER SAY "WINSTON I LOVE YOU" AND WINSTON WILL LIFT THAT GORGEOUS HEAD, WAG HIS TAIL, BLINK THOSE EYES AND WE BET THIS IS HIS WAY OF SAYING "I LOVE YOU TOO" AND THIS LOVING, LOYAL, COMPANION PUP WILL DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP HAPPY AND CONTENT HIS WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED HE HAS HIS HOME AGAIN AND IS LOVED!!!!
