My friends came to pick up Buster to the summer cottage at noon, yesterday.

In the afternoon, when I took Onni (Emma's dog) out, it started to rain really hard. It was so nice to walk in the rain, soaking wet :D

In the evening I went to Hanna's place to get Silla and Tiikeri. That's when Emma called...

"Buster is doing just fine, but Chester is on it's way to the vet."

He had been swimming and suddenly just sat on the beach doing nothing. His owner took him inside to rest but he wouldn't sleep so she took him out again. Then he could no longer stand up and they called the vet.

After an hour or so came the next call:

"Chester is dead."

His heart had stopped when they reached the vet station. So unfair. He was 5 years old, healthy, happy, energetic and loved everyone. Maybe it was the heath, maybe there was something wrong with his heart, maybe it was too much swimming or something else and everything together. The good thing is that he got to go quickly and doing the thing he loved the most, swimming.
