Due to the FACT my Mother had a MASSIVE Heart attack at the age of 84 years old ,&I am her ONLY caretaker, things regrettably have changed for Me in a Big way in my life! I had big plans for Blossom. But now my priorities are My Mother. She is very LOYAL & LOVING. If you are into Chesapeakes & looking for a good one Look at this ONE!
