My Dearest Baby Sherri,

I will always remember, you walked in to our lives on March 23, 2008. And just a few days later, together with Juggie and Sasha, you were present to see us marry.

It didn’t take you long to become a part of our family. Having lazy Sunday naps with us on our bed. You taking the top left pillow, Sasha lying in between us and Juggie occupying the bottom of the bed.

You became one of our three precious musketeers!

You were around for many of our first. Starting with our wedding, my pregnancy and our first born. You were also our first batch of clients when Super Cuddles took flight. And not forgetting, you are our first PR (permanent resident). I really can’t imagine having accomplished what we’ve done without you by our side. We’ve come a loooong way together.

You were and always will be the DIVA in our family. I remember during my pregnancy, we had to send you to the groomer and he did the mistake of clipping all your fur! You were soooo angry with us when we took you home that you practically gave us HELL!!

Peeing and pooing everywhere for the next 3 months till your fur grew back again. And it happened especially during when we were about to call it a night, you’ll run under our bed and crap just in the center so that it would be hard for us to reach and clean up. Boy, were you NAUGHTY!! Hahaha.. (since that incident, we’ve sure learned our lesson… never ever give you a crew cut!)

Also, you were always the first in the kitchen when it came to mealtime, and the last to leave cuz you were always scavenging even though there was clearly nothing left behind.

Besides food, you LOVE drinking water. For a little Shih Tzu, you can sure drink! I guess that’s the secret to your youthful looks. We could see that your other love was Juggie. And he feels the same for you too.

Your passing has left a hole in my heart. I will always remember all these firsts with you and your cheekiness… sneaking up behind us after you’ve had a drink and splashing the remains of the water on us. We would scold you and you’ll just stroll along with a big smug on your face. Oh, and I’ll never forget those beautiful big eyes and smile.

Last but not least, your bravery. Despite your size, you never let anything or anyone dictate you. Even till the very end.

I love you, Sherri. Always have and always will.
Thank you for sharing your time on earth with us and leaving your prints in our hearts forever.

I don’t believe in goodbyes. So, I guess I’ll see you later, my baby Sherri.
