I just found out about this and my heart breaks for Cheri's family. I always like looking in the window as we passed on Main St. I found the perfect puppy for my neice and nephew there and my sister and brother in law bought the dog and Lucky had a wonderful long life with their family. Cheryl always ran a clean store and you could tell she loved all the puppies. RIP Cheryl.

So sorry for your loss. We have two 11 year old pups from Cheri´s Preferred Pups. Our mini doxies were litter mates. Cheri wouldn´t separate them because they were so bonded. I´m so grateful she knew that they needed to be together. They are inseparable. She was a kind pet shop owner who cared about her pups.

Cheri and I were friends from high school. Though we didn't live in the same area after our early 20s, we were the kind of friends who felt that we never missed a beat when we had a chance to get together. My heart is broken with her passing, but I know that she now rests in God's loving arms. Until we meet again, my friend.

I always loved going to the nursing home with Cheri. We took puppies for 11 years and the residents just couldn't wait for us to get there. Rest in peace my beloved friend.
