My best friend- Chereeyah

Chereeyah (or Čerija in her country), the English Cocker Spaniel, found us 16 years ago and since that very day she became my best friend, my biggest joy and love. All my memories include her, because she was always with me and the rest of our family.

She was the sweetest dog in the world, always welcomed us home, always was friendly with everyone and never stopped showing her love.

She passed away last week and I can't stop crying, because it feels like part of me has died. Right now she is resting in peace in our garden, in the place where she can always see who is home, who is walking down the street, who is parking the car in the garage... She will always be at home with us.

I miss her so much, I miss her snoring, I miss her running to the kitchen every time someone opened the fridge door, I miss her love, I miss her presence, I miss her smell, I miss her barking when I come back home, I miss her support, her big brown eyes, I miss the way she always tried to eat our cat's food too. I miss my best friend...

Chereeyah, I love you, darling! And I know that right now you are in Heaven and you are eating every single food there. I want to thank you for finding us all those years ago and for making our lives so happy. We feel so blessed that we had you as our family member. You were, are and always will be my best friend. And I can't wait to meet you again.

Es mīlu Tevi.
