Valentine Shieff, Adopted 1/30/98 - 5/4/13

To our "once in a lifetime" sweet soul. Will miss your purrs and wonderful personality. You rocked! You were a lady even while "bulldozing" the boys off the bed! Thank you for 15 marvelous years of love and devotion. Hope you are young again and happy over the rainbow and will meet us at the Rainbow Bridge in time. See you then. We love you. Gail, Bud, LuckLuck, & Zorro

Vern, August 20, 1995 - February 22, 2013

Today was the day I was dreading. I had to put my beautiful baby boy, Vern down. After a 4 year battle with diabetes, this last setback, he just couldn't push threw it. I knew this day was coming and know matter how much you mentally prepare; I truly believe you are never ready for it.
I was so blessed to have Vern in my life. Every morning when I wake up Vern would be right there beside me. He loved to be held, He loved his "rubbies" and he loved to play.

Vern I just want to say I love you
I love you with all my heart and soul
And I'm going to miss you so much
I will miss you in the mornings especially
I'm going to miss you when you tell me its time for dinner
I'm going to miss you when you tell me it's time for rubbies
Your siblings are going to miss you as well
Buster-Cary-Myrna- Nicky and Norman

You will always be in my our hearts
You will never be forgotten
Rest in peace my baby boy, I know you are in a better place right now where your health is restored and you are not alone ( Frisky and Abbey will be with you )
And when it's my time to go and i meet up with you with Frisky and Abbey I will give you guys nothing but hugs and kisses
XO XO XO

Victor, 2001 - Feburuary 8, 2013

Baby Victor Montana Sherry was born in Corvallis Montana in 2001. His little head had a "V" on it with dark silver fur, thus the name Victor. He was named after a tiny little town in the foothills of the Bitterroot Mountains. Victor enjoyed the posh life of being a Silver Shaded Persian, and enjoyed being spoiled by his older brother, Gabe. During his working years, Victor spent hours tutoring students and greeting visitors. After retirement, Victor continued to be a door greeter for the Sherry's.

We joke about Victor being a "Celestial" cat because he knew no malice, he had no ulterior motives, he was never mean, he never fought, bit or scratched anyone. Victor was an example of peace and love in our home. Victor's only motivation was having his face rubbed by Mark and getting his treat when he heard the garage door open.

Victor has provided us with years of love and companionship. He was always happy, and always cheerful. Victor loved people more than anything. He enjoyed parties with many friends.

This morning, Victor suffered another stroke, right around 5 a.m. he spent the last hours of his awesome life being held and loved by his momma, and his Markie. One thing is for sure, that Cat knew he was loved. Our only hope is that he has enough kisses to last until we see him again.

Animals do something for our souls that we can not do for ourselves. They love us when we do not recognize love, the need us when we need to serve. They are constant reminders of our Heavenly Father's love for us; if we would only stop and enjoy it.

We love you Victor, we can't wait for the day that we will see you again. You will be sorely missed. Our hearts are broken. We cry not because you are gone, but because of what you took from us when you left.

Victor is survived by his brother Gabe Sherry and some humans who love him very much.

Rest well my darling. ♥ Your momma had to be very very brave today, I love you!

Vlasy Seis, 03/01/1997 - 04/29/2013

My precious Vlasy,

You waited so long to be alpha and you finally made it--1 year and 9 months ago. You were my sister's dog, and then my parents' dog, and then MY dog...and I am so grateful that you were. Although Flaumig (Hi, Flaumig!) was more of a protector, you needed protecting. Although Flaumig followed me around to keep me safe, I followed YOU around to keep YOU safe...and it was an interesting role reversal that allowed you to be my little baby...and I am so grateful for that. Thank you for snuggling up near my pillow, for snuggling with me the night that Flaumig died, and for letting me mother you. Thank you for liking to be brushed and for loving to eat! Thank you for being just the right size to carry around, and for hopping around when you would come in from outside. I look forward to seeing you again when I cross the Rainbow Bridge, too:)...both you and Flaumig and Fluffy IV will greet me, and it will be such a lovely welcome.

All my love to you,

Your person, Lindsey
