Subscribe to PostsShortly after the turn of the millennium a quiet, very small, black terrier came to the Healy house in Munich on vacation. When her owner returned a month later, Cherry refused to leave. She quickly became a leader in our home, stopped being silent, and travelled across Europe with us regularly. In her free time she volunteered at Innere Mission Home for Girls as a lay therapist. She facilitated some very tough cases with her partner Gaby.
In her private life, Cherry was a bit of a style queen and known to be a diva. This side of her was most noticeable when she stayed at hotels and went to restaurants. Despite this, she was usually very polite and friendly. She counts as the only dog among Gaby’s five “Prinzessinen”.
Cherry turned 17 y.o. on January 1st, 2012. Soon after, her health began to decline consistently. Pacquito, Gaby and Joe have spent the long goodbye with her these past weeks. Cherry has had 24/7 care and companionship. She has left us peacefully today. She sends her fond goodbyes to all her friends and family. We will all miss her.
