Sherri Shepherd said her beloved very, very sick dog Lexi will soon go to Heaven
“Lexi, you’ve been amazing, and we’re going to miss you a lot, so thank you,” the talk show host said.
Sherri Shepherd is saying goodbye to her beloved Cane Corso, Lexi.
On the Thursday, Nov. 21 edition of Sherri, the talk show host, 57, announced that her canine’s health has slowly worsened and the dog will soon “go to heaven.”
“If you know me or you have followed me, you’ve all heard me talk about my beloved Cane Corso. She’s an Italian Mastiff, Lexi.
And I just found out that she’s very, very sick, and the vet told us that it’s time for Lexi to go to heaven this week, so Jeffrey [her 19-year-old son] and I are coping,” she said.
“Jeffrey, he’s like on the spectrum, but it’s more like Asperger’s [syndrome], so he doesn’t show his emotion, and I told him about Lexi, and he said, ‘Mom, I’m crying on the inside,’ ” continued Shepherd.
The television personality shared that Lexi has been a part of her life for 12 years and came into her son’s life when he was five.
“I know that I gave Lexi a good life, but I’m so thankful for the 12 years of being protected that she’s been in my life,
and I’m so comforted, but I’m happy because she truly exemplified the fact that dog spelled backward is God,” she continued.
