A Charming New Stay for Our Smeraglia Families
A few weeks ago, you may have seen me post a photo — a moment of me signing something special. The comments flooded in with curiosity: What is Sherri up to?
Today, I finally get to show you what I’ve been working on… and it is pure joy to share it.
Introducing Mon Sherri — my newest labor of love, and the sweetest little addition to the Smeraglia Gotcha Day experience.
The name itself is a playful twist on the French phrase Mon Chéri, which means “my darling.” The moment I saw this tiny white cottage, I knew that’s exactly what she was to me — my darling. So we named her Mon Sherri, and truly, she feels like a living expression of my heart.
Nestled only eight minutes from the farm in the quiet charm of Loxley, Alabama, this charming 1,095-square-foot cottage captured my heart the moment I stepped inside. I knew instantly it would be a place of peace, purpose, and southern hospitality — and now, I get to share it with you.

💗 A Cottage With a Soul
The first time I walked inside this sweet space, I knew it would become part of our story. What started as a vision for a peaceful place for our clients to stay has turned into something much more: a living expression of my heart.
Mon Sherri is now fully finished — complete with every pink detail, cozy touch, and thoughtful layer of hospitality. She’s ready and waiting for you.
The exterior is a dreamy welcome: Tickle Pink front and back doors, soft sage green shutters, and lush landscaping that’s beginning to bloom with flowers. Even the garden hose is pink, because of course it is!
Step inside, and you’ll find a space that feels like you’ve wandered into a romantic hideaway in the French countryside — filled with wallpaper covered in birds, bows, and blossoms, and every corner whispering, “You’re home.”

🏡 Inside Mon Sherri:
• A light-filled living room and kitchen perfect for coffee, connection, or cuddling with your new puppy
• Two charming bedrooms designed for peaceful rest and personal reflection
• A stylish one-bathroom layout with soft lighting and vintage details
• A tranquil screened-in porch for golden hour conversations or quiet morning devotions
• A custom-framed Samsung Frame TV for cozy movie nights
• Alexa surround sound to set the mood with music or worship
• And… an entire kitchen suite of pink retro appliances — from the coffee pot to the utensils to the refrigerator!
Everywhere you look, there’s something thoughtful, something meaningful — a personal touch from me to you.

🌸 More Than a Place to Stay
Mon Sherri is now officially available as a Gotcha Day Upgrade. For our clients who want to turn their puppy pickup into a full celebration — this is your moment. Instead of scrambling for a hotel 30 minutes away, you can stay just minutes from the farm in a place that wraps you in comfort, beauty, and love.
It’s also available for private training sessions — perfect for clients who want to add extra time with one of our trainers during their stay. Whether as part of a Gotcha Day upgrade or simply as an add-on to extend your pup’s training journey, Mon Sherri provides a calm, beautiful environment to support deeper connection and continued learning.
