Wow! 18 yrs old


Kabosu, side-eyeing Shiba inu who inspired the ‘doge’ meme, dies at 18

Kabosu, the fluffy-faced Shiba inu whose skeptical glance became one of the enduring memes of the 2010s and inspired a cryptocurrency, has died, her owner said Friday.

Atsuko Sato wrote on her personal blog that the 18-year-old dog died peacefully early Friday in her home in Sakura, Japan, as Sato was petting her. “Kabo-chan,” as Sato affectionately called her, was “calm, kind and laid back.”

[…]

Kabosu was among a pack of 19 Shiba inus sent to a Japanese dog shelter after the shutdown of a puppy mill, according to Sato. Most of the puppies were killed, but Kabosu was rescued. Sato, a pet-loving kindergarten teacher, adopted Kabosu in 2008 and promptly began posting cute photos of her pets to her blog.

Another one because it made me a tad teary. Happy, sad, I don’t know. Maybe the music (which I usually dislike).


My baby has developed cataracts and slowly, steadily she runs into more furniture every day :(

She's also going deaf, so she's become the most special needs dog of all special needs dogs who have 4 legs.
