This is Kabosu. She's the shiba inu whose face became the internationally recognized Doge meme after a photoshoot went viral in 2010. Kabosu passed peacefully today, May 24, at 18, after a long battle with liver disease and leukemia.
Kabosu (which means Pumpkin in Japanese, so named for her round face), was rescued from a puppy mill shutdown and adopted from a shelter in 2008. She lived in Sakura, Japan, with her humans and three feline siblings. Her mom, a kindergarten teacher, first posted the picture of Kabosu with the wide eyes and daintily crossed paws in February 2010. The pup's pic made the rounds on Reddit and Tumblr, before the meme-ified version with colorful "Doge speak" captions began taking over. (such fame, wow.) Kabosu eventually became the face of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin in 2013, which, while created as a joke, reached an $88.8 billion market cap at its peak in May 2021. On Nov. 2, 2023, meme legends celebrated the inaugural Doge Day and unveiled a statue commemorating her. Many in the Doge movement use DOGE as an acronym for "Do Only Good Everyday."
"I think Kabo-chan was the happiest dog in the world," her human wrote in a farewell post on the blog she maintained for Kabosu and her adventures. "And I was the happiest owner." A celebration of her life will be held Sunday, May 26, from 1-4pm at Flower Kaori in Kotsu no Mori, in Narita City.
For her lasting legacy on internet culture, the legend Kabosu receives our highest honor, a 15/10
I feed 80 street dogs every day but the last stop is my favorite because I get to see little Angelina Jolie.

"There is a Japanese legend who talks about a method to find cats that have left the house and never come back.
The technique is to talk to the street cats in the neighborhood as if you would talk to anyone and ask them about your cat, describe it and it is, their hair tone, even tell th what it's called, ask them to help you find it, tell him how much you love him and how much you want him to come home.
They will communicate with each other to help your cat return home"

You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction.
I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.
