There's not a day that I don't miss my past Shibas. We truly are lucky to have them in our lives and are blessed for their companionship. We will miss you dear Shassi...

As a Shiba mom (Jeni, red & creme, age 6), I have been through the loss of Jeni's mate, Iceman, from a heart attack just before he turned three. I gieved for a LONG time before I remembered that he was sent as a gift, not to keep, but as a companion for a while on this earth. The Rainbow Bridge is real and we will all meet again someday. I know that 15 years seems too short. You will grieve, but realize that the grief is an example of the love you had together. We are so sorry for your loss.

When the Time comes If it should be that I grow frail and weak And pain should keep me from my sleep, Then will you do what must be done, For this -the last battle-can't be won. You will be sad I understand, But don't let grief then stay your hand, For on this day, more than the rest, Your love and friendship must stand the test. We have had so many happy years, You wouldn't want me to suffer so. When the time comes, please, let me go. Take me to where my needs they'll tend, Only, stay with me till the end And hold me firm and speak to me Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree It is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must be you Who has to decide this thing to do; We've been so close -we two-these years, Don't let your heart hold any tears. Author Unknown We lost our Shiba to cancer-this poem helped us heal.

When the Time comes

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -the last battle-can’t be won.

You will be sad I understand,
But don’t let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn’t want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.

Take me to where my needs they’ll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.

Don’t grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We’ve been so close -we two-these years,
Don’t let your heart hold any tears.

Thanks to you for sharing her with us. She will be missed by more people than you could ever know.

There are no words that can alleviate your pain or help you feel better about the loss of a friend of 15 years. Her memory lives on with all of us, as she inspired each of us to encourage our Shibas to live to her standard. The world will be grieving with you. As was stated earlier, take plenty of Kleenex.
