Shiseido is in the Valentine stroll

It feels so strange without Shiseido. It has been 3 weeks since my favorite girl went to the rainbow bridge. This Valentine's day will be hard without her. But I know that she is watching us from above. I got Shiseido into the Valenetine's stroll. Even though she is not here. It would not be right if I left her out of the Valentine's day picture party.

Love,
Shisedio human mommy

My tribute to Shiseido who passed away a week ago on Monday- January 10th, 205

This is Shiseido mommy again. Can't believe it has been a week since Shiseido crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday January 10th, 2005. I wrote a tribute to her last week.

Here it is called my Shiseido.

Shiseido was my heart and soul dog . She came into my life totally un expectantly. I saw her picture posted at my local petsmart. I asked about her and they said she was still at the shelter. So I went to see her on Monday. Since that was on a Saturday and they were closed. But the moment I saw we clicked. It was like we were meant to be.

Ok, getting teary eyed again.

I brought her home for the first time on that July summer day in 2001. It was like she was meant for Trajan as well, because those two clicked as well. Shiseido and I bonded on that first day it was weird. It was like she and I knew each other for a long time. Even though we knew each other for a few hours. She was so smart and so very beautiful. I was so proud of her, on Feb of 2002 I took her to CGC's classes and went through the 8 week course like a pro and passed her CGC test with flying colors. Than I wanted her to be a therapy dog. Because she had the personality to be a good therapy type. So thankfully my club had a member/instructor that had therapy dogs and became a cerfited therapy dog tester. In August 2003 Shiseido became a therapy dog. She loved her work and she loved seeing the people, and the people loved I seeing her.

When she died the other night, a part of me died. I lost my heart and soul dog. My team dog, and people that knew us really well. Always said that we were a team and she was my heart and soul dog. I believe it, Shiseido and I worked as a team. She knew me and I knew her. She would do anything for me. I have asked why was she taken away from me, I have asked that many times. Tuesday when it hit me, I was just crying why why why. Why did she have to be taken away from me. But knowing life, you don't know why things happened. But how she came into my life was totally un expected.

Call me strange, but last night Indiana is having an unusual weather it felt like spring and we had spring storms. Like tonight spring like storms in the winter.

But anyway, I went outside on the pouch, and watched it storm. It was like I could feel her again. I could feel her soft hair. The way that she felt and the way that she smelled. She always smelled great. lol. Because she gotten her monthly baths like two weeks ago.


But am I going to miss her akita kisses and she always gave me akita kisses every day and night. She always was waiting for me to get home and very excited. I told Shiseido to lead me to a new dog or a puppy and lead me for it to be another therapy dog. Because I am going to keep Shiseido dream alive. I will continue to do therapy work and I want a dog to be a good therapy dog. I have several breed choices.

An akita mix or an akita is way to soon for me. I know I said I would like to get another one. Before all this happened. But its just way to soon.

Its hard for me to look at pictures. I can't go on dogster to or catster to look at my pets photo's. Because I will see Shiseido pictures. I know Shiseido is probably thinking. Mommy its ok, you can look. Because she was the type of dog that didn't want me sad for a long time. She would always cheer me up with akita kisses or just cheer me up. She is probably thinking right now, crying again. Is mommy there is no need to cry for me anymore. I have made my journey. I am going to miss that dog so much. There won't be a passing day that I won't forget about her. She brought me out of my shell. I am sorta a quiet person and she brought me out of the shell to open up to people more. Like therapy work and etc.

All, Monday night I was so numb. I didn't;t even sleep. Trajan that never ever got up on the new bed. Finally got on the bed that night and ever since than he was laying so close to me. He misses her to and I can see it. He still eats. But you can tell that he misses her.

Just wanted to share this story to everyone. I needed to express my feelings about her to everyone on here. Because everyone loves dogs and had a dog that passed away and we know what everyone is going through when they lose one.

I love you Shiseido and yes you were such a bossy girl ;) Love you I will meet you again someday

This is Shiseido mommy

Some sad news, my beloved Shiseido passed away on Monday January 10, 2005. She was a wonderful dog and a wondeful friend. I could not have asked for a better dog. She was my heart and soul dog. She would have done anything for me. She made a wonderful therapy dog. She is missed so much and will be missed as long as I live.

R.I.P. Shiseido.

Shiseido's Diary for Wednseday Janaury 5th, 2005

Barks

Hopefully every doggie will have a nice day today. We are writing into today diary early just in case the power goes off because of the ice. The ice just started a little while ago. It will continue, throughout today and some tonight. We are hoping we won't lose power and the ice won't get bad. Hopefully everyone else's weather is treating you right. Wish spring was here, it won't be so bad if it was just snow. But ice is very bad stuff, that it can build on power lines and snap the power lines. So we are prepared we got flashlights and bottled water just in case. Hopefully it won't come to that. But just in case. More tomorrow hopefully if we still have power.


Wags,

Hello every doggie, hopefully everyone Tuesday been well for you. It has been going well here. Hopefully the weather is treating you right the weather is not going to treat us right. We are under an ice storm warning from late tonight and until all day tomorrow. It does not look pretty, for us. Hopefully this ice strom will miss us, and won't make a mess and we won't lose power. So we are still holding out for hope for that to be true. But right now, it looks like the ice is coming for us. :(. But there is still hope. Well, more tomorrow hopefully we can write in tomorrow diary if we still have power. Hopefully, I will write that the storm did not come to us.

Shiseido's Diary for Monday January 3rd, 2005

Barks

Hopefully every doggie had a great Monday. We did, considering it rained all day and flood watches and warnings were out. Its going to continue to rain until Wednesday. Than we will be under a winter storm watch, because it will change over to freezing rain on Wednesday so a mix bag of everything. We will be going from unusual spring like temps, to back to winter with freezing rain. We don't like freezing rain, because its ice and if the ice builds up on the power lines than we lose power. But we will take snow over ice anyday. Hopefully the weather will change from now to than, and we will get all rain or snow and not the ice. More tomorrow.

Shiseido's Diary for Sunday January 2nd, 2005

Barks

Hopefully everyone had a nice Sunday. I know that we did. We are getting a huge break from winter over the past few days and today as well. Its very unsual the temps are in the mid 50's to lower 60's and rain. So its a nice break from winter and the snow. It should last for a few more days.

Well mommy's new bed is up and its a very nice bed. She went today and got a bed in a bag that has a bedspread, two pillow cases, two shams, sheets, and a bed skirt she got it on sale at a store. She had to get new. Because her waterbed sheets, and bed spread wouldn't fit. Its a very nice bed and very comfy. More tomorrow.

Shiseido's Diary for Saturday January 1st, 2005

Barks

Well its me again writing my second entry for today in my diary. Hopefully every doggie is having a great New Years, hopefully everyone had a great time ringing in the year 2005 at midnight in the wee hours of the morning this morning. I know that we did, had a great time ringing in the New Year. Well, mommy took all the holiday decorations down this morning and all the holiday lights and put them up for another year. We sure will miss it, but can't wait until next year until they come back down. She took all the decorations down from the tree and put them up. Can't believe the holiday season is almost over. It sure does go fast.

Well, a few days ago I wrote in the diary saying my mommy 12 year old water bed broke. Well today she is getting a brand new bed. Its not here yet, but it will be coming up in the next couple of hours. She is so excited. She is going to let someone help her take the water bed frame down. She can't wait to get it down, and get the new bed up. She also is getting a pillow top mattress she loves those. I can't wait to see it and lay on it either. More tomorrow. Enjoy your rest of your new years day.

BTW, thank you Dogster for making my diary as one of your diary picks for the day. :)
