Pepe and Mama

My name is Sachi. I live in Hawaii but I am originally from Tokyo, Japan. 

I became a dog mom by accident. His name was Pepe. He was apple head smooth coat chihuahua. He was the most mellow, laid-back, nicest, cutest, most well-behaved dog that you would ever meet in your life. 

 

He came into my life when he was 5 1/2 years old and he recently passed away on January 12th, 2016. He was 13 yrs old at the time of his death.  Everyday I spent with him was a blessing. But to me, it wasn't enough. I miss him like crazy. 

 

I have been through a lot in my life but this is one of the toughest thing to deal as I loved him so much. He still lives in my heart but coping with this big emptiness is tough. So my boyfriend suggested that I should write a blog to help sort through my feelings and as a healing process. I thought that was a great idea, and here I am. 

 

Anyone who had a dog, knows that they are not just pets but that they are family. Pepe was everything to me. And especially after my divorce, he was everything I had when I thought I lost everything else, like work, friends, trust, identity, etc. He was literally the only thing I had in my posession that still made me happy.

 

He licked my tears and was always there for me. He was my cheerleader and instant happiness for me. 

 

I will be reminiscing a lot about him on this blog. Both before and after he's gone. This way I get to keep his memory and it will never fade. And maybe someday, somebody who happens to read this blog who is going through the same thing I am going through (major pet loss), will get a sense of healing and comfort from reading these posts.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog. 

 

Aloha,
