Damn she is good! I like that she does other forms as well, like realism and pinup. That’s sick! thank you! :)

Oh he was!

His favourite thing was wearing bowties lol. He used to get super excited when I would dapper him up (so we could go visit family haha). He also had a white chest, which is very rare for Goldens to have, so the name just seemed extra fitting.

Before someone is like “why did you name your dog after an anime character wtf?”,

I named him after the sound Hashira for multiple reasons. This pup was the most patient, loving, and gentle boy you could ever meet. He was also the most courageous and brave little spunkball. He was 1 of 13 pups in his litter, and was given slim chance to live by his vet. She kept telling his breeder she didn’t expect him to live thru the first 48 hours. Yet, somehow beat the odds.

Tengen, also means “Heaven” in kanji. One of the 3 types of scripture in Japanese. In ways its hard to describe, I felt like he was sent from heaven, by a family member who had recently passed. He came into my life during one of my lowest points, and taught me many things. From what love and devotion truly means, to grief. He truly was, the greatest dog ❤️

Holy cow. Yeah now I’m really dreading the RTA tax. Thankfully my tabs wont be due till next Feb but wowza!

Oh jesus. Is it like a higher trim (IE plaid)?? That’s insane!

That RTA tax is what kicks you in the ass. Every metro area gets taxed it… Snohomish, King, and Pierce County. All to go to the damn lightrail.

RTA fees, for my 2018 Hyundai Sonata was $283. I’m terrified for how much it will be with my 2023 Subaru Crosstrek.

The Tab fee… is only like $30-35. I think(? I’ll check the email) when I registered in December it was $30 for them.

Edit: Not all of the RTA excise goes to Lightrail. A good majority of it (I think DMV said over 40%) goes towards the funding of the metro/lightrail. The rest goes to fund roads, public transport, etc).

No problem man! I hope you find the dog. You may be able to check out the Facebook group “Rehoming Pets WA state” or even “Tacoma Pet Rehoming”.

Theres a huge chance if you post his photo, someone will have seen it.

Hey. So besides calling local shelters, have you tried any of like the Tacoma groups?? Or surrounding Pierce County groups even by chance? I know here in Snohomish, we have a few called like the “Snohomies” or something dumb. Wouldn’t be shocked if there was a Tacomies one too lol.

But no. In all seriousness. Post him to some of the local FB groups. Even just a “lost/found dogs in Tacoma” group. You may be able to track him down quicker there!
