Chiyo Flores

Chiyo was so full of the energy huskies are known for. She made her mark by flattening our grass, running sharp corners around (and sometimes into the house). She was a talkative husky who howled at sirens and ice cream trucks. And even encouraged our neighbors’ dogs to howl. Chiyo was very friendly, curious, and adventurous wherever she went. She was also unique in her choice behaviors and food tastes. She loved to eat sunny side up eggs and weenies. She liked to bury some of her food and save it for later, just like in the cartoons.

As time went on, she became less energetic but would still enjoy herself whenever she could. She loved colder weather and hated thunderstorms. She was good at letting me know when she was ready to come inside or go back outside. On May 20, 2024, she let me know it was her time to go and cross the Rainbow Bridge. I thank her for being my friend. I thank her for her loyalty. I thank her for the love and the lasting bond we managed to have for the 16 years we shared on this earth.

Chiyo was truly a “thousand generations”. She carried the spirit of the wolf. Born a dog…died a lady. I’ll miss you, til we meet again.
