2015 Was The Year Shibas Proved They Were More Than A Meme

A crucial year in the shiba movement.

Look, I love Doge as much as the next person. She put shibas on the map. She should be respected.

But shibas are more than a meme and they certainly don't all TALK LIKE THIS.

This is why 2015 was a special year for shibas. A year that they proved they were more than a meme. The year they stood on the shoulder of a giant (Doge. The giant is Doge) and created an internet identity of their own. It was beautiful.

They finally got the chance to show everyone they don't all speak like Doge.

They continued to show off how hard they work.

And let everyone know it's okay to retire to spend more time with family.

They told some very scary stories.

And proved they were patient AF.

They showed how much they loved family.

One shiba let her human dress up as her.

This guy bravely swam where no dog had swam before.

Yeah, they got stuck in a lot of things this year...

...but that mostly just showed they could smile through any situation.

Look, shibas have always been great. The world just finally caught on. So, congrats on a stellar year, shibas!
