Not sure if this counts as "world news", but RIP Doge :(

Edit: Kabosu's owner had this to say on Instagram:

To all of you who loved Kabosu,

On the morning of the 24th of May, Kabosu crossed the rainbow bridge. Thank you all so much for your support over the years.

She went very peacefully without suffering, as if falling asleep while feeling the warmth of my hands petting her.

Thank you all so much for loving Kabosu all these years.

I am certain that Kabosu was the happiest dog in the world.

That makes me the happiest owner in the world.

I would like to express my deepest appreciation to everyone who has sent us much love to us.

RIP pup! Here’s my two knuckleheads, Riolu (black and tan with creeping tan) and Jango (red)

Is Riolu not a sesame?

Edit: here’s mine, Nibbler (black and tan) and Yoshi

Aww! They’re adorable! Love the names too!

No, Riolo isn’t a sesame. There are similar color schemes but I think the breeder was a shady backyard breeder. She was all black and tan and then the head got that tan/red color as she aged.
