I met my best friend almost 2 years ago. She was a birthday present from Adam. We were both missing our Golden Retrievers back home and wanted a companion in Annapolis. After some solid research we picked out what we thought would be the perfect dog, a Shiba Inu. A small Japanese dog that remains under 25 pounds. The perfect traveling companion for a Navy family.
I traveled down to Salisbury, NC to pick up my beautiful birthday present. The moment I set my eyes on her, I fell in love. She was so perfect and chose to ride the whole way back to Maryland in my lap.
Trying to introduce her into her new home was slightly difficult. Crate training was difficult as well. Well, difficult for me anyways. I could not bear to have her sleep alone and cry all night. So Tora started sleeping with me in the bed. She has slept with me every night since. And has been the perfect cuddle buddy. We share such a wonderful bond, she is almost like a daughter to me. I love her so much and she is so special to me. Every night when I lay my head down on my pillow, she curls up on the one next to me. In the middle of the night, she curls up and snuggles against my stomach. I know she will get me through the hard times of deployment. She is truly my best friend.
