In a somber announcement that has reverberated through online communities, Cheems, the Shiba Inu dog who shot to fame as a viral meme sensation, has passed away at the age of 12. The news of his demise was conveyed by his owners in a poignant Instagram post that has left many internet users mourning the loss of the endearing pup.
Cheems, known by the alternative name "Balltze," succumbed to cancer after a valiant struggle. The dog's owners shared that during his final thoracentesis surgery, Cheems fell asleep peacefully and did not awaken. Although initial plans had been made for further medical intervention, fate intervened, rendering it too late to proceed.
The rise of Cheems to internet stardom can be traced back to 2017 when his pictures began circulating widely across various platforms. Internet denizens swiftly recognized the uncanny resemblance between Cheems and cheese, and the name "Cheems" was born. The iconic "Swole Doge vs. Cheems" meme is perhaps his most recognizable appearance. Cheems had been residing in Hong Kong under the care of his owner, Kathy, who consistently showcased his photogenic allure.
Kathy's heartfelt Instagram post implores readers not to dwell in sorrow, but rather to cherish the joy that Balltze brought into the world. She remembers Cheems as a Shiba Inu with a perpetually beaming face that forged connections between individuals. Throughout the pandemic, the dog provided solace and happiness to many, leaving an indelible mark. Kathy's post evokes a vision of Cheems running freely among the celestial heavens, accompanied by new friends and indulging in delectable feasts.
The news of Cheems' passing has triggered an outpouring of grief from internet users who had grown attached to his charismatic presence. Social media platforms have been inundated with expressions of sorrow, accompanied by users' favorite images and memes of the dog. Admirers have bestowed upon him titles such as a "legend" and a "meme founder," and many have expressed gratitude for the comfort and cheer his cheerful countenance provided, especially during the trying times of the pandemic.
The reaction to Cheems' passing has manifested through various expressions, often encapsulated with "RIP." An Instagram user shared, "Farewell, dear companion. Your ability to bring happiness to people's lives was unparalleled." Another commenter reflected, "Was Balltze a good boy? He wasn't just good; he was the best." Amid the tributes, an individual fondly wrote, "His legacy will endure eternally; thank you, ball ball, for everything." A heartfelt sentiment read, "Rest well, Cheems. Your infectious laughter will be missed, little buddy." As condolences pour in, one user encapsulated the collective sentiment, stating, "In these challenging times, you gave him a life of splendor and spread joy to millions. May strength accompany you through this period of loss."
