Sakura does indeed translate to Cherry Blossom, or Cherry Tree, a sort of national symbol for the Japanese. Appropriately chosen for the dog, since the Shiba Inu is a Japanese breed, as are any dogs with the word "Inu" at the end (Which means "Dog" in Japanese).
Yeah, I know, pointless display of trivial knowledge. But I never get to rant about Japan anymore.

Place my body on a ship and burn it on the sea,
Let my spirit rise, Valkyries carry me.
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me.
Fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.

Not at all pointless. Shina Inu's are a smaller version of the Akita, a masterful, fiercely loyal (to the family), potentially deadly (to the outsider) guard dog. I am guessing that houses with paper walls need some form of canine protection. Wonderful pet for the family, will NEVER take to strangers. Have a first degree of separation story or horror toward that end.
EDIT: I am getting an impression here of what it takes to father a Browncoat, and I'm really not sure what to make of it...but I think John may have a leg up on it, Roxy.

Would someone mind telling me how to insert pitures into a response?
I like seeing pictures of fellow Browncoats,a nd I have some material I'd like to post on the message boards.....my old " cut & paste" doesnt seem to work....I apologize for being a bit computer-retarded, but I'd really like to know how to add a simple digital picture to a post or reply...Thanks!

Our brilliant Penguin set up a posting tutorial

Shannara is having technical difficulties. Please hold on the line and he will probably get back to you.

Thanks MSG for the help with posting pictures.
The tutorial says pictures must have a web address...I have digital camera pictures saved in My Pictures folder of My Documents......nowhere on the web..all you folks posting pictures have them on the web somewhere? How? Why? ( other than for FFF)...this seems like a dead end for me. Thanks!

Taking advice from Shannara is generally a really bad idea. Working on the re-post as I write.

Whee, more pictures!
Magda, yep...I see where you get it from!
VE, I agree with Magda...it's good to be seeing you on here!
ShinyTrinket, I envy everyone that went to that Con-that-wasn't! All of the pictures show that everyone had a lot of fun!
Roxy, the photo of your dad is a classic! Hehe!
And it looks like you are about to belt out the chorus to a Zeppelin song in that last one...
Pretty, pretty Roxy! *sigh*
Ooh, A shiba inu! I wanted one of those...but then again, I still want Akitas...
MSG, I agree. We need a lot more photos of you. Especially in some of those outfits you wear to school that cause so many problems! 
Hi, there, Shannara! Don't think I have had the pleasure of talking to you before.
And now for a picture. The only thing I have been doing lately is costuming for the 76th, so that's all I have!
The "uniform" in progress. I'm hoping to have some different photos sometime soon...

When I think of an interesting signature you'll be the first to know.
