Cheems

Cheems is an ironic Doge character popularized on /r/dogelore. The dog's real name is Balltze, also nicknamed Ball Ball. In memes, he is known for liking cheeseburgers, which the Shiba Inu pronounces, "Cheemsburbger." Memes featuring Cheems are usually based upon the character humorously misspelling various words, particularly by including extra "M" letters and first appeared on /r/dogelore in June 2019. In late August 2023, Balltze passed away due to complications from thoracentesis surgery.
