Flashback Friday #13: Siberian Reindogs!



Flashback to Christmas time 2007: Gibson, just shy of being two years old, and Harley, a few months shy of turning three, are all decked out in reindeer antlers ready to pull Santa's sleigh! Okay, Gibson is and Harley is just thinking "get these ridiculous ears off of me!"

 I love this photo of our "married" couple...it really shows their personality even at an early age: Gibson's silliness and Harley's queenliness - traits they both still have today that bring so much love and joy (and laughs) into our lives! 

Speaking of reindogs and reindeer...here's a little song to get you into the holiday spirit!
 


Happy Holiday Flashback Friday!

We'd like to dedicate this Flashback Friday post to a Blogger furpal, Rusty of The Thundering Herd, who made his journey North of the Rainbow Bridge this week. We will miss seeing posts and videos of Rusty's silly walk, his beautiful face, and all of his funny antics with The Herd.  Please visit The Herd's wonderful flashback to memories of Rusty posted on their blog HERE. 
 Strut proudly, beautiful boy. You are now a Christmas FurAngel. You will be missed here, but we know you'll be making all those furangels laugh and smile in those great snowy fields.


We hope you'll join us each week to kicking off the weekend with a stroll down Memory Lane by posting pics of your furbabies when they were younger on your blog, website, Facebook page, or Twitter,  then copy our badge, link it to our blog site, and then join this Linkys list with your site's URL. Hopefully, we will have a few blogs, Facebook pages, Instagram photos, etc. to hop around and enjoy some "younger years" memories! And...you can join this hop up to a week after this posting! So come on and join us in "flashing back" to those younger years!

    More human fun with those antlers - you two look very cute.

    We too were very sorry to hear about Rusty - he always made us smile.

#PrayersForHarley - Dewclaw Tumor

Image
Dewclaws. Such an unnecessary evil for a dog. In August, I noticed Harley limping. At 11-and-a-half, she is a bit stiff-legged at times from arthritis, but this was a more pronounced limp and she was having an extra tough time sitting down. She seemed very uncomfortable. She was also becoming a bit snarley, especially when I was touching her paw, which is something that never typically bothers her. Upon further checking, I noticed an odd lump around her dewclaw on her right leg, thinking it was possibly a pulled dewclaw, maybe a splinter, thistle, or even a bee sting , she became extremely agitated when I touched it.    (Warning: some photos may be somewhat graphic, but I am sharing for educational purposes).   Oddity beneath the dew claw.   Off to the vet we went. At the vet, Harley is protective of her paw by hiding it . Harley's paw was shaved and it uncovered a very large inflamed area surrounding the dewclaw and beyond, as you can see in ...

The Rainbow Bridge Welcomes A New FurAngel - Buddy, the Christmas Husky - A Forever Symbol of Hope for Rescued Dogs

Image
Original photo by and courtesy of Lisa Byrd; modified by FiveSibes The Rainbow Bridge must be some (p)awesome place to be for it has so many amazing, beautiful angel animals there. My beloved Gibson is there. As is my Chelsey, Sandy, kitty Smokie, bunny Sunny, my fox Ah, many horses, and so many others pets. We have many furfriends who have also crossed The Rainbow Bridge. All of these beloved animals are there...so healthy and happy, with all the dogs enjoying their zoomies and playing Fetch all day in a land that is eternally beautiful. Sounds perfect. Only catch is when our devoted companions are there, we can no longer physically be with them. So while they are in a place where the spirit soars, our hearts are broken as we are missing them here with us. It is a hurt we all as pet parents now way too well.  And today, as unbelievable as it seems as I write this, we have to bid a final farewell to another dear furpal, Buddy, the Christmas Husky , who has now earned h...

Fit For Our #FiveSibes Alpha Queen: Celebrating Harley's 14½ Birthday

Image
Born on March 10, 2005, our beautiful alpha queen, pupster surrogate momma, and my daughter's and our first Siberian Husky,  turns 14½ today! You may be wondering why are we celebrating her half birthday? Because, as heartbreaking as it is, we now know she will not be here in March to celebrate her 15th Birthday as I once had hoped. Heartfelt thanks to Ann at Zoolatry for this beautiful badge. Thank you all who are sharing it and joining paws for our girl. As amazing and strong as our queen has been, and how proud I have been of how she still could outrun Pupsters Wolf and Bandit, still splash in her pool like a puppy, tear up a dog bed like there's no tomorrow, and chase her tail until the sun sets, our beloved Husky leader has also been dealing with health issues that we have been treating, but are now slowing her down and, heartbreakingly we are preparing ourselves for her journey, that we as pet parents all dread, to the Rainbow Bridge.  “Dogs' lives a...
