It's Our 6th Blogiversary and We're Celebrating With a FiveSibes Tales Giveaway!



Wow! It's a special newsy Tuesday as we here at FiveSibes are celebrating our SIXTH Blogiversary this month! As a photojournalist by trade, I was inspired to start blogging by my five Siberian Huskies: Harely, Gibson, Wolfgang, Chloe, and Bandit. Their personalities and antics and our love of the breed spurred me to begin writing about them. 



My first blog post February 23, 2010
My very first FiveSibes blog post was on February 23, 2010 with an article on proper dental care for Pet Dental Health Month. Blogging is an something I enjoy very much. I love to write and I love being a photographer. This blog gives me the opportunity to share my work in the pet arena...and I have fabulous models in the FiveSibes! I enjoy sharing stories about their lives, and bringing information about the Siberian Husky breed as well as healthcare issues, diet and nutrition, and holistic and traditional therapies that benefits not only Huskies, but all dogs. And as equally enjoyable is getting to know you all from your comments and your blogs!

When my beloved furangel Gibson began his journey with Canine Epilepsy and first started having seizures in 2009, shortly after his third birthday, I also began to advocate for dogs with Canine Epilepsy and help bring awareness that these amazing dogs, with some special care, can and do live full, happy lives. And his legacy lives on for in the end, it was Canine Cancer: hemangiosarcoma, NOT Canine Epilepsy, that suddenly earned him his wings. We had managed his seizures with a mix of medications, supplements, and alternative therapies, and even though he battled many side effects that he continued to bravely overcome, he lived seizure free for the last seven years of his life! So his #LiveGibStrong message will continue on to help bring hope and help to other Epi-dogs and their families and my beautiful brave boy shall #LiveGibStrongForever.





There are so many blog highlights - from favorite stories, videos, and product/book/movie reviews to awards to the publication of my books - that to single out a single favorite or to highlight them all, would be so much! I just love blogging! And I, along with my FiveSibes, appreciate all the friends we have made along the way and want to send out a big "Thank You" for being loyal readers! We look forward to many more years of sharing our tales of our furry tails with you!



As our special way of saying "Thank You" for your loyal readership, we're hosting a Blogiversary Giveaway!

  16. Happy 6th Blogiversary! Your first blog was February 23, 2010. I have a collection of dog books for my triplet grandchildren. When they come to grandma and grandpa's house we read dog books. My grandchildren have 2 rescue black lab and Great Pyreness (Luke & Leia) that's 1 year old. I want them to learn about how to take care and love your dogs and I really believe it is thru reading books to them at a young age. They love books
