#FBF: Siberian Huskies Have A Pool Party! And a Poolside Cat Visit!

Image
   FiveSibes #Flashback ~ July 2016 ~ "Harley" W hen the heat went up, the kiddie pools came out and as soon as the hose turned on, our alpha queen Harley would eagerly jump in and play with the hose spray! She was always the first in the pool! Oh, how she loved it! I'm not sure who enjoyed it more—Harley playing in the water or me watching her play! And then the whole pack would join in the cool pool zoomies! Below is my favorite pic of all FiveSibes, as it's not super clear as they were moving fast and having a blast! Fun times!      Now, our adopted feral kitty, Binx, while not into swimming, sure didn't mind snuggling with my daughter poolside, and even gave her a kiss! A very big deal for a feral kitty!     FiveSibes #Flashback ~ July 2016 ~ "Binx"         đź’™ Memories Are Visits For The Heart đź’™      The Linky tool below for the Blog Hop will open all week for you to join us and share pics from yesteryear or y...

W oo! It's summertime! And for many families with kids, it means days filled with swimming in the pool or favorite swimming spot, playing with friends, going to camp, going on vacation with family, and long days filled with play and romping with the family dog! But, some days you may hear the "B" word (bored), so what is a fun project to do with them to keep them occupied and have fun? It's not just for kids - it's a fun project you can do with your dog, too! So, what is it?  Painting with your dog!  Okay, you may be saying, "Excuse me? Dogs can't paint." But I'm here to say, "Yes, they can!" You and/or your kids can have fun painting with. your dog, and also have fun watching your dog paint! Now, of course we always recommend having a parent supervise  children for safety, but I bet everyone will want to join in the fun, too. I sure would! Here at FiveSibes, I've enlisted someone furry special... To help me with this arti...

Happy Fourth With Our Huskies & Their Gift of Love & Dog-Safe Fireworks

   #Flashback ~ July 2019 ~ (above) pupster Bandit & her "firework"  and (below) Harley, Wolfie & Bandit with their "fireworks!"  And L'il Firecracker sure fit them well (especially Harley & Bee!)   T he story behind these photos, which took place in July of 2019, just five weeks after Chloe had earned her wings, is a touching one, and shows the true love between a boy and his dogs. My grandson (who also recently co-wrote my new book, Wolfie, What is the Rainbow Bridge? ) felt the remaining three Huskies—Wolfie, Bandit, and Harley—were very sad and missing Chloe. So, he went to the store with his mother/my daughter, and picked out "firecracker" squeaky toys for them as cheer-up toys! Yup, I cried. For so young, his love and compassion for the dogs shined through...and did right up until Wolfie (who became his best buddy) earned his wings. So while bittersweet, I will always remember the love and kindness my grandson had for the dogs during...
