  W oo! It's our #FiveSibes #MerryMeme Monday and we're so happy to share this wonderful seasonal photo submitted to us of Cathy Armato's ( of DogsLuvUsAndWeLuvThem ) beautiful Siberian Husky girl "Icy" in her fun Howloween costume!

I was thrilled my "The Tale of The Horseman and The Husky" was selected as the winning caption, but I was just happy and fun writing it. I am sharing here just in time for that spooky time of year!

An everyday or a holiday photo...Here's how you can submit to us! If you'd like to check out our FiveSibes Facebook photo album of #MerryMemes,
