FiveSibes #Flashback ~ "Wolfie" ~ 2013 Excavating is hard work, just ask Wolfie! As a member of the Siberian Husky working dog breed, here he is taking a well-earned snooze after some vigorous backyard digging and excavation! However did he stay so white?!

Losing a beloved pet is so heartbreaking; a grief that lives inside of us forever. Today, on National Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, I remember all of my beloved pets who have made their journey to those welcoming fields beyond the Rainbow Bridge, and for our FiveSibes, who journeyed further north to those forever snowy fields where Siberian Huskies go and love to do snow zoomies (and sometimes even send some flakes down as a sign of their forever love). "I know how much you love me As much as I love you Each time that you think of me I know you miss me too.   So when tomorrow starts without me Do not think we’re apart For every time you think of me Remember I’m right here in your heart." ~ David Romano   Things to Do to Honor Your Furangels   🐾 Light a candle in their name  🐾  Plant a shrub or tree in their memory  🐾  Watch videos or look at photos of them when they were here 🐾  Write a letter, journal entry, blog post, or song about t...

  Woo! Today went to the dogs! It's (Inter)National Dog Day! While every day is Dog Day, how wonderful it is to have a special date to celebrate our own dogs (and give extra hugs and treats), and also remember the dogs in shelters and rescues who do not yet have a family of their own. So, another good thing to do today (besides bestow a billion kisses on your own dogs) is to share that love (and treats and some toys, even gently used and clean ones) to a shelter dog or two!  I just donated many items to a local Siberian Husky rescue! It's a great feeling to know other dogs who do not yet have their own loving forever homes have some some special things - whether it is donations of toys, grooming items, treats, food, or even a nice visit for them to get some love and exercise! What is National Dog Day all about?  National Dog Day (also known as International Dog Day) was founded in 2004 by Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate, Colleen Paige .  " ...

#Flashback ~ 2010 ~ my FiveSibes Snuggle Huskies     Oh, be still my heart! This...THIS...was how my beloved FiveSibes always snoozed together, whether outside on the deck, in their dugout ("Husky Beach"), on the cool grass, which is where this was taken, or inside our house—they were always together, always snuggling (typically wrapped around my big fluffy wooly boy, Gibson), and they were so very bonded. This still makes my heart swell with love and pride as it did when they were here. To know how much they loved being together Harley & Gibson my married couple, and the three pupsters Wolfie, Chloe, and Bandit who at just 10 weeks old, crashed their life at once (BOL), all five never to be separated - still fills me with so much love.  This is family, and family equals a forever love that never diminishes, no matter how much time goes by. These five amazing, beautiful, wonderful, loving huskies will live in my heart now forever, together. “Where there is love there ...
