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 ...

  Woo! Our #FiveSibes & Friends America's Semiquincentennial Patriotic K9 Parade slideshow video is completed and up! (The imagined imagine above I created in AI, but all the dogs in the video are real!)  While July 4th has passed, this year—2026—is a special one as it's the 250th year of our country that is being celebrated all year long, and I'm thrilled to have some of our FiveSibes beautiful Facebook furfriends join in this special slideshow video! Hope you enjoy!    Very special thanks go out to our gorgeous furfriends who shared their festive pics on our FiveSibes: Siberian Husky K9 News & Reviews Independence Day Facebook post and said "yes" (or "woo") to being part of this special "parade!" I'm thankful for all the fabulous friendships made through our beloved pets.

#FiveSibes Flashback ~ 2017 ~ Pupsters "Bandit" & "Chloe"   I was always proud of how well my FiveSibes got along, including our three Pupsters (littermates), who grew up together and all five were so very bonded. No Littermate Syndrome here (boasts this proud hu-momma)! All FiveSibes always loved to share beds, hugs, and snacks! Pure happiness.
