As many of you who follow me know, through my FiveSibes  #LiveGibStrong and #Paws4Purple educational initiatives I always try to bring you important and valid information on current research and news about Canine Epilepsy. I'm sharing today that the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Health Foundation released a new article, "Together, We Can Turn the Tide on Canine Epilepsy," and it's an important one!   "Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder in dogs, affecting roughly 1 in 100 dogs."   ~AKC Canine Health Foundation As we know, epilepsy can affect any breed or mix breed of dog, anywhere in the world.

  FiveSibes #Flashback ~ Wolfie, Bandit, Chloe, Harley & Gibson ~ 2011    "Home is where my dogs are sleeping."    Oh, be still my heart. How I loved when my FiveSibes would snuggle in together on their beds all in their Sibe swirls (except Gibson who loved to stretch out always keeping his head on his love Harley's bed)! There was nothing more wonderful to see than all five of them together safe, happy, and sleeping peacefully. The memory of this feeling still hugs my heart. How I wish I could pause the hands of time and revisit this exact one moment of so many like it over the years. The memories and my FiveSibes, will always reside in my heart. How blessed I was to have had these five amazing, beautiful, bonded Huskies in my life for all of their lives. 💙 Memories Are Visits For The Heart  💙  YOU'RE INVITED TO JOIN US!
