FBF: The Best Feel Better Medicine Has Fur

  #Flashback ~   FiveSibes l-r: Wolfie, Bandit, Chloe, Harley ~ 2018      This week will be a short and sweet #FBF as I am definitely feeling way under the weather. I thought sharing the above photo from 2018 was perfect when my sweet FiveSibes gathered all around when I was...yup, you guessed it...sick. Oh, how I miss my "nurses."    As a result of not feeling well at all this week, I am a tad behind on commenting on blog posts and sharing posts on our social media. As soon as I'm feeling back to myself (hopefully sooner rather than later), I''ll be sure to pop around and visit. Without my furry nurses, it may take longer to recuperate.   Tell Me: Do your pets instincitvely gather around you when you are under the weather?    “When humans get sick, dogs become medicine with fur — soothing our hearts long before our bodies catch up.”  ~Unknown     JOIN US  for our weekly #FlashbackFriday Blog & Social Media H...

Here at FiveSibes, I've once again enlisted someone furry special who inspired this series... Mishka is very special "pawtist"—a beautiful Husky, who along with her devoted hu-mom and handler, Mickey, have become dea...

FBF: Sweet Siblings Sharing Summer Snacks

 FiveSibes #Flashback ~ "Wolfie" ~ Summer 2021   O h, be still my heart! I was looking over photographs of my grandchildren with Wolfie that I took while also was writing Wolfie , What Is The Rainbow Bridge?  I came across a few (dozen) photos from one August day in 2021 when we were all hanging out in our new backyard, and in between dashes through the sprinkler and dips in the kiddie pool, my grandkids and Wolfie took a snack break. Wolfie, being the last remaining Sibe of my beloved FiveSibes, adored the kids. They were his new happy place, and where they went, he went. Pictured above, all three stopped summer playing to enjoy a quick snack of freshly popped popcorn, which my grandchildren happily shared a few bites with Wolfie (before I stepped in with dog biscuits!) Oh, the wonderful memories we made with our furry best friend. They will forever fill my heart with joy.    “The most powerful times in our lives can be the time between times, or (in) life’s ...
