Sibe Spa Day: A Photo Essay!



The day began innocently with a beautiful dawn...

When suddenly...the Sibes realized it was SPA DAY!
"Big Brother Gibson is outside...what are they doing to him???"

He didn't seem to mind the loud contraption...

 
Can you hear Harley panting? She knew whose turn was next...

Wolf and Bandit tried to hide...

Oh, no...he got Chloe! Time for some (badly needed) nail clipping...

She's not happy...but look at those pretty manicured paws!


All this came from Gibson...and it's not really even coat blowing season!!!


 "Woo...Spa Day is hard work."


Gibson getting ready for a nap while it was Harley's turn in the tub!


After she was blow-dried, she show us her floofy white tail (or did she tell us
to kiss her beautiful clean Husky @$$???)


"(Sigh). It's hard work being beautiful. They better be done."


"Do you think it's safe to go back out??? Can we make a break for it??"


"Woo! We escaped! Hey...Gib...(sniff)...you sure do smell good!
Maybe Spa Day's not so bad after all."

    You look spectacular, but we aren't letting the
    Momster see you - she might get some idea about doing that here. Ciara is blowing coat bigtime, but the boys are holding off for a while yet.

    Looks like a very successful spa day! I wish Bella would let me do her nails - I keep telling her I can give a good pedicure, but she's having none of it.

    While reading this I wondered if your groomer drives to your house because that's what it looked like to me. I think you are all looking very pretty!

    We know the feeling! We both got baths yesterday, and today we had to get our fingernails cut! Spa days are NOT relaxing at all!

    Everybody looks so clean and well, beautiful!!!
    Yes it is a LOT of work!! My back couldn't take it!! About the only time Bambi gets a bath now a days is when she rolls in something stinky!! That seems to be in the spring and the fall.
    Thanks for coming over to help celebrate Bambi's Gotcha Day! We are just so happy we made another year together!!

    Getting groomed, bathed and "prettified" can be tedious, but we have a saying here that's something like "even the old hag will suffer to be pretty".

    You all look very nice now!

#PrayersForHarley - Dewclaw Tumor

Image
Dewclaws. Such an unnecessary evil for a dog. In August, I noticed Harley limping. At 11-and-a-half, she is a bit stiff-legged at times from arthritis, but this was a more pronounced limp and she was having an extra tough time sitting down. She seemed very uncomfortable. She was also becoming a bit snarley, especially when I was touching her paw, which is something that never typically bothers her. Upon further checking, I noticed an odd lump around her dewclaw on her right leg, thinking it was possibly a pulled dewclaw, maybe a splinter, thistle, or even a bee sting , she became extremely agitated when I touched it.    (Warning: some photos may be somewhat graphic, but I am sharing for educational purposes).   Oddity beneath the dew claw.   Off to the vet we went. At the vet, Harley is protective of her paw by hiding it . Harley's paw was shaved and it uncovered a very large inflamed area surrounding the dewclaw and beyond, as you can see in ...

The Rainbow Bridge Welcomes A New FurAngel - Buddy, the Christmas Husky - A Forever Symbol of Hope for Rescued Dogs

Image
Original photo by and courtesy of Lisa Byrd; modified by FiveSibes The Rainbow Bridge must be some (p)awesome place to be for it has so many amazing, beautiful angel animals there. My beloved Gibson is there. As is my Chelsey, Sandy, kitty Smokie, bunny Sunny, my fox Ah, many horses, and so many others pets. We have many furfriends who have also crossed The Rainbow Bridge. All of these beloved animals are there...so healthy and happy, with all the dogs enjoying their zoomies and playing Fetch all day in a land that is eternally beautiful. Sounds perfect. Only catch is when our devoted companions are there, we can no longer physically be with them. So while they are in a place where the spirit soars, our hearts are broken as we are missing them here with us. It is a hurt we all as pet parents now way too well.  And today, as unbelievable as it seems as I write this, we have to bid a final farewell to another dear furpal, Buddy, the Christmas Husky , who has now earned h...

Fit For Our #FiveSibes Alpha Queen: Celebrating Harley's 14½ Birthday

Image
Born on March 10, 2005, our beautiful alpha queen, pupster surrogate momma, and my daughter's and our first Siberian Husky,  turns 14½ today! You may be wondering why are we celebrating her half birthday? Because, as heartbreaking as it is, we now know she will not be here in March to celebrate her 15th Birthday as I once had hoped. Heartfelt thanks to Ann at Zoolatry for this beautiful badge. Thank you all who are sharing it and joining paws for our girl. As amazing and strong as our queen has been, and how proud I have been of how she still could outrun Pupsters Wolf and Bandit, still splash in her pool like a puppy, tear up a dog bed like there's no tomorrow, and chase her tail until the sun sets, our beloved Husky leader has also been dealing with health issues that we have been treating, but are now slowing her down and, heartbreakingly we are preparing ourselves for her journey, that we as pet parents all dread, to the Rainbow Bridge.  “Dogs' lives a...
