A Memorial Day Tribute to K9 Heroes

Wolf thanks all veterans.
While we all head off to enjoy Memorial Day whether it is by the beach or in our backyards, and are enjoying a fun-filled time with family and friends as we take in the wafting aromas of food being grilled on the BBQ, let us all pause to reflect upon the true meaning of the day: Memorial Day, a day to remember and honor those - both human and canine - who have fallen in the line of duty to protect our nation. 

The following are some videos honoring the four-legged heroes. (The third video plays automatically. To turn off the sound, just click on "pause" to that video until you are ready to listen to it).






Please click here for a special Police Dog Memorial Service at a special K9 Cemetery.


During World War II, Siberian Huskies were among the breeds used as working war dog soldiers. Buck, a Siberian Husky pictured here, was the U.S. War Dogs Ambassador. He died March 23, 2006. Rest in Peace, Buck.

If you'd like to learn more about Buck and the War Dogs, you can visit Buck's Heroes.  A wonderful book of the same title is what's on the shelves here at FiveSibes. After reading the story, I purchased the autographed book and highly recommend it (this is a personal, non-compensated testimony). Filled with beautiful illustrations, the book's synopsis is:

Book illustration by Tonia Marynell
"On a splendid fall day some thirty years after serving in Vietnam as a dog handler, Johnny Mayo attends a reunion of former handlers and their families at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. He brings with him, Buck, his pet husky of 10 years. Buck accompanies his master to the polished black granite memorial wherein are inscribed the names of the 58,178 men and women who were killed or missing in action. While gazing at the wall by his master's side, Buck begins hearing and seeing the ghosts of the dogs who were participants in the war. His master's two beloved scout dogs along with many others tell Buck what life was like for them and the soldiers they served and protected. Buck and his master leave the memorial with a renewed sense of camaraderie and closure."

Please be sure to visit the U.S. War Dogs Association's K9 Wall of Honor to read about some of the heroes and their handlers, and also to view some memorials visit the Connecticut Police Work Dog Association's K9 Monuments page to read about these magnificent and loyal warriors. And for a great K9 cartoon called Fudge & Friends, check out today's blog entry at Life With Dogs.

                                                                                                       
The Soldier Dog  
by Joe Ferra 

I was trained to use my eyes to
watch and protect you from harm.
My ears to alert you of impending
danger like an alarm.
My keen sense of smell to detect
an enemy close at bay.
Yes I was a soldier who gave my life
so you could fight another day.
So remember me as time goes by
This soldier dog so true.
For I had only one life to give
and I gave that life to you.

From the FiveSibes and I, we thank all of our soldiers and war dogs, and wish everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day.

Cool Time Pool Time!

"Pool!" is a magic word to the FiveSibes! That one little word holds so much meaning and can make five sets of blue eyes grow wider and Sibe smiles spread! So, to give my furkids a break from lounging inside in the A/C during the recent humid days, I pulled out their old pool from last year (we had two, but they chewed holes in one) to let them have some fun cooling off (the water was clear when we started) as we enjoy the Memorial Day weekend and celebrate the Hu-Dad's birthday!


We hope you and your furbabies are enjoying your weekend! If you haven't seen yesterday's blog entry, please be sure to check out the "Patriotic Pets" Photo Contest info, and then pop back over tomorrow for a special canine Memorial Day tribute. 

We hope you and your furkids are having a safe and happy holiday weekend, and are finding fun ways to "keep it cool!"

            As National Police Week Comes to a Close, the K9 Officer is Honored




            This week has been a very special week as it was National Police Week, a time for thanking and honoring all members of the police, including the K9 officers. The beautiful tribute to K9 partners pictured here is a creation of Nessie as posted on the Law Enforcement Today Facebook page. The dedication, love, and hard work exhibited by the canine cops each and every day are just amazing. A loyal partner and dedicated officer of the law indeed.


            Below is a great documentary, Freedog, highlighting the special bond between police dog and handler by filmaker Stephanie Tabor.


            FREEDOG from Stephanie Tabor on Vimeo.

            And a round of "a-paws" and thanks also goes out to the Siberian Husky Canine Police Dogs of the Canadian Mounted Police. In the late 1800s, the Canadian Mounted Police used Huskies and Malamutes to conduct their long winter patrols in the North Country, and later in the Arctic regions. By 1898, the police had over 100 dogs. It is written that the Husky dog teams also helped the Mounties keep the law during the wild Gold Rush days.  "On you Huskies!"

            While we are so thankful to our Troopers, police officers, and K9 cops for all they do to protect and serve every day, why not take a moment today and "thank a cop," including the four-legged ones! 
            "It is not just those with two legs who were born with a soul that has courage to wear the badge" ~Nessie~

            Four Paws Up for "Paw Hide" Game!

            Chloe asks, "Will you play 'Paw Hide' with me?"
            So the FiveSibes were really excited and running around wooing when they found out they were going to be toy testers for Kyjen's site Boycott Boring Toys! We selected the game "Paw Hide," it's a giant plastic paw with compartments you hide treats in and then put the paw-shaped cups over them to hide the treats. The object of the game, of course, is for our furkids to sniff out the treats and figure out the best way to get to that treat! 

            This is a great canine game. They were interested in it from the get-go, and it was fun to watch each one go play in a different way. My Sibes range in weight from Gibson, who is 111 pounds to 57-pound Bandit to 49 pound Harley...and all were equally entertained. The toy held up to rigorous chomps, paws, and flips from all of my Huskies. What a really great way to occupy a furkid! If you're thinking about getting your dog a "different" type of toy, this one really tests their intelligence and perseverance, as well as giving them a fun and rewarding time. Plus, it's a hoot for the entire hu-family to watch them play!  

            Below is a video (it's about four-and-a-half minutes long) to give you an idea in real time just how much fun they had.


            The FiveSibes sure had a pawsome time playing "Paw Hide."

            A Call for Helping Two Huskies in Need


            Ice is waiting for her new Hu-Mom.
            Blind "Skye" has a new Hu-Mom waiting for her!
            The FiveSibes are asking all blogger friends to help these two beautiful Huskies, who are in need of reaching their new forever homes, by reaching out to friends and followers to answer the universal call of animal assistance.

            There are two beautiful female Siberians – Skye (who is blind) and Ice - who are in desperate need of being rescued from being put to sleep due to extreme overcrowding in the facility they are currently housed in. The fantastic news is that forever homes have been offered to both of these beauties, but the new adoptive Hu-parents need a little help with transporting the gals from the shelter in California. According to the one adoptive Hu-Mom, Nena, “We need a person that could pull both dogs, possible hold, then deliver to Van Nuys, California airport. We are starting to look for cross-country transport and are hoping NOT to have to use a major airline as dogs ride in cargo area.”  ☹

            If you, or someone you know can help these two Huskies get a second lease on life and reach their new loving forever homes, please visit this link and let “Nena” know by leaving her note or message on her Facebook page!  Please tell her FiveSibesMom sent you! 

            Please "share," "retweet," and "repost" this message!  "Woos" and "Thank Yous" for helping in this rescue effort! And let's all remember, together, we CAN make a difference and make this world a better place for homeless Huskies!

            Happy Mother's Day from the Furkids!

            "Happy Mother's Day to woo, Mom!"


            A Mother's Day Poem from the Dog
            --American Greetings card
             
            You feed me when I'm hungry,
            You keep water in my dish,
            You let me sleep on anything
            Or in any place I wish.

            You sometimes let me lick your hands,
            or even lick your face,
            Despite the fact I've licked myself
            In every private place.

            You taught me how to come when called,
            You taught me how to sit,
            You always let me go outside,
            So I can take a...stroll.

            You'll always have my loyalty,

            up to the bitter end,
            'cause after all, it's plain to see...

            You are a dog's best friend!

            Happy Mother's Day!


            "Awww, thanks, Kids. Love you!" ~Hu-Mom

             The FiveSibes, Smokie the honorary Husky cat, and I hope all you moms (both canine and human) have a wonderful Mother's Day!

            The Singing Sibes

            Harley singing her heart out!
            A few of the "tricks" the FiveSibes have learned include "speak" and "sing." Now, as every Sibe parent can attest to, Siberian Huskies just love to talk. And with a little encouragement and training, they can talk, sing, and howl on request (again and again and again)! Their singing is so part of their charm, and fortunately, I have wonderful neighbors who love to hear our Huskies sing! Here is a little fun movie trailer of "The Singing Sibes" having such a howling good time that we submitted it to Pup Love's "Tricks for Treats" contest. We always love asking them to speak or sing and then enjoy listening to their conversations and songs! We hope you'll enjoy the trailer and a clip of one of their songs! (A Top Ten "with a paw" for sure!) And visit Pup Love's site to view all the video submissions, they are all quite good!



            A sample clip with vocals...

            WELCOME!

            Welcome to the FiveSibes blog! At our home, we are the proud parents to five beautiful, lovable, energetic full-blooded Siberian Huskies whom we fondly refer to as "the kids!" Out of the five, four are siblings, three of them littermates! We also have an "Honorary Husky Cat" who adopted us, and most recently, she brought home another furpal, a feral kitten who has now adopted us, too! These furbabies are truly are a part of our family and we love them so! Through this blog, you will get to meet each one of them and share in a laugh or a cry at their fun-loving, crazy, wacky, and sometimes worrisome antics.

            I first began the idea of creating a FiveSibes blog quite awhile ago when one of our Sibes, my wooly boy, Gibson, developed seizures shortly after his third birthday. When I began writing my journal of his medical journey, I had started posting entries on other social media as a way of connecting to others who also experienced the same with their dogs. Through this medium, I was able to connect with some pretty terrific dog-loving folks, both owners of Sibes, as well as other breeds,who I am happy to now call my friends.

            My intention for this blog is to write about "a day in the life of" the FiveSibes, bringing thoughts, ideas, photos, tips, and discoveries to the forefront of discussion about the wonderful breed, as well as all things canine with others who share the same passion and love for their furbabies as we do.

            We also hope to help spread the word that there are so many abandoned and homeless Sibes out there who could use a loving home. Too many times folks bring home a Husky simply for their beauty, but do not do the research to understand the breed and its needs and then turn the dog into a shelter when they can't/won't care for it anymore. Please visit the Sibe rescues listed on this site if you are considering bringing a Siberian Husky into your home. There are so many beautiful furbabies just waiting for a loving, forever home. Maybe yours could be one!

            Let's make this forum a nice, comfy, polite place for everyone to visit--bring along your darling dog (or dogs), pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and let's talk canine!
