Monday Mischief - Couch Potatoes

Image
Okay, kids, I'll get right on that!   (Discretion Advised: Please excuse the dirty, chomped-up blue Peep rabbit. It's Harley's most favorite toy in the whole world! And while she cuddles with it, Chloe wants absolutely nothing to do with it!) * * * * * * * * * * * It's a Blog Hop!

A Hero Arrives in Heaven

Image
Hero, a forever symbol of hope & awareness. It is with sadness that I must relay that final update on Hero, the Christmas pup. The sweet little boy who was a real fighter, earned his wings this evening and has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. May he run free and healthy North of the Rainbow Bridge. He will always serve as our beacon and symbol of hope and seizure awareness. To honor his fight, we will all carry with us how this wonderful little Husky pup brought a worldwide pet community to join together for the greater cause - helping a helpless animal. To read Hero's story, please visit our previous post from yesterday that included updates and video message in Helping a Hero . Alley, of Alley's Rescued Angels , you are wonderful for all that you did as his guardian. Hero was lucky you found him. For your vet team, Siberian Nation , and all the champions of Hero - you are all so caring and compassionate. This little boy will always be our symbol and we will carry on his l

A Sibe Super Sniffer on a Shadow Shot Sunday

You can't fool Harley's nose; the best super sniffer in the pack! "I talk to him when I'm lonesome like;  and I'm sure he understands.   When he looks at me so attentively,  and gently licks my hands;  then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,  but I never say naught thereat.   For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,  but never a friend like that." ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth

Helping a Hero

Artist rendering of Hero in fundraising poster. We all have favorite heroes. They may be human. They may be canine. Maybe they wear capes, maybe they don't. They can be real, or they can be fictional. In any case, sometimes even a Hero needs saving. And one sweet beautiful little Siberian Husky pup, named "Hero" needs our help.  Do you know the story of Hero, the Christmas pup? Just a few days after this past Christmas, a sweet little Siberian Husky puppy was left at a shelter in California. A rescue stepped in to save him and believes "This poor little baby was obviously someone's Christmas present only to find himself abandoned..."   The rescue folks at Alley's Rescued Siberian Angels discovered that the puppy was only about five weeks old, too young to have been taken away from it's mother, and was experiencing seizures...and even had one as the rescue was bringing him to the vet's office for an exam. An early Chip-In was set up to as

Happy Fourth Birthday to Our Pupsters!

Image
"Woo...we're 4 today!" Happy Birthday to our Pupsters: Wolf, Chloe, and Bandit! It's so hard to believe the babies are now four years old! But age, after all, is just a number. They sure still act like they are puppies and do everything together and in tandem like they did since the day they came home and my daughter trained them. We used to love the "puppy pile up" where they would just plop down and fall asleep on top of each other after playing. Now, they still sleep near each other; hug each other, run together, and follow each other in tandem to eat or do their business. They are a pretty comical trio and they sure do keep our alpha Harley and boy Gibson busy! Wolf has grown very close to his big brother Gibson (who just celebrated his sixth birthday on January 6th) while Chloe loves to snuggle up against Gib to keep warm when they're outside (of course, she needs to make room for Gibson's true love Harley to be near), and Bandit has become

Happy Birthday to My Daughter! Now go Jump in a Mud Puddle!

Image
My Birthday girl and her furbaby, Harley. Happy Birthday to someone very special to me...my daughter! It was through her love of Siberian Huskies and bringing our first pup, Harley, into our family that I was bit by the Husky bug! She is a wonderful daughter and Sibe-raising partner! I could never do what I do without her! I'm still amazed at how she trained three pups at one time! I would come home from the office and each day she would show me something new that Wolf, Chloe, and Bandit (also known at the Pupsters) could do. She would say, "Sit!" And in tandem...they would sit down. She would say, "Potty off the deck!" And again, like a little Siberian Husky train, they would trot in line off the deck to do their business. To this day, the three of them do things in the same style! My daughter also has the biggest heart. She rescued two starving stray and feral kittens who have grown into beautiful, healthy cats and now call this home.  All the love and b

Annabelle's Rescue Story

Image
Annabelle Have you read Annabelle's Story ? You must, but be forewarned, have the tissues handy. This story was posted today on our FiveSibes™ Facebook page by a fellow Husky lover and follower, and it has touched me deeply.  Annabelle, this beautiful red and white Husky, had one of the worst beginnings in life, including being run over by a car and left to heal without medical attention - and at the hands of her owners! That is until a thoughtful and compassionate neighbor stepped in to save her.  She is now safely with the Angels Among Us Pet Rescue who as you will read in the Annabelle's Story link above, have nursed her back to health, including an amputation. Even as a new tri-pawd, Annabelle is loving and happy and energetic. She will always need to be an inside dog, but has much love to share. Angels Among Us Pet Rescue states she requires another surgery, but they truly need some help. Here is their Facebook page and a Chip-In link for Annabelle that I'm h
