Newsy Tuesday: Books Hot Off the Presses!

Gibson, my Epi-dog & K-9 Epilepsy Awareness SpokesHusky

It's exciting times here...our first illustrated book in the FiveSibes™ Tales series, What's Wrong With Gibson? Learning About K-9 Epilepsy is done, printed, and hot off the presses! All pre-orders are being packaged this week and sent out, so if you ordered one, keep an eye out on the mail! We can't wait to see what everyone thinks of it! Plus, we'd like to take this time to thank everyone for supporting K-9 Epilepsy awareness as a percentage of the proceeds will benefit the non-profit center for Canine Epilepsy Resources in their continued work to bring valuable information, studies, and resources to Epi-dog parents worldwide.

We will also be embarking upon a Blog Book Tour and The Chronicle of Woos and Bailey Be Good will be our first stop! We will announce the dates and links as the interviews and reviews begin! Fun times for a good cause! If you would like to order a copy of What's Wrong With Gibson? you can check it out over at the ArcticHouse Publishing website or on our FiveSibes:Siberian Husky K9 News & Reviews Facebook community page under the "Store" tab.  And, last but not least...a big "thank you" to Kol's Notes for helping with the book tour badge!


"Come on, Mom...let's get shipping!"

P.S. - check back on Friday. It's Gibson's birthday and to celebrate we will be holding a book giveaway! Hope to see you then! ~FiveSibesMom

    HELP....I just went over (through the Facebook link) to order the book. I'm using a VISA charge card but kept getting an error message that they didn't accept AMERICAN EXPRESS cards. It isn't American Express....It's a VISA. How do we bypass this?

#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...
