Woo-Woo...All Aboard for Today's Stop Along the Blog Book Release Tour

Today's What's Wrong With Gibson? Learning About K-9 Epilepsy Book Release Blog Tour stops at the Gimpy Dogs, and we are so pleased to be part of their blog and truly enjoyed their interview. We want to give a big "thank woo" to them for joining our book tour and for helping to spread the word about Canine Epilepsy Awareness and our book. We sure hope you'll pop over and read their great article and take some time to read some of their other great stories about dogs with special needs and the listing of resources available. We sure had a lot of fun and want to extend our wholehearted thanks for featuring us!


Gibson is pooped from all the touring, but loves that his furpals are helping to spread the word about Canine Epilepsy Awareness and helping to promote his book in order to help raise funds for the Canine Epilepsy Resources, a non-profit organization that provides valuable information and resources to Epi-Dog parents worldwide. He is busy catching some zzzzz's and dreaming about his next book tour stop - which will be this Sunday on Dog Works Media radio out of Alaska!

Other stops and sites along the way who are featuring  
What's Wrong With Gibson? that you may like to visit, 
so far include:




 
We thought we'd share our Canine Epilepsy Awareness video once again and give a nod to our Epi-furpals from across the globe (and to our Gibson who just turned 6 in January!)


If you would like to host us as part of the book tour, please feel free to contact us at FiveSibes(at)gmail(dot)com. We'd love to have you join in and help spread the word about K-9 Epilepsy Awareness. If you would like to purchase a copy of What's Wrong With Gibson? you can do so by visiting ArcticHouse Publishing.  A percentage of proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Canine Epilepsy Resources Center to aid them in their continued work of providing valuable information and resources to Epi-dog parents worldwide.

    One of our first labs was an epileptic so I am very happy about your campaign to raise awareness of canine epilepsy and to raise money for the resource center. There was little info available 20 yrs ago when we faced this disorder with our Lab. I'm so glad that the situation is changing.

#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...
