Got Ice?


So the temps have soared back up into the 90s with some days having the humidity level at a sticky and unbearing 90-something percent. So what's a Husky to do? Our five kids snoozed a lot indoors, tore up some stuffies, engaged in some indoor zoomies, snoozed some more, and drank a lot of water we would fill with crushed ice. They love the ice and always get excited when they hear the dispenser and see us getting the ice. Apparently, they don't always want to wait for it...I was sitting in the living watching some TV, when I heard the refrigerator's ice dispenser. I thought it was my daughter getting some ice cubes for a drink, but then when she didn't answer me, I realized it could only be one of five others in the house...one of the Sibe kids! I snuck into the kitchen with my camera, and sure enough, I caught Wolf helping himself to some ice cubes! So, just how smart are Huskies? Very!

    Mom said she might have to put blinders on Lightning for this post. He watches her intently whenever she gets water or ice, but mostly ice. She is worried that one day she is going to come home to a large lake in the kitchen. Never underestimate a sibe, NEVER!!!

    BOL! Wolf, that is hilarious! Nothing like a pro-active Sibe, getting what he wants when he wants it! ;-> I am furry impressed that you figured out that machine on your own. Next up, the can opener (and please post a tutorial on that one)!

    Oh Booo! My mommy won't let me jump up on our new refrigerator. I wonder if I can convince her by showing her this post. Hmmmm...

    On another note... Nala can open the bedroom doors in our house, 'cause they have a lever instead of a door knob. I'm totally amazed every time I see her do it.

    Woofs & huggies, <3

    Our rule is play dumb if you can get the humans to do it for you, but sometimes you have no choice but to take matters into your own paws! Well done, Wolf!

    Huskies are too smart. Both of our huskies know how to open our screen doors! I love our lives with our huskies in them!

#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...
