Harley: A Magazine Cover Girl!

Current magazine cover girl, our Harley!
We are so thrilled that our alpha queen Harley was selected as the cover girl for the current issue (Volume 1; Issue 3) of  American Pet Magazine! Woooo! Of course, your Royal Highness, the Queen, is enjoying every moment of her fame! We are having a copy framed, just in her honor!

If you haven't checked out this fairly new online magazine (they debuted last summer and currently have three issues in their first volume series), you must do so! It is full of great pet articles and helpful information on dogs, cats, horses, fishes, ferrets, and more! Now, I'm not singing this publication's accolades because I am a contributing writer and photographer, I'm saying it because it really is super magazine jam-packed with info and articles in each issue. Publisher Suzin Karp, along with her four-legged staff of GypsyPrince, MissKitty, and PeanutButter, have brought pet owners a valuable resource delivered in between the virtual pages of this magazine. Ad space is also available, and Karp says in her debut issue, "American Pet Magazine is a new resource to help you and your pet live safely and confidently. I encourage you to support the advertisers and pass along this complimentary copy. A percentage from every paid advertiser will be donated to no-kill shelters, rescues and events. Together, we’ll help save lives, One pet at a time. One day at a time. One life at a time!! Join our cause for pets!" 

Yes! That is our girl Bandit with Mr. Pumpkin!

And while flipping through the pages of the current issue, please be sure to read my article on page 16 "Pet Safety: Keeping the Scream out of Halloween" for some great tips on keeping your pet safe during the upcoming trick-or-treating season. And...a special "treat" includes a section on our Blogger furpals, the Cybersibes annual "Show Us Your Treat Jar" event to help homeless animals that many of us have participated in during previous Halloween seasons. Read all about it straight from Jack, Moo, and Pat - and be sure to pencil in this year's event date - Saturday, October 27 - on your calendars!  A big thanks to the Cybersibes for "chatting" with me about this great event for inclusion in my American Pet Magazine article!

Until next time...kick back and catch up on reading all three issues of the new American Pet Magazine and if you know someone who would like to advertise in it, remind them that according to the publisher, "A percentage from every paid advertiser will be donated to no-kill shelters, rescues and events."  
Have a wonderful, safe, happy, healthy, and restful Labor Day!

    Yay Harley! You look beautiful! I always knew you had cover-girl looks! Congratulations on the gorgeous cover. Furry impressive! Just don't break too many Alpha Male hearts!

    The magazine sounds great and I will definitely be reading it. And I really like that a percentage of ad costs will be donated to help the animals. What a great idea and I do hope it helps to bring in many new advertisers.

    Great article, and much needed important tips. Bandit, pawsome photo with the pumpkin! :->

#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...
