Love on a Sunday; and a Pawcircle of Healing for Furpals


As many of you know, our Gibson has been head-over-paws in love with Harley since the day we brought him home at four months of age, and she was just a one-year-old. One gaze into her blue eyes, and he was hooked! Her body slamming him into the pool, pawing him on his back, and playful Husky bites to his neck hooked this boy and he was immediately smitten with her and, six-and-a-half years later, he is still totally in love with her. Wherever you see Harley, Gibson is right by her side. This photo is of them holding paws as they lay by each other on the deck just enjoying the afternoon breeze. It personifies love...and yes, I believe animals can love and be in love! 
Happy Sunday!

Speaking of Love, Please Join Us in
Sending Woos of Get Well Wishes to Furpals Suka & Forrest: 


Our furpal, "Suka," who may of you know, has been going through a tough time lately with not feeling good. We have a badge posted here on our left in a continuous #pawcircle of hope, health, and healing...and would like to invite you to continue to join us in sending Suka all of our best wishes and woos for good health. At last report, Suka is feeling a bit better! Be strong, and please, stay out of stream beds!  Sending you lots of Husky hugs and love!

Another furpal of the FiveSibes is fellow Siberian Husky, Forrest. Forrest just underwent pre-op testing for a possible knee surgery, this time for TPLO as the previous knee surgery did not work. He is currently resting and will be re-checked in a month to see if he needs the surgery. Rest up and stay strong, Forrest! Sending you lots of Husky hugs & love!

#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...
