Newsy Tuesday! A Husky in Congress?

Woo! It's me Gibson...I took control of Mom's laptop today to talk about Election Day.

 First, a little disclaimer. *These photos are not in support of, or against, any particular parties, especially those who may share my name! These are for some Bloggerville fun! I mean, after all, it's not every day a Husky finds his name posted all over the town, the news, and TV!*

 Speaking of shared names...while I was riding around town with my Mom, imagine my surprise when I saw I was running for Congress! Woo! When I saw the first sign that said "Gibson" - I wooed and poked at the car window with my nose so Mom would see. But she said she already knew.

 

I was so excited! That's a really good name! I should know!

So I asked Mom if I had a campaign office like other human candidates...and she said 'Yes!' Woooo! I wanted to see my office, so we drove over...I was so excited when we pulled in. I was greeted by a really BIG bulletin board with my name on it in all of our beautiful American colors.


Arooo! There's my campaign headquarters...looks very Gibson-y and patriotic. I like it! Good job campaign woofers.


What's that? The media is here for my press conference? Photographers? Woo...I'll give them my best side. How's this?


 Hey, Mom, maybe Bloggerville Mayor Frankie and I could meet over some water and bones to discuss some canine politics? Woo! That could be fun!

Hu-Mom here...Gibson and I had a lot of fun seeing his name plastered all over town, and I have to admit, this was the first year all those political signs that popped up like weeds in a summer garden, did not bother me! But no matter who you vote for today, always remember it's a privilege and right to vote...so be sure to get out and do it! Here's to a great Election Day! And Gibson, my boy, you certainly are one very handsome, loyal, honest, and devoted candidate! You have my vote, always! ♥

    Now there's a candidate we could REALLY support... you Gibson, not the politician Gibson... Oh well. I don't think they allow dogs in Congress, but I'm sure Sissy will have Gg look into the legalities.

    You have your own book, why shouldn't you have your own congressional district?

#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...
