It's Looking A Lot Like Christmas!


It's 12/12/12!!!

'Twas a couple weeks before Christmas and all the holiday critters came out of hibernation...


We know it's Christmas time when the Christmas Huskies and sled is set up!



Binx even joined in the fun stepping inside the foyer to check out Mr. Singing Snowman...although at first he was a bit surprised to see it!  


Inside the house, Queen Harley supervised the decorating of the tree!
Bandit had fun hiding under the kitchen nook table behind the large artificial Pointsettia plant! Peek-a-boo, silly BandaBear, we see you!



We love Christmas cards and are so happy to be part of the Blogville Christmas Card Exchange again this year! Gibson is our resident "postmaster" and loves to give each card a good sniff before we put them up. Funny part - to date, our family has 4 cards while the FiveSibes and Binx have 53!



The new indoor Huskies and sleigh was the hit of the season! Chloe seemed to like them!




Gibson and Wolf grew sleepy dreaming of Santa leaving them and the other Sibe kids treats in the Huskies' sleigh under the tree!




Bandit just wanted to snuggle on "her" recliner with some of her favorite toys.


We are so excited for Christmas!!! Are you?!

    Momma is filled with envy over your outside light up huskies. Of course Master would never allow that in his precious front gardens. Sigh. Looks like you guys are locked and loaded for the holidays.

    Kisses,

    PS, momma wants to tell you that she hasn't forgotten about that story you asked her for. She plans to work on it when she is on vacation in a couple of weeks.

    Mom almost brought one of those small sleighs home for us, but she really wants the big one for the lawn. But she says it costs lots of green papers, maybe another year. You all look very ready for Christmas, we are hoping it is a wonderful one for all of you.

#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...
