Happy 8th Birthday to Our Queen, Harley!

Today is a very special day here in our FiveSibes™ home...it's our Harley's 8th Birthday - the leader of our pack! Woo! It's so hard to believe that it was eight years ago today we brought the tiny little eight-week old pup with the intense mask and bright blue eyes home! This beautiful sassy little pup - who captured my daughter's heart immediately (ours too) -  grew into a beautiful, super smart, and still sassy adult, and is credited with being the first, and future leader, of the FiveSibes! After Harley became part of our family, we definitely came down with the Siberian Husky Potato Chip Syndrome! At the time, we had a then 13-year-old rescued Akita/German Shepherd, Chelsey, who we had since a pup, and she was sadly starting to get Canine Alzheimer's and arthritis, and pup Harley was just too rambunctious and rough for her, so Hu-Dad suggested getting Harley a play mate...and that's when Gibson joined our family and he has had a mad crush on Harley since that first day he came home at four months old! When the three Pupsters came along, Harley immediately took them under her wing and became their surrogate Momma, a role she still cherishes to this very day. 

Harley loves being the alpha "Queen" and she truly commands all the other Sibes' attention and respect. Plus, she still thinks she's a puppy and can just about outrun them all (with the exception maybe of Bandit!) And with a floof of her fluffy tail, she knows she is the royalty of the house! And how we love her so! Here's to many, many, many more happy and healthy years of this amazing girl being part of our family!

First, our updated annual video to celebrate our little girl from the moment she came home to now! We hope you enjoy our fond look back over the past eight birthdays!


For her birthday, of course, we celebrated with toys and the FiveSibes favorite treat - an ice cream cake with fresh ice cream from our local dairy! Of course it was a lip-smackin' good time!

Everything's all set...bring in the Birthday Girl!

Nom...nom...noms...

Here comes the fur family to join in...

Wolf leaves...Bandit joins in...

Hail! Hail! The gang's all here!

"Don't take it away yet, Mom..."

"Wooo, that was yummy. Do I have ice cream on my face?"

"I just love birthdays, don't woo?"

  8. Happy Birthday to the very beautiful Harley - she makes a lovely Queen. Amazing how similar our stories are. We became a Siberian-loving family in much the same way. Dakota so needed a pupmate - and you know the rest of the story:)
