 I am posting a "Live Gib Strong" Epi-Tip each day for the month of November for National Epilepsy Awareness Month in the hopes that we can help to continue to educate and inform people about dogs living full, happy lives with Canine Epilepsy.

Today, we are joining in the Tasty Tuesday Blog Hop with a special November Giveaway in honor of our "Live Gib Strong" K-9 Epilepsy Awareness Campaign! Please be sure to visit all the other blog sites listed in the blog hop at the bottom of this post to check out their tasty posts, and don't forget to visit our hosts Sugar, the Golden Retriever and Kol's Notes blogs, too, for great recipes, tips, and tasty info!

Gibson says, "Thank Woo" for helping Epi-Dogs in  Need

At House Wolf, they make wholesome dog treats and one of their delicious dog treats they have formulated with the Epi-Dog (canine epileptic) in mind called "Gibbie Snacks" - named after my Epi-Husky, Gibson. (I previously posted about the debut of this treat and you can read all about it HERE.) When you order any one-pound bag of these delicious treats (just ask Gibson!) House Wolf will donate $1 to The Wally Foundation (TWF)  for Canine Epilepsy. TWF offers financial assistance to rescues, fosters, and hu-parents of dogs with idiopathic epilepsy. 
There Will Be Four Lucky Winners!

For the month of November, as part of our "Live Gib
Strong" K-9 Epilepsy Awareness Campaign and National Epilepsy Awareness Month, for every order of a minimum of three (3) one-pound bags of Gibbie Snacks, your name will automatically be entered into a random drawing for one (1) FREE half-pound bag of Gibbie Snacks AND some tasty bakery-made cookies for the hu-family from Edelweiss Bakery, home of House Wolf! To order, visit House Wolf's web store HERE. 

Talk about a win-win-win! You can:
1) Order your dog some delicious, healthy bakery home-made-in-the-USA treats,
2) Have a donation made to TWC to help Epi-dogs;
3) Be entered to win treats for your pups and you!

 We'd like to thank House Wolf for being part of this important campaign, for creating healthy treats for our furkids, and for making the donations to The Wally Foundation to help Epi-dogs and their families.

 Drawing will be held on December 1st, and announced shortly after.

#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 below photo

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 his w

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

Preparing Your Epi-Dog For The Solar Eclipse

Image
Article Updated 04/04/2024   T here is a lot of buzz about the upcoming solar eclipse, especially for folks who are in the path of totality. No matter where you live, if you plan on watching the solar eclipse, aside from protecting your eyes from “eclipse blindness” with special American Astronomical Society approved eclipse glasses, but did you know that the eclipse could have an affect on your Epi-dog (epileptic dog)? With the simulation of “night” as the sun is covered by the moon, animals may go into a nocturnal mode, or seem restless or confused, while others, will be unfazed. However, the excitement of the eclipse by humans could create excitement in our dogs, whether they have epilepsy or not, as they pick up on our energy and moods. The same as with non-epileptic dogs, if there is a lot of noise, whistling, clapping, or fireworks to celebrate, dogs could be frightened and attempt to escape. As with any loud or stressful holiday or event, be sure to have your pets se
