Blog Book Tour Has Begun! To Celebrate, Enter to Win A Buddy, the Christmas Husky Book!


Our Blog Book Tour Badge

So excited to announce the launch of my Blog Book Tour for my recent book, Buddy, the Christmas Husky~A True Holiday Miracle! Back in November, I made the announcement that it was coming soon, and a few days before Christmas it was published! Now don't let the title fool you...while his name is the Christmas Husky, this is a poignant, heartwarming true tale for all seasons.
 
"An injured, starving, and homeless Siberian Husky is rescued by a Good Samaritan one snowy Christmas Day. Through a network of caring people across thousands of miles, the Husky, who becomes known as “Buddy, the Christmas Husky,” discovers that not all humans are mean and uncaring. His long journey brings him to find compassion, friendship, and a loving mom to call his own." 

Today, Confessions of a Rescue Mom Blog is our very first stop on the Book Tour! We are so thrilled to have her feature us in her "Fundraiser Friday" post. Please be sure to check it out HERE, as well as her other fabulous posts, and tell her the FiveSibes sent you over! 

And to celebrate, starting at midnight tonight, we will be giving away one autographed copy of Buddy, the Christmas Husky to one lucky reader! Just fill out the Rafflecopter below, and be sure to leave comments here on our FiveSibes blog and also pop over for lots of info, photos, and news on FiveSibes: Siberian Husky K9 News & Reviews Facebook page, Confessions of Rescue Mom Blog, and on Buddy, the Christmas Husky Facebook page! You can enter up until midnight January 31st! Good luck!

Just drop me a line at ArcticHousePublishing(at)gmail(dot)com and put Blog Book Tour in subject line. We appreciate your helping us to get the word out about Buddy and help us bring awareness to others about helping other abandoned and abused dogs.

Meet the real "Buddy"...

  If you would like to order some copies of Buddy, the Christmas Husky~A True Holiday Miracle (it's a story for all seasons, he was rescued on Christmas Day) you can do so by visiting ArcticHouse Publishing's online store HERE. A percentage of proceeds post production costs benefits "Buddy's Buddies" through the University of Georgia (UGA) College of Veterinary Medicine to assist with Buddy's care, and if Buddy's bill is paid up, it will go toward the care of other dogs in need at UGA.

    BTW: My Mom loves great dog books and she'd be thrilled to win. After reading a good one, she loves to donate books to our local library so that others get to share the joy.

    I would love the book for my classroom and I would share it with St. Louis Samoyed Rescue, the group I volunteer with.

#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...
