Well, the month sure has flown by! This is our 30th (and last) daily FiveSibes #LiveGibStrong Epi-Tip in conjunction with November's Epilepsy Awareness Month, and I'd like to dedicate it to my own Husky, Gibson, my Epi All Star! While November may be coming to a close, our campaign to spread the word about Canine Epilepsy continues on! Dogs can - and DO - live full, happy lives with Canine Epilepsy. So spread the word! Education is key, and letting folks know they are not alone is so important! Help is just a keystroke away! 


Gibson and his helpers Harley and Chloe check out the new shipment of Live Gib Strong K-9 Epilepsy Awareness bracelets! If you'd like one, they are just $5, including shipping & handling in the USA (outside of USA, contact me and I'll have it checked for postage fees at the Post Office), with $1 from each sale going to Canine Epilepsy Resources "Emma's Fund" and $1 to The Wally Foundation. Contact us if you are interested, or you can you can purchase via our website at ArcticHouse Publishing or through PayPal to ArcticHousePublishing(at)gmail.com. Be sure to check off that the funds are for friends & family. And then wear your purple with pride!

Still coming ahead in December will be our Purple Pumpkin Project video, and - of course - the release of my new book all about these Epi warrior dogs, so we are not done! Canine Epilepsy Awareness is not just for one month - it's every day of every month. If you missed any of our Epi-Tips or posts, visit past posts for this month to catch up.

 And don't forget - my illustrated children's book is available from our publishing website HERE, and a portion of proceeds from the book benefits Canine Epilepsy Resources "Emma's Fund" through the Epil-K9 Foundation housed at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The book, a three-time "Best in Print" recipient from American Pet Magazine, was just favorably reviewed by Writer's Digest!

 

Gibson and I would like to thank our furpal and fellow Epi-dog Patchy, the Epileptic Doggy, for this wonderfully thoughtful award! 



And we want to also sincerely thank everyone who has shared our Epi-Tips and our links, videos, and information all month long. We truly appreciate our growing purple army community! Together we will make a difference. We love our Epi-dogs!


And now a around of a-paws for my very own Epi All Star, my inspiration who is such a sweet boy, Gibson. Gib, you are a true inspiration and a proud warrior. Love you, G!

Gibson Les Paul of Mystic Mountain 
 My heart dog.

    I recently have some difficult conversations and I did what a lot of people do when they want to know more about something. I googled it. I came across Dr Williams herbal medicine on YouTube so many people thanking him about his good work. I also have epilepsy. I wasn’t running all over God’s creation with every man I could find but here I am. I have felt bad about myself for so many years now because of my epilepsy status. I obviously still have some self-accepting to do but I want to thank Dr Williams for everything he have done for my family ,after taking Dr Williams medicine i was completely free from epilepsy within one month of usage, I think what you are doing is so admirable. you have helped me a lot! I want to definitely reach out to you and thank you for your amazing work. You are a good person, and an extremely talented man. You have helped millions with your herbs, and have really inspired me,and i pray you still continue doing the good work.you can also email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for help

#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...
