Wolf Under the Weather on a Wordless Wednesday; And Binx Stopping By to Say #BlackCatsRock!

The heat wave continues scorching us here in Northeast, even though today we can at least breathe! Our FiveSibes have been living inside in the a/c, but this week sweet Wolf has been hit with a very harsh GI bug after a bit of excitement with an unwelcome visitor - Mr. Groundhog, flared up his anxiety that brought on the GI issues that bordered on HGE.  "Things" have thankfully, and finally, calmed down internally, and he did start to get his appetite back last night and ate a bland meal and homemade bone broth for supper and this morning for breakfast, so hoping the worse is over.  Pictured here, on our not-quite Wordless Wednesday, he's resting comfortably, the first time in a couple days. Stay cool and hope you are all doing well!



 And...in honor of International Black Cat Day, here comes our sweetheart "Binx,"  a feral kitty no more! 

As many of you know, he was a very feral little boy brought home five years ago by our sweet, now furangel adopted cat "Smokie." My daughter rehabilitated him, and he was vetted adopted into our family! He and Smokie were always together, and now he is the King of the front lawn! 

Gibson loved to watch the cats through the front door, and he was the only one of our Huskies who actually would lay out on the lawn while on leash with me and just chill alongside the kitties!


And yes, Binx is named after the character-turned-in-a-cat in one of our fave Halloween movies, Thackery Binx in "Hocus Pocus!"

    Hope Wolf feels better soon! Stay cool. I know the heat can be brutal.

    Binx is adorable. I somehow missed Black Cat Appreciation Day and Rosie (our black cat) is quite upset with me.

#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...
