We are a week late for National Vet Tech Week (October 15-21), so we are highlighting it for our Flashback Friday as my Sibes and I wanted to be sure to recognize all the amazing Vet Techs out there who care so loving care for our pets and assist our vets! I am especially grateful to all our FiveSibes Vet Techs at Kingston Animal Hospital who have continuously over the years love and care for our Husky babies. They are not just our furbabies' caregivers, they are family!
Our Flashback Friday photo of two of our Sibes, Harley & Gibson, with two of their favorite
VTs, June & Jessica!
Vet Techs, we cheer for you!
Here is our video featuring some of our (p)awesome Vet Techs caring for my FiveSibes and they were key members of our amazing vet team for helping to keep my beloved now Epi-angel Gibson, as well as my other four Huskies healthy!
Also a special shout-out to research specialist Julie Nettifee, RVT, BS, VTS (Neurology) at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine who I have the privilege of working with on Canine Epilepsy awareness through my FiveSibes #LiveGibStrong K-9 Epilepsy Awareness Campaign! Thanks, Julie, for all your research and work on Canine Epilepsy. I look forward to sharing more of your studies!
Do you have a photo from your pet's past that you'd like to
share? Come stroll down Memory Lane with us here at FiveSibes and join
in our Flashback Friday blog hop (we are open all week, so join in any time)! Just post your
pic on your blog, grab our badge from below (yes, that's Gibson & little bro,
pupster Wolfie!) & link to our blog, then join the blog hop below so
others can come visit and see your flashback photos, too! A fun way to
relive past fun times with our pets, present and past, and a great way
to kick off a weekend! (To
see past posts, put "Flashback Friday" in our Search bar at top of
blog). We hope you'll join us for some Friday fun!
A lovely tribute to vet techs everywhere. My granddaughter is studying to be one in Hawaii so this vocation is near and dear to my heart beyond the pawsome care they provide all fur-babies. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.
FiveSibes #Flashback Photo ~ Gibson & His Purple Pumpkin ~ 2014 W oo! Or, should I say Booooo! It's that time of the year when pumpkin hunting and carving is fun thing to do! And, while we are all busy carving and displaying our artworks on the gourds, did you remember to make a purple pumpkin? "Woo! What's in my purple pumpkin? Treats?!" ~Gibson/FiveSibes A Purple pumpkin? What?! If you've been a FiveSibes follower, you know how important the color of purple is to us, and why Purple Pumpkins are a staple here.If you are new to us here at FiveSibes, I initially joined in the Purple Pumpkin Project because we made our pumpkin purple for my Epi-dog Gibson. So, you might be asking yourself, Why was Gibson's pumpkin purple? For Canine Epilepsy Awareness! You can read more about it in our video further down in this post, or by visiting a previous explanatory post HERE. Follow the Purple Pumpkin Project on Facebook! In a pumpkin shell—as m...

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 ...
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...
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...
