Christmas Peace
Christmas 2015 Flashback ~ Wolfie
There is a beautiful peace about watching our pets curled up safe, warm, and loved; not just on a holiday evening, but every single day. Our wish is that one day every single homeless pet can rest peacefully in a warm home with a loving forever family.
We here at FiveSibes hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Sweet Sibe dreams!

Wrapped Up in Ribbon on #FlashbackFriday
FiveSibes Christmas Flashback 2015
Our dear sweet pupster Chloe. I don't think there could have been a more kinder, sweeter, oblivious Husky! Chloe was a perpetually happy Husky, always talking with her tail always wagging, her eyes always bright, and I swear that girl was always smiling. Of course, I think she believed a treat was always at the end of a greeting, but regardless, Chloe was our pack's sweetheart. She was also the one that innocently always found herself in mischief or trouble. Always palling around with her brother and sister Wolf and Bandit, she would be the one to get tangled up in something that always left us laughing. Case in point, today's flashback photo...as we were turning around to gather up the ribbons for the tree trimming, this is how we found Chloe! Somehow, she managed to get the curly ribbons twirled all around her. I am writing this with a smile on my face, chuckling at the memory. With feeling sad as this is the first Christmas without her or Harley, it does warm my heart to remember just how silly and sweet that girl was. And when I see the red ribbons on this year's tree, I will always remember that moment with a smile.
"When we recall Christmas past,
we usually find that the simplest things--not the great occasions--give off the greatest
glow of happiness."
~Bob Hope
I sure hope our "CoCo Puff" is having fun running in the snow with Harley and Gibson, chasing some red Christmas ribbons north of that Rainbow Bridge. Her sweet innocence, chattiness, and silliness are so very much missed here, and always will be.

Sponsor a Husky for the Holidays!
Welcome back to our #WaitingWednesday Blog Hop, where we highlight rescues and feature some of their adoptable dogs and dogs waiting for a foster home! While we here at FiveSibes, focus on Siberian Huskies and northern breeds, the Blog Hop is open to ALL breeds and species, and stories of your own adopted pets and where you adopted them from, so I hope you will join in and highlight some rescues near and dear to your heart and hop along with us!
This week, our feature is slightly different...instead of highlighting adotopables, we want to encourage folks who can't adopt yet to consider helping Huskies in shelters and rescues a different way...by sponsoring one! Check with your local or favorite rescue or shelter and see if there is a homeless Husky you can befriend over the holidays and bring it some treats, dog food, a new toy, or maybe the rescue/shelter staff can let you know if the dog needs shampoo, vitamins, heartworm medication, etc. You can also bring lots of joy simply by spending some time with the dog, taking it for a walk, reading it a book, giving a lot of hugs and pets! I bet it will be hard to tell who is happier...the Husky or you! I know, because for several years in a row I sponsored a Husky and loved it! It feels great to share some holiday joy with pet in a shelter. And while we here at FiveSibes focus on Siberian Huskies and northern breed dogs, any shelter animal would appreciate being sponsored and receiving a donation of time and/or gifts!
If you sponsor a Husky this holiday season, send us a pic with your gifts (or you!) and rescue info and we'll share here on our blog and on our FiveSibes: Siberian Husky K9 News & Reviews Facebook page and Twitter to help get your sponsor pup a forever home!
✏️ Please Note: Our FiveSibes #WaitingWednesday will be off for Christmas Day next week! We'll be back next year! Happy Howlidays!

You can also check out Husky rescues by state at RescueMe.org,

to educate others about the Siberian Husky breed's specific needs

loving forever home.

Blog Hop All About?
How You Can Join in Our Weekly "Village" to Help Homeless Pets...

While we here at FiveSibes randomly select rescues to highlight, if
you are with a non-profit rescue of northern breed dogs (and mixes of
both), and want to be sure I feature your rescue, please send me your info and some of your adoptables to highlight
in an upcoming “Waiting Wednesday” post! Feel free to Email info and
photos to FiveSibes(at)gmail(dot)com and put
“Waiting Wednesday Adoptable” in subject line!

Happy Howlidays!

Thoughts of Gibson on His Rainbow Bridge Day
Four years ago today, my heart broke when I lost my furry best friend..my heart dog, Gibson. 💜 We had such a special, deep soul connection that comes along so rarely. He was a true gentle giant, a loving dog, a deep soul. Gib was a true warrior, facing and conquering challenges from his epilepsy with courage and determination, and never diminishing his zest for life. Gibson inspired me to lead a crusade in his name to this very day, including authoring two books and many articles, and becoming the face of dog treats made for dogs with epilepsy, all in an effort to help and educate others about Canine Epilepsy. His love for me, for Harley, for his whole pack family was so true. This boy loved life so much. Forever would not have been long enough to share life with this incredible dog. He truly left his big furry polar bear pawprint forever on my heart. Helen of Troy’s face may have a launched a thousand ships, but Gibson of FiveSibes face launched a worldwide awareness campaign that still gives so many families hope that their beloved Epi-dogs would also #LiveGibStrong. Gibson sure filled this dog mom’s heart with so much love, and so many wonderful memories that will keep him forever alive in my heart.
🌈🐕💖
Love you and miss you, my sweet Gibbie.
Forever and ever.

Snow Globe of Memories on #FlashbackFriday
Flashback Photo: Gibson & Harley ~ my silly "Reindogs"
Christmas 2007
Snow Globe
by Dorothy Wills-Raftery
As the snow flakes gently fall
in glistening memories of yore,
I close my eyes oh-so-tight
wishing for so much more.
O' golden hours of summer
And fall's crisp days aglow
Such wonderful memories we made
Especially in winter's snow.
Time is much akin to snow
arriving in beauty and peace
giving precious moments of joy
before the snow visits cease.
Within that moment of quiet time
encased in our heart's glass dome
The spirit is so brightened
For you are forever home.
