Thoughts of Sweet Chloe on Her Rainbow Bridge Anniversary

 

 Flashback ~ Sweet Pupster "Chloe" ~ 2018

It's so hard to believe that our pupster, Chloe, our sweet, always happy, chatterbox of a Husky, has been gone for two years this week. So much here has changed since then, including the loss of Harley and Chloe's sis, Bandit, a move, and a new little human. Chloe was the sweetest. She would not even harm a fly. Seriously. She was also my resident model pup as she was always up for a photoshoot! Like this pic, a good friend, "Auntie Holly" sent this awesome custom FiveSibes snowflake to us one Christmas and I wanted to take a photo. Who was up to pose? Our sweetie was! 

 

She loved my grandson, who just a baby, and food. Oh, Coco Puff and her food! Her internal clock knew exactly when it was breakfast and dinner time, and if she even sniffed a treat, she would woo, and talk, and bark (and yes, some Huskies can bark!) Chloe was actually my daughter's Husky, and helped each other through some difficult times. Sweet Chloe was only three when she went to jump up on the bed and blew out both CCLs (shredded them according to the vet surgeon) and her meniscuses. While she was carried in to the surgeon's, it was nothing short of miraculous to see her walk out on all fours (with help of a sling) post surgery, her tail wagging as always. If you'd like to read about her journey, visit my For the Love of Chloe blog post HERE.

 
Another time, she experienced short-term blindness as a result of a new at-the-time topical flea and tick treatment. Talk about scared! My daughter slept on the floor right next to her all night. Thankfully, she regained her sight 24 hours later. Then, the winter before she passed, she suddenly swelled up by something that must have bit her or something she came in contact with. Again, scary! You can read about What the Heck Happened to Chloe? Beware of Winter Allergies post to see as awareness in case you find yourself faced with a swollen faced dog! Again, our girl rallied! She certainly was a trooper! Losing her that beautiful to acute liver disease that summer day was a shock. She was able to pass peacefully out on the deck, in the breeze, with her brother Wolfie, sister Bandit, and momma Harley all around her. If you'd like to read about her final day, visit Goodbye, Sweet Chloe ~ Love you, CoCo Puff. 

 

Oh, how she is missed...but, a comforting thought if there is any when we suffer loss, is that she is now with most of our FiveSibes pack, Gibson, Harley, and Bandit, running in those forever beautiful snowy fields, north of the Rainbow Bridge, but always and forever in our hearts. I sure do hope they treats there!

This is a photo many of have seen ~ it looks like a beautiful Huskymaking his/her journey on a cloud to the Rainbow Bridge. I wish I knew who the photographer was so I could give credit, but unfortunately, it's "unknown" at this time. But this is exactly how I picture Chloe on her way to meet her family that is already there: Big brother Gibson, "momma" Harley, and littlermate sister, Bandit

    She was so lovely and you loved her so. Those anniversaries hurt a little, but good memories of a life well lived are a gift.

#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...
