Book Nook Time! FiveSibesMom Published in New Christmas Chicken Soup for the Soul Book!

 


Woo! Wolfie and I are very excited to share the news that my  story "The Perfect Tree" has been published in the soon-to-be-released Chicken Soup for the Soul book, The Blessings of Christmas!

"The Perfect Tree" was inspired by a true event from when I was a teenager and the first Christmas after my father passed, along with my dog, I went out in search of the "perfect tree" to cut down and surprise my mother. You'll have to read the story to find out just how perfect that tree was!

 

 "Royalties from this book benefit Toys For Tots!"

 

I hope you purchase this wonderful book, or consider purchasing one as a gift for a loved one. What's better gift than a book? And a book filled with true inspirational Christmas and holiday (including Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and New Year's) stories! 

Editors at Chicken Soup for the Soul offer this about their new seasonal book: "Prepare to be inspired by these magical tales of giving, gratitude, and kindness. You'll laugh out loud at some stories; others will make you tear up a little. These heartwarming, fun, and inspirational stories will leave you with a smile and enthusiasm for the season that will last all year long!"

This book is also a gift that continues to give as "Royalties from this book benefit Toys For Tots!"

I want to thank Amy Newmark and the entire Chicken Soup for the Soul editorial team not only for selecting my story, but for bringing us such a wonderful book of holiday gems!

I also want to thank all of you, dear readers, for your continued interest and support of all of my writing works! You're the best!


 "The Perfect Tree"

 Not the "perfect" tree from my story, but one of my trees that is pretty close to that one!

 

My friend's beautiful Husky "Mishka" reading the book!



Enjoy the book and my story!

    Congratulations, that's so exciting! I haven't read a Chicken Soup book for a while now, however, I feel like it might be time to give one a try again. Especially holiday themed. Who doesn't love the holidays?

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!

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.

#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...
