#Flashback Photo ~ March 2017 ~ Pupsters Bandit, Chloe & Wolf and "Mama" Harley   What do you think these four were thinking?! I loved "weekend vibe" with my FiveSibes. They were always eager to start the day. Whether I had their meal, treats, or the back door knob in my hand, they were always all eyes on me! Oh, how I miss that! Now, my weekends are so very different. There is an air of loneliness to this FiveSibesMom's days...I absolutely love being with my grandchildren, but my Sibes are missing. They were such a part of me. Four of them--Harley and pupsters Wolf, Chloe, and Bandit (Gibson had already passed) adored my grandkids. My grandson understands about the Rainbow Bridge, but I explained it in simpler terms to my 2-year-old granddaughter, so now when she looks up to the sky and says, "I miss Woof-Woof (her words for Wolfie). He is high up in the sky. Bye-bye, Woof-Woof," I have all I can do to hold back the tears. As we bereaved pet par...

  Wolfie was happy he had no pesky fleas, ticks, or mosquitos bothering him! 'Tis the season for those pesky fleas and dreadful ticks. When it comes to flea and tick preventatives, there is a whole market full of products for your pets. I have been asked what did I use on my FiveSibes. While I have used traditional preventatives when my FiveSibes were young, having an Epi-dog (dog with Epilepsy) the chemicals in traditional preventatives was always a concern. Fortunately, my Gibson had no issues with our choice of standard flea and tick preventatives. But, as my Huskies grew older, it became more of a concern as Harley developed skin issues along her spine and I did not want to use any of the chemical formulas, and when we were switched to a "newer" product (that begins with a T), our sweet Chloe suffered temporary blindness and Wolfie became so ill he vomited. I reported this to our vet who immediately pulled it from their shelves and reported it (and since there has bee...

Today is Earth Day and it's our #FlashbackFriday Blog Hop! In honor of both, I'm sharing a Flashback photo to a past Earth Day of our alpha queen, Harley, having fun running in the green grass on this planet of ours that we all need to work together to keep healthy for generations to come. "This is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political climate, and how we take action on climate. Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to  preserve and protect our health, our families, and our livelihoods," it states on EarthDay.org. "For Earth Day 2022, we need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably).  It’s going to take all of us. All in. Businesses, governments, and citizens — everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable . A partnership for the planet."   To help do our part again this year, I am sharing a few of our #FiveSibes tips to help reduce your pet's carbon pawprint:   🐾  Walk you dog w...

 The Pupsters, littermates Bandit, Chloe, and Wolfie having some fun snow zoomies with their big brother Gibson. Truly miss these days. I loved how these Sibe siblings were the very best of friends always. Some human siblings could really learn some valuable loyalty lessons from our dogs siblings. ♥︎ Memories are visits for the Heart ♥︎   Joining in the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop!     Back to our Home Page and Don't Forget to Visit Our Other Pages, including Our #LiveGibStrong On-Line K-9 Epilepsy Resource Page.

    Flashback ~ 2021 ~ Pupsters (and Jokesters) Bandit & Wolfie   Oh, my dear Pupsters. This brother and sister team could sure get into a little mischief! All we were missing from this was the third Pupsketeer, Chloe, who sadly and suddenly, left us before this adventure. We had just moved to our new place and exploring was our thing! Now, just what do you think these two were telling secrets about?! Oh, fun times. Sure miss them and their mischief!  And in today's world, I think we all could use something to make us smile.  Hope this brought you one.   ♥︎ Memories are Visits for the Heart. ♥︎         The Linky tool will open all week for you to join us in the Blog Hop and share pics from yesteryear or yesterday, include our badge and *link back to us*, and  be sure to hop along and visit the other blogs and don't forget to leave a nice comment!  Happy Friday!
