Got Ice? Smart Husky Says Yes! on a #FlashbackFriday!

Flashback Photo ~ Wolfie ~ August 2012


Siberian Huskies truly are very smart - sometimes too smart for their own good! This Flashback will always be one of my favorites. I recall this day so clearly - and it is now 10 years ago! I was sitting in my living room when I heard the ice dispenser on our fridge. Thinking it was my daughter getting some for a drink, I heard it again. When I went into the kitchen, the above is what I saw - my boy Wolfie helping himself to the ice! Now, I knew Siberian Huskies were smart, but here my boy had seen us getting ice, and decided to help himself! To say I was surprised is putting it mildly! Good thing being a photojournalist, I always had my camera handy to catch him in the act! Now if only he knew how to fill a glass with ice and a drink and bring it to me! BOL!

"The bond between owner and pet is like no other—they're our companions, always along for the ride no matter what ups and downs life brings. They show us joy and make us laugh, and even listen to us like they know exactly what we're saying."

    Oh goodness! I'm so glad you captured Wolfie getting ice. WOW!!! What a smart pup! What a terrific memory! I bet Wolfie was smarter than the average Husky. That is just amazing and I'm sure there's a ton of other amazing feats you can recall he did as well. Thanks for sharing. I'm sharing as well with all my dog parents.

    This is hilarious!! What a smart little Wolfie he was. Such a fabulous photo and memory. It's so true, some Huskies truly are too smart for their own good!

    Haha! My husband's childhood dog used to do the same thing! Dogs can be too smart of their own good sometimes! :)

    LOL I love how clever dogs are. I'm glad I don't have an ice dispenser--I can see the writing on the wall. My dog loves snow and ice--in the winter I used to go and pick icicles off the roof for her :-)

#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...
