Happy Howl-o-ween! K9 & Feline Pumpkin Stencils & #FiveSibes Safety Tips!

 

BooooWooooooo! It's that spooktacular time of  year ~ Howl-o-ween. Today's #FlashbackFriday is a nod to our #FiveSibes Halloweens of the past circa 2011 - 2013, including two pumpkins I used stencils to carve out a Husky on. I think they came out pretty good! Above is our alpha queen "Harley" and next to her in the middle of my family's carved jack o'lanterns, is my running Husky pumpkin. And below with Chloe is my Siberian Husky head. Now, I am not the most creative pumpkin carver, but I sure did have fun. I cannot believe these were 10 years ago now. If you like carving pet images into pumpkins, the Stencil info is below, and the stencil I used for the running Husky is PumpkinGraphic8. I'm also including stencils for our furfriends in of other breeds and our cat pals, too! So be sure to scroll down for links to the pumpkin carving stencils!

 

I have to send a "thank woo" to Tails of the Tundra Siberian Husky Rescue (who have now closed) for sharing their FREE stencils so folks can create their own Siberian Husky pumpkins. I'm sharing below links to get to those stencils in case you and yours would like to carve some. If you like the Husky head above I did, it is the PumpkinGraphic7 (I didn't have enough room for the Woo, so I did just the head). 


Simply click on the image above to go to the TOTTSHR page that has links to all of these stencils!

Five Little Pumpkins
by Unknown

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate;
The first one said, "Oh my it's getting late."
The second one said, "There are witches in the air."
The third one said, "But I don't care."
The fourth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
The fifth one said, "Let's run and run and run."
"Woooo" went the wind,
And out went the lights
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

    What a terrific idea! You did a wonderful job carving a running husky and a husky head! I'm always impressed the creativity of people. I absolutely LOVE the photos of Harley, Chloe, Bandit, and Gibson! So adorable! Your tips, as always, are truly spot-on. It boggles my mind when people take their dogs trick or treating and think it's funny when their poor dog is frightened by the scary noises or outfits. I'm sharing your article with all my dog parents and I hope they take your tips to heart.

#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 below photo

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 his w

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

Preparing Your Epi-Dog For The Solar Eclipse

Image
Article Updated 04/04/2024   T here is a lot of buzz about the upcoming solar eclipse, especially for folks who are in the path of totality. No matter where you live, if you plan on watching the solar eclipse, aside from protecting your eyes from “eclipse blindness” with special American Astronomical Society approved eclipse glasses, but did you know that the eclipse could have an affect on your Epi-dog (epileptic dog)? With the simulation of “night” as the sun is covered by the moon, animals may go into a nocturnal mode, or seem restless or confused, while others, will be unfazed. However, the excitement of the eclipse by humans could create excitement in our dogs, whether they have epilepsy or not, as they pick up on our energy and moods. The same as with non-epileptic dogs, if there is a lot of noise, whistling, clapping, or fireworks to celebrate, dogs could be frightened and attempt to escape. As with any loud or stressful holiday or event, be sure to have your pets se
