Updated April 24, 2024 W hile April is the official National Pet First Aid Awareness Month, every day is a day to be aware of important pet life-saving tips and know what to do in those precious minutes before you can get your pet to the veterinarian.  April is also a good time to check out classes near you where you can become certified in First Aid & CPR for your dog (or cat). I did when I had my FiveSibes. My vet was always on speed-dial, and they accepted texts from (i.e. one morning at 2:30 AM when Gibson was rushed to the ER animal hospital), and I lived close to both my vet office (in my backyard as the crow flew) and near to the ER hospital - however, there are times when it is necessary to know what to do in case of accident, injury, or ingestion of a toxins. As Ben Franklin said, "An ounce of prevention is a worth a pound of cure."   A MUST READ! I'm proud to say my article "The Importance of Pet First Aid & CPR" has been published in 4Knines...

It’s going to take all of us. All in." ~ EarthDay.org   To help do our part again this year, I am resharing a few of our #FiveSibes tips to help reduce your pet's carbon pa...

#FiveSibes #Flashback ~ Littermates #Pupsters sister Bandit & brother Wolf ~ 2020     "Allow your dog to take you for a walk every day.  It's good for the soul."    ~Eckhart Tolle  💚   I remember this day so clearly as we took a lovely backyard walk in our new yard with Pupsters Bandit and Wolfie. They had to be leashed as we did not yet have our fence up. Talk about excited Sibes! They loved exploring all the new sites and smells! I sure do miss these pups and our walks. Time flies, be sure to enjoy all the little moments, for one day they sure do become precious memories. 💚 And speaking of backyards...   My latest article is out in 4Knines, and I talk all about yard safety after the long winter's snow, and a great video on teaching your dog how to exit a pool.
