#FBF: A Siberian Husky Dog's Game of Peek-A-Boo ~and Farewell to a Furry Friend, Lightning

 

 FiveSibes #Flashback ~ Pupsters Wolfie & Bandit ~ 2019

Oh, this needs no words! My sweet, silly pupsters Wolfie and Bandit! This was taken right before they entered a fun game of yard zoomies! I always loved how playful there were together! Now how Wolife thought he was sneaking up on his sister while walking through all the crunchy Maple leaves, I'm not sure! But he gets props for trying!

Oh yes, you were worth it."

We are also joining in Brian's Home "Thankful" blog hop as I am always thankful for the years spent with my amazing, loving, and wonderful FiveSibes.

 

 


 I'm dedicating today's blog post
in Memory of the OP Pack's beautiful boy "Lightning"

 


Sharing our lives with our beautiful dogs is amazing. Losing them is devastating, as so many of us know. Today, we are dedicating our blog post to a longtime dear blogging friend, Kathie of The Chronicle of Woos, whose beautiful boy "Lightning" has now earned his furangel wings. While 13, he looked every bit a puppy with his beautiful white fur. He always reminded me of my Wolfie boy...my heart just breaks for his hu-family and his packmates Timber and Misty. 

So many of us here in Blogville know the OP Pack...and this hits hard. May Lightning arrive north of the Rainbow Bridge on a bolt of lightning, meeting up with his furfamily who journeyed there before him. May he meet up with my FiveSibes, too...and that they are all having some wonderful, pain-free zoomies together in those forever snowy field North of the Rainbow Bridge. 

 

Run free, dear Lightning. You will always be in the hearts of those who loved you. Send your hu-mom a sign or two, letting her know you will always be walking by her side.

    I love that peek a boo video I had to giggle as it is true how could he surprise her with the crinkling of the leaves. I am so sorry to hear about Lightening crossing the Rainbow Bridge and my thoughts and prayers go out to his Mom

#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...
