When I Was Quoted About Fostering Huskies

 


 #Flashback ~ 2014/2015 ~ Harley & My Quote & Best in Print Award ~ Featured in AmericanPet Magazine

 

It's funny, looking back over photos and published articles, and things I enjoyed with my dogs for my weekly #FlashbackFridays...while I remember every moment spent with them, this one hits a little different now a decade later. I came across this image above in an issue of AmericanPet Magazine, which I loved to write to for and do miss this magazine as it is on an indefinite hiatus. My photo of Harley with the then-newly released book Getting Healthy With Harley was featured in the magazine, and my quote was also highlighted! And then, my book being named "Best in Print!" Huge honor. Seeing it now...almost 10 years later...I feel proud of that book, which I just recently read to my grandson's class because he said it was his "favorite book!" Oh, how that touched my heart! 🥰 And then, to have a quote of mine highlighted by the publisher/editor, Suzin Karp, how wonderful! My words, even a decade later, still ring true. Foster parents ARE so needed and they hold an important role in rescue. Fosters do a wonderful, much-needed service. Foster parents allow for that dog to come out of rescue and live with their family, helping the dog and giving the rescue an open spot to rescue another Husky in need. That's also why I donate/d this book and/or a portion of sales to the Save Our Siberians Syberspace Rescue Fund. (You can read more about this phenomenal organization at: http://www.sos-srf.org/).

 

If you'd like to purchase Getting Healthy With Harley, visit my ArcticHouse Books & Gift Shoppe here on my blogsite by clicking on the bookstore image above! (Amazon is out of stock).

And, again, the fact that I was quoted in the magazine definitely ranks up there with "pretty cool."

    Fostering has been quite the amazing experience...although I will note, I failed at the foster part. Still, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Fostering is a commitment to saving a life and I was glad to make that commitment.

    Fostering is life saving, I just wish more people did it. What I have found interesting now that I'm fostering again after losing Jack is how few people have ever heard of it, never mind know what it's all about. I've been doing a lot of educating lately as I walk around with my newest foster Milo.

    People need to know by fostering you make room for a rescue to take in another pup (or a kitty). This is SO important!

    I love seeing your memories. I discovered a flash drive this week with old photos from 2015 of Harvey and others. Of course I need to show them off too.

    In my eyes fosterers are angels, the way they work with the dogs, teaching them love and so much more amazes me every time. I would never be able to let them go and would be a failure for definite. You amaze me as to how much you have had publishes and being in a magazine congratulations, you deserve it all plus so much more.

#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
