For All The Moms - Happy Mother's & Dog Moms Day!

 


Woo! Today is a special #FlashbackFriday as it celebrates Moms of all types! Dog Mom's Day is tomorrow, May 11, and Mother's Day is Sunday, May 12. So this blog post is for all the mommas out there!



I also want to wish my daughter and BFF a very Happy Mother's Day!

I love being a Mom and the forever FiveSibesMom. Being a mom and grandmom is my best role in life!


And...I'm sending a special wish to north of the Rainbow Bridge to our FiveSibes Pack Momma, Harley, the Mother of our Huskies! Always missed, but I take comfort knowing they are all together again...



And a very special Mother's Day poem for #Epi-dogs everywhere written by Epi-angel Shadow Pas De Deux's hu-mom and reprinted in my book, EPIc Dog Tales: Heartfelt Stories About Amazing Dogs Living. Loving Life With Canine Epilepsy.


 




I dedicate this post to my beautiful mother and first best friend who I know is keeping my  FiveSibes company, especially Gibson, who left shortly after my Mom *I believe* to keep her company on her heavenly journey.




Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms, Dog Moms, Foster Moms, Adoptive Moms, Step Moms, Honoray Moms, and GrandMoms!

    I didn’t know there was a Mother’s Day for dog moms! I know some get offended by people claiming to be a pet parent, I think it’s sweet, and have always called myself the collies’ mom!

    I miss my Mum, we used to chat a lot, me in NZ and her in the UK until she passed. She was brave and courageous, like all Moms are.

    I love the poem and your memories of the pups. How amazing they all are.

    Happy Mother's Day

    Lovely tribute to all moms, Dorothy! The poem is very touching. I am certain Gibson felt like he needed to help your mom. What a great pup! I hope you had a beautiful dog mom and mother's day. I'll bet you started each day with a yummy cup of Husky coffee. Cheers (with coffee mugs) to all the moms (of all types) both here and over the rainbow bridge.

#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
