Christmas in July: Sibe Kisses for Santa on a #FlashbackFriday!

  

FiveSibes Flashback ~ Christmas 2013 ~ (Santa, Harley, Bandit, Gibson, Chloe & Wolfie)

 

Welcome to Merry Christmas in July, FiveSibes #FlashbackFriday style! Oh, how my fab five loved hanging out in our house with "Santa Paws" when she came for a visit! You can see the excitement and joy in their faces, and oh, the Sibe kisses Santa received were wondrous! as you can see, they all were so thrilled for the home visit, with them all giving her a good ol' sniff or three! Even Chloe, our shy girl, (right pic)  made herself right at home in Santa's lap, giving her lots and lots of kisses! 

Now...a little pop quiz...in the photo on the left, can you find our Harley?!

In case you missed our video of this fun howliday visit, here it is!


 

 So, who's now in the mood for snow or some holiday baking? After all, Christmas is only 159 days from today!

    Oh my! Christmas in July! You're so on top of it with your flashbacks. I can't believe Christmas is 6 months away. Where has the time gone? How fun to have Santa Paws visit your home! I bet Henry would love that as well. You need to follow-up with pointing out where Harley is in the photo. I'm not sure if I can see her. As always, I LOVE your flashbacks. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. I'm sharing with all my dog parents to brighten their day as well.

    This is just what I needed in our insane heatwave here over over 100 and often over 110 for the last several weeks! Thanks for the thoughts of snow!

#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...
