Goodbye Pool Days; Hello School Daze

   FiveSibes Flashback ~ Bandit ~ Summer 2015
 
Summer should get a speeding ticket for going by way too fast. While I do love the other seasons, and when I had my beloved FiveSibes, summer was a tough one since they looooove the cold, but oh, boy, when I brought out their kiddie pools, it was crazy, wet, splashing shenanigans! Our back deck became a wet speedway where they would zoomie through the pools, down the ramp, all around the yard, back up the ramp, and through the pools, and repeat! Add in some loud splashes and great fun howling, grrrrrring sounds, and summer was truly a blast as they enjoyed the great outdoors while beating the heat (before it was back in for snoozes in the a/c)!
 
I actually toiled over which topic to write about today as this month marked a bunch of fun posts, but I decided on this beautiful shot of our "Bee" girl soaking up the cool water in the pool. It's also that time of year when the kids go back to school, but since I shared my infographic on the FiveSibes: Siberian Husky K9 News & Reviews Facebook page and on our Instagram (@FiveSibesMom) page, I thought I'd make this post all about one of those perfect summer pool days, ahead of the school "daze" when our pets really miss the laid back family-filled day.

We hope all the kids and the doggies who patiently wait for them all day have a wonderful and safe school year.  
 
(Please watch your dogs when those school buses come by!)
 
 
And while we prepare to bid a fond adieu to August and look ahead to September, there is a short period of time this month when the hot sunny summer days still linger on a bit before the cooler autumn ones, we hope you and your dogs enjoy a few more pool days before the school days (or daze)!
What is your pet's favorite summer

    What a fun memory of your fivesibes splashing in the kiddie pool on your deck! Bandit certainly looked like she loved every moment! The summer temperatures are rough (or ruff) on Henry too. Actually, any temp more than what feels like "cold" to me is too hot for Henry. He'll go outside for a couple of minutes and quickly get overheated. I'm glad I have a few cooling vests for him. I do like fall a lot better than summer. Well, except for the shorter days. I think Henry favors winters like your pack. He loves being outside late into the evening in the summer. Crazy how fast time goes by as an adult and as a kid it feels like time stands still. That should be reversed. Such a beautiful flashback. It made me smile. Henry and I are sending you pumpkin hugs.

    Oh, I'll bet the pools were the scene of so much fun! It sounds like something I'd like to do some time on these hot days.

    My husky also loves pool days! Love the tips on the infographic to help your pup with the transition to school days. It's an adjustment for everyone 😊

#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
