Huskies' Pool Zoomies on a #FlashbackFriday

 #FiveSibes Flashback ~ 2012

I was so thrilled to come across this video (see below) of my beloved FiveSibes having a splashing good time and pool zoomies from 12 years ago! Boy, it sure feels like yesterday in my mind and in my heart. It's always a joy to find or come across some footage or photos that I haven't seen for awhile, and boy, they take me right back!

If you read last week's #FlashbackFriday post, I mentioned how they loved the pools and zoomies and would grumble, talk, and have a blast. Well, now you can see and hear it all firsthand! Oh, how their sounds tug at my heart. And...I wasn't done filling the pool up yet! But as soon as that pool and hose come out, they knew funtime was about to begin! Tell me, isn't this the best, watching dogs so full of joy and just having a blast together?!
 
 
 
While I decided to have a little fun and add text of what I think they may have been saying, I just love listening to them in this video. While Gibson was first in the pool, Harley was uber excited! Bandit enjoyed jumping in, while Wolfie was a tad skeptical. And...if you'll notice, dear sweet Chloe was down below in the field far away from all the water shenanigans...she was not a fan of the pool!  
 
Oh, and there will be a Pop Quiz at the end of this post!
 

 
 Hope you enjoy watching this as much as I did reliving it again!

    Gibson was the first!

    Your love for your huskies is still so evident. Do you think you will ever get another one?

      You are 100% right! (On both accounts!) My fluffy boy, Gibson, so loved the pool and always first in. So many times he'd be waiting in it even before the water! My heart is still, and always will be, full of so much love for them. I hope to again one day. It may be a "grandpup" as my situation and health has changed, but I'll enjoy having one again when my daughter gets a dog!

      So glad you enjoyed it! And I love that "spin-a-rama!" Reminds me of the boardwalk ride from my childhood, and it sure did spin, just like Harley's zoomies!

    Oh wow, this video is a blast! I loved it. My Husky Icy only likes to dip her paws in the water - and only the ocean or a river/creek/lake but she hated our pool in Phoenix! I'll try to get the questions right: I think Gibson was first in the pool. I think Bandit ran in circles (that made me LAUGH - so cute!!). Wolfie wanted nothing to do w/ the pool. Harley wanted to join in the pool fun. I think it was Chloe who wasn't sure about it all. Fun quiz!

      Thank you! Every time I'd fill up the pools, they'd get excited even before the water went in. Well...Chloe would run off the deck and wanted no part of it! And Wolfie would dip his paws in and that was pretty much it. It's funny Icy loved the ocean or seas and lakes, but no pool! Maybe it was the sound? You are so right - it was indeed Gibson first in! You were close - it was Harley doing the spinning zoomies! But Bandit always wanted to be her, BOL! Bandit dipped in, too and Chloe avoided it at all costs! Thanks for playing along with the quiz! Hugs to Icy!

    What a super fun discover! I LOVE your flashbacks and this is one of the best. They always make me smile.

    Great idea with the pop quiz. Let's see here are my answers:
    1. Gibson, of course
    2. Harley, she reminds me of Henry with turning circles
    3. Chloe was far away from the water in the grass, which would be Henry, unless he thought he would be missing out
    4. Bandit joined in the pool fun
    5. Wolfie needed to warm up to the pool idea

    Great post again, Dorothy! I'm sharing the fun with all my dog parents. Thanks for the smiles!

#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
