A Siberian Husky Birthday Cake Surprise!


 "A memory is a photograph taken by the heart to make a special moment last forever.” ~Unknown
 #FiveSibes Flashback ~ Gibson ~ September 2015
 Woo! Today's FiveSibes #FlashbackFriday is a very special one. Since yesterday was my birthday, today's flashback is one of me and my heart dog, Gibson. Isn't it funny how so many different emotions are attached to a memory and a photo? I still get all the mixed feels from this one. That particular birthday, I was so surprised when my family presented this pictured cake to me with my Gibson's portrait on it! So, naturally, I had to share a little with him! (He really liked his lick of whip cream!)

 "Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It's all about the memories." ~BuddyValastro
 
In hindsight, this was so special because this wound up being the last birthday of mine that Gibson was here to celebrate. Almost three years later, my Gib would earn his wings. I am so glad there are pics of this particular cake and moment shared with my boy, and now, they hold an even more special meaning. I hope you enjoy this pic from nine years ago...when I was younger (!) and Gibson was more than excited to taste that cake!

 

 
Special Request:
For my birthday month, I am hosting a fundraiser on Facebook for Save Our Siberians-Siberspace Rescue Fund (SOS-SRF). The SOS-SRF is an organization which raises and disburses funds to assist Siberian Husky rescue groups and individuals with non-routine expenses incurred for rescue dogs. This might include paying for heartworm treatment or making a contribution towards major surgery or multiple medical expenses. It really helps the rescues help Huskies in medical need. If you are able to donate any amount, it would be greatly appreciated. You can click on the image below, and it will take you directly to fundraiser, which ends on September 30th.

    That was a very sweet cake! I’d have to say that was the prettiest way to decorate a cake!

#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
