A New Purple Pumpkin in Our #LiveGibStrong Patch!

A s an ambassador for awareness for dogs living with epilepsy (Epi-dogs) since 2012, I love to look for a purple pumpkin this time of year in honor of my Gibson and all other Epi-dogs. And, wow! Did I find a beauty! (The crystal pumpkin is lying by my beautiful Siberian Husky lamp that was a gift to me from my hubby years ago. Sorry, it's been discontinued!)  

Why is a purple pumpkin so important? Because purple is the color of epilepsy awareness, and on Halloween when you see a purple pumpkin, it's most likely a participant in the Epilepsy Foundations "Purple Pumpkin Project." You can read all about the Project - and download a FREE Gibson & his purple pumpkin coloring page HERE.

I am so impressed by this beautiful handmade crystal pumpkin by H&D (Hyaline & Dora)! And the packaging was so good and it was well protected and secured with lots of foam padding, and arrived in perfect condition. Shipping was fast, too!

I had actually kept it in my cart and kept going back to it as I wasn't sure if it was too small, or high quality, and I'm so glad I hit the button to purchase! It is wonderful to put out on a desk or dresser, or in a curio cabinet. Made very well and not weak or flimsy at all. Now, the crystal stem is sturdy, but be careful not to pull it out of the box by the stem because glass can break. Mine was perfect! The packaging was wonderful and kept it very safe. I highly recommend!

    The purple pumpkin is really so very pretty. And with one of our Angels having had epilepsy, we love the connection. Happy Sunday.

#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
