A Furangel's New Year's Surprise Sign From the Rainbow Bridge



My sweet #FiveSibes baby boy, Wolfgang "Wolfie"White Wolf of Mystic Mountain
#Flashback ~ December 31, 2020

 

You've heard me share stories in the past of some wonderful signs my now beloved furangels have sent me...

❄️ Gibson showing up as a rainbow flare in the middle of his pack family in my kitchen on his first birthday after he earned his wings; 

❄️ Snow arriving whenever one of my Sibes earned their wings (like Bandit's) or on their birthdays and Rainbow Bridge anniversaries; 

❄️ Their figures appearing amongst the clouds when I was thinking of them, especially Harley and Wolfie;

❄️ A foodie ghost howl and phantom paw push from our sweet food-loving chatty Chloe;

❄️ A McDonald's drive-through sign blacking out a little over week after Bandit earned her wings and a huge rainbow four-sided (four Sibes) X (for a kiss) appeared after we lost our fourth Sibe, Bandit. You HAVE to click above and see this one!!! And;

❄️ Then a big snow squall the day Wolfie made his journey to the Rainbow Bridge, followed by another when his ashes and pawprint came home on the Winter Solstice that year.

❄️ Snow has become synonymous with. my FiveSibes and I even have a snow ornament for Wolfie, a crystal one for my FiveSibes, and a bracelet with snowflakes representing them all, all of my beloved snow dogs.

Oh, yes, my beloved furkids have all sent me such clear signs.

"The past beats inside of me like a second heart." ~John Banville

Then, came today, New Year's Day. In between scattered snow flurries and clearing skies that resembled a painting, the sun peered through our trees and it just looked beautiful as I drove up my driveway. I stepped out of Jeep with my cell phone and took some photos. When I came inside and looked at them, my heart swelled. Here is what I saw....

Photo 1: Hello, Sun, peeking through the paintbrush style clouds. But then I noticed something!....do you?


Do you see the rainbow light smear in the clouds to the left? And to the right, in the blue, a possible formation of a running dog? (To the right, just for placement, is my rooftop. The same sky you see my flashback photo of Wolfie standing under in my top photo).

Photo 2: Then, I look at the next photo and again my heart squeezed as I was filled with wonder...what do YOU see now that appeared in the rainbow cloud?


Do you also see the figure of a running white Husky appearing through the rainbow light in the cloud, toward the left heading toward the blue sky? I sure do!

For reference, this is a pic of Wolfie running...only imagine him running up a hill (or over a cloud?)...

Now I know sometimes our eyes can see what our hearts miss, and I had not seen this with my naked eye as I was just shooting a beautiful nature scene until I reviewed the pics...but, oh dear dog, I know in my heart that was my Wolfie boy letting me know he is still with me, tailgating the rest of my pack up there. What a surprise New Year's gift sent from the Rainbow Bridge!

January is also the birthmonth for Gibson (January 6th) and the Pupsters Wolfie, Chloe & Bandit (January 19th).

And yet another factoid...today, New Year's Day, it was reported by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that a, "G3 storm reached on New Year's Day of 2025! The second (one) arrived overnight and welcomed New Year’s Day in with a geomagnetic storm!" These geometric storms are also what brings the Northern Lights closer to our area.

So, to recap, here—on New Year's Day, the first day of January and the birth month of Wolfie, Chloe, Bandit, and Gib—is a sign literally painted in the clouds over our house zooming in a rainbow light-filled cloud, with the Northern Lights reaching us during a solar flare, in a photo I took for a totally different purpose, and wound up capturing this at the precise right moment?

Coincidence?
I dare say not. 
Serendipitous?
You bet! 
Yet another sign from my Forever FiveSibes.
I BELIEVE.
Do you?

 

What a wonderful way to welcome in 2025 
for this FiveSibesMom!

Thanks, my sweet boy. đź’™

Unseen, unheard, but always near
Still love, still missed and very dear."

    That's awesome! I love when our fur angels send us signs that they're still around us. <3

    We see and hear those we lost mainly the months right after they pass. As Mom gets better with dealing with the loss the signs are not so prevalent. They still make Mom cry a lot when we get them from Madison but it is also comforting to know she is there. If one looks, one will see the signs sent from those we have lost.

    That is just amazing - we see it all too. Sometimes we see what we need too.

    It's been over a year since Rocco passed, but for a long time we would put out three bowls to feed 3 dogs (down from 4) yet somehow, mysteriously, we always ended up picking up 4. Perhaps it was a sign that he was still with us, or perhaps we somehow forgot to pick up a bowl and then found it later.

    I know they are still with us. I swear I see our Angel Little Bit often. Hubby does too.

    Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous day and weekend. ♥

#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...
