#FBF: Love is in the...Treats!

 
FiveSibes #Flashback ~ Harley  ~Valentine's Day 2015 
 
Oh, the month of love...and how did I love thee FiveSibes? SO MUCH! Holidays were always so much fun. See that intent, patient look on our alpha queen Harley's face? She knew that tasty heart cookie was for her! It was part of an order of tasty homemade healthy dog treats from Sassy's Goodies, a female and veteran-owned business in Missouri. (A little trivia: Owner Nanette also created the special Epi-friendly "Gib Nibs" cookies with ingredients friendly for dogs with epilepsy, like my Gibson, who she named them after. Sadly, Gib Nibs are no longer available). Now, our dear Harley wasn't the only Sibe to get treats, naturally, a whole box of yummies I ordered for them, plus a wonderful cake from Nanette!


Now that cake looked pretty yummy, and it arrived it pretty good shape too being shipped across several states! As you can see, everyone was waiting patiently for their Valentine treats...well, everyone except for...


You guess it...good ol' crazy Bandit! Guess she figured hey, it's a treat, that means let's eat! BOL! 
( I mean, she wasn't wrong!)

Oh, memories truly are special.


Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Huskies love treats,
And sharing with you!
~Dorothy Wills-Raftery/FiveSibesMom



  And...speaking of treats...here's a Flashback to one of my FiveSibes' fave recipes —yummy healthy Frozen Berry Yogurt Bites perfect for your furry Valentine. You can whip these up in heart-shaped molds or paws! Bon(e) Appetit!

    That's too bad they still don't have Gibs Nibs. I bet there are plenty of Epi-Dog parents who would like to get them for their buddies. I love the photo of Bandit taking a bit of the cake. Definitely wasn't a shy pup. Harley's eyes on that heart shaped cookie is precious. I bet she was grateful to finally get it. Sounds like you found a great pet bakery. I bet lots of us will be looking at them now. The Fozen Berry Yogurt Bites look like something Henry would love. Your five sibes appeared to have given them their approval. Such a sweet video! Love the photos as always. I'm sharing with all my dog parents. Thanks, Dorothy!

If you've been a FiveSibes follower, you know how important the color of purple is to us, and why Purple Pumpkins are a staple here.If you are new to us here at FiveSibes, I initially joined in the Purple Pumpkin Project because we made our pumpkin purple for my Epi-dog Gibson.

#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...
