The OGs of FiveSibes ~ Gibson & Harley ~ 2007     "A photograph is the pause button of life." ~Unknown    O h, how many times I hit that pause button of life spent with these amazing dogs. Some days, it is still so surreal that they are no longer here...no more pawprints thundering down the hall, no more beauties hogging up the sofa and chair...no more beautiful, out-of-tune Husky howls...no more excited greetings upon returning home...it all was so amazingly wonderful. Since we are wrapping up the month of May, with Mother's Day past and Father's Day right around the corner, I thought it would be fitting to honor the two who started it all and had me fall in love with breed! (All thanks to my daughter)! Today's flashback pauses yet another moment vividly in mind. Our "OGs," the Originals of our FiveSibes pack family—Harley, just two-years-old, and Gibson, a one-year-old pup, had just been groomed and were sporting their flashy bright bandanas....

My photo painting of "Wolfie" with his furpal "Arlo" ~ 2021   I 'm happy to bring news to you on this FiveSibes Newsy Tuesday of a new dog food I recently had the opportunity to review. In exchange for a five-pound bag of CUDDLY's new Salmon and Rice Dog Kibble, I gave them my honest review. Since my FiveSibes have all earned their wings, I called upon a friend's dog, "Arlo," who met my Wolfie in 2020 when Arlo was just a pup and my boy was 12.    Let me introduce you to handsome Arlo! He is an 85-pound, four-year-old Boxer. His hu-mom Cassandra, was kind enough to loan him to me to do some taste testing, and Arlo was eager to participate! Arlo occasionally comes down to visit me at my house, and I always have a container of treats just for him! So, I knew he'd be a perfect taste tester for this new dog food!   "Woof! Taste food? I'm on the case!" says Arlo!     I'm pleased to say that my review has been published on Petfu...
