#FBF: Dog Memories Are Bubbles in Time


FiveSibes #Flashback ~ 2020 ~ Wolfie & Bandit


"Life is a bubble in the ocean of time." 
 ~Dr. Debasish Mridha 

When we sold our home of over 30 years and relocated out of the area in 2020, we had just two of our five beloved Huskies left-- pupsters "Wolfie" and sister "Bandit" (a/k/a "Bee"). At first I was concerned how they were going to adjust to a new place after having our Husky-proofed, fenced-in fabulous yard that was designed by my husband just for our FiveSibes, which included two yards (one for free roaming and digging) and the other for running and having zoomies to their hearts content; a giant roof covered deck, complete with two pools, for them sit up and watch the world beneath them. 

Our new place did not yet have a fence, nor a deck....but they adjusted so well! I did have to go back to having them on a leash as opposed to them being used to running free in our enclosed yard of the previous house. For exercise, I opted for a much longer horse lunge line, which for being "free" Huskies at our other property, they adjusted to quite well. They were seniors by this point, and had slowed down a bit (just a bit!) and were way more interested in all of the new sights and smells in our new neighborhood, so being leashed worked out great. Now we did go for leash walks where we previously lived, and they were all trained for leashes, but due to them having the run of our old yard is what worried me about them now always being on a leash until our new yard could be done. BUT...if I could go back in time I'd tell the then-me not to worry so much that all will work out fine just as long as we're all together.

Our new yard had not yet been planted, so it was mainly dirt, but for Huskies, that made it a giant fun "sandbox" to dig in! The Pupsters enjoyed all the walks and romps with our grandkids, while sniffing and marking their new territory. 

Bubbles was a favorite past time for my grandchildren (who doesn't love bubbles?!) and the Pupsters enjoyed those as well! Basically, they were just happy to be wherever we were, and together we created a whole bunch of new memories. And as long as the dogs are loved and cared for and with the family they love and grew up with, *they will be happy.* My beloved dogs have always been a part of our family. All those memories with mine are now all precious visits for my heart, especially now that they have all earned their furangel wings. I will miss them every single day for always.

Today's quote is perfect...life is indeed but a bubble in the vast ocean of time. So enjoy all those bubbles and memories of your beloved pets, for time goes by so quickly, it should get a speeding ticket.

    I'm so glad it worked out well in the new yard. Everyone loves bubbles and it looks like your sweet dogs were happy to just be chasing them down while the grandchildren blew them, a winning combo.

    Moving can be such a huge adjustment for dogs. But sounds like yours did just fine!

    Hope our post was ok to add…while the post isn’t a flashback, the links within the post definitely are! Happy Friday!

#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...
