One of my all time fun photos of my silly boy, Gibson! He loved to roll in the leaves and in the snow...and with his wooly fur, the leaves typically stuck to him! But he didn't mind! He would roll around and play in the leaves like a fuzzy puppy! A great message for all of us - no matter our age - just take time to stop and play in the leaves! Thanks, Gib! 🍂🧡🍁     Today also happens to be...

I ' m very honored to have my latest book,   Wolfie, What Is The Rainbow Bridge? l isted as a recommended read by the  Association of Pet Loss and Bereavement (APLB).    "You will find books that cater to all age groups and backgrounds, as well as professional and educational works." ~Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement (APLB) I f you're not familiar with this supportive bereavement organization for pet parents, let me tell you a little about them. What is the APLB?  The APLB was formed in October 1997 by Dr. Wallace Sife, and became a non-profit organization in 1999. According to APLB.org, Dr. Sife "Set up the APLB after losing his beloved miniature dachshund, Edel Meister in 1987. He was devastated and found his training as a psychologist of little help. Several years later. Dr. Sife created and established a practical model for the stages of grieving unique to pet loss derived and modified from the work of Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross on human...

   FiveSibes #Flashback ~ "Harley" Our Mother of Huskies ~ 2016   Today's #FlashbackFriday is in honor of beautiful alpha Queen "Harley" ~ the "Mother" of our Huskies.

It was her time, past her time, but after two placed and cancelled phone calls to the vet, the date was set. Our vet came to our home, where Harley took one last zoomie lap around the yard, gave each of the remaining Pupsters  Wolfie and Bandit  a nose nudge (with Harley, it was always more of a jab!), then laid down on her bed, tearfully hugged by my daughter and me, as she peacefully made her journey to north of the Rainbow Bridge...
