Today is National Pet Fire Safety Day a nd an excellent time to go over some safety tips and talk about how to not only keep our pets safe, but also how to keep them safe from starting fires. What is Pet Fire Safety Day? In 2007, The American Kennel Club (AKC) and ADT Security Services joined together and the first Pet Fire Safety Day debuted. This is a very important awareness day to remind us all about having a plan in place for our pets' safety should a fire ever occur, and ways to pet fireproof  your residence. Whether one has five Siberian Huskies like me, or just one pet, I truly believe one of the most important things you can do for your and your pet is to enroll in a Pet CPR and First Aid Course.

   FiveSibes #Flashback ~ July 2016 ~ "Harley" W hen the heat went up, the kiddie pools came out and as soon as the hose turned on, our alpha queen Harley would eagerly jump in and play with the hose spray! She was always the first in the pool! Oh, how she loved it! I'm not sure who enjoyed it more—Harley playing in the water or me watching her play!

W oo! It's summertime! And for many families with kids, it means days filled with swimming in the pool or favorite swimming spot, playing with friends, going to camp, going on vacation with family, and long days filled with play and romping with the family dog! But, some days you may hear the "B" word (bored), so what is a fun project to do with them to keep them occupied and have fun? It's not just for kids - it's a fun project you can do with your dog, too! So, what is it?  Painting with your dog!  Okay, you may be saying, "Excuse me? Dogs can't paint." But I'm here to say, "Yes, they can!" You and/or your kids can have fun painting with. your dog, and also have fun watching your dog paint! Now, of course we always recommend having a parent supervise  children for safety, but I bet everyone will want to join in the fun, too. I sure would! Here at FiveSibes, I've enlisted someone furry special... To help me with this arti...
