Woo! So thrilled to hear that in closing out 2025, this FiveSibes blog has been ranked #1 Husky Blog for 2025 by Feedspot!   While FiveSibes has topped their list consecutively this year, wrapping up the year as #1 is a thrill. I think my FiveSibes would be wooing in joy.    As a career photojournalist, I began this blog back in February 2010 to begin journaling and sharing life with my five gorgeous, fun-loving, amazing Siberian Huskies (a/k/a FiveSibes): Harley our alpha queen, Gibson my fluffy big epileptic wooly boy who was in love with Harley; and Gibson's younger siblings little brother Wolfie, and his sisters Bandit and Chloe. Sharing life with these five amazing dogs was such an honor and so much fun. Yes, there were many trials and tribulations--especially when Gibson began having seizures and Chloe blew out both CCLs at once, followed by Wolfie blowing out his. Yes, we did have four CCL surgeries and yes, Chloe was carried in the surgeon's as both o...

This year's featured rescue Huskies who could all use a little "Elf" magic this howliday season. See all five Husky Rescues in this post and maybe you can play Elf! ‘Tis the season to help homeless Siberian Huskies in need! As we've all seen, there is a serious problem of Huskies and northern breed dogs being "surrendered," or worse, abandoned, some ill and injured, and their only hope is that rescue folks will be able to save them. Due to the tremendous number of them being abandoned by what they thought were their forever families, rescues are filled beyond capacity, some have closed intakes, while others are hoping more fosters step forward to help give them temporary homes until a forever one can be found. Without them, these beautiful dogs have zero chance. They are a magnanimous breed that need exercise, socialization, interaction, and love. A shelter is no place for any dog, especially this breed. And there are just too many now who are w...

  FiveSibes #Flashback ~ "Wolfie" ~ December 2020   “Time cannot be packaged and ribboned and left under trees for Christmas morning. Time can’t be given. But it can be shared.” ~Cecelia Ahern     Little did I know this would be our last Christmas with Wolfie. Although the following year he was here up until December 6th, the day he left for the Rainbow Bridge, we did get to do photos with a Christmas theme, go out in the snow, and just be. It's so bittersweet to have lost him...and 10 years ago his big bro Gibson...both during the holiday season. But I try to remember the precious moments, the fun moments...of how much they loved the Christmas season. And that is the feelings I carry in my heart, especially when Christmastime is near.   So take those photos.  Play in the snow.  Decorate the tree.  Wrap gifts.  Bake doggy cookies. Nap under the tree together.  Love. Laugh. Live. For those precious times spent together will one day become...
