FiveSibes #Flashback ~ 2015 ~ "Bandit Welcoming in the month of May with a little spring exercise! Our pupster Bandit sure could do a good "downward dog" doga pose! Somehow doing exercise, or anything really, with a our furry best friends makes it all the more fun, don't you think? Bee always dreamed of being alpha, but since she couldn't ( because Harley was always the reigning queen alpha, but Bee was definitely her forever understudy ), becoming a doga teacher seemed like a perfect fit! (Even if she really was just stretching her way out of the chair)!  "The greatest story on Earth is the one you share with your dog." ~Unknown      JOIN US  for our weekly #FlashbackFriday Blog & Social Media Hop!   The Linky tool below for the Blog Hop will open all week for you to join us and share pics from yesteryear or yesterday!

#Flashback ~ FiveSibes ~ 2012-2019  T his is a fun and nostalgic flashback…the editor/publisher at AmericanPet Magazine just sent me the above pictured hard copies of a few of the issues of her magazine that my articles were published in. I'm proud to say that my writing and photography is in 19 out of 20 issues beginning with Issue #2 ( the only issue my writing isn't in is Issue #1 ) - and eventually I was named co-editor of the magazine! Such a great mag. I was sorry to see it come to a close.

Did You Know...? "The average carbon footprint for a person in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest rates in the world. Globally, the average carbon footprint is closer to 4 tons!" States The Nature Conservancy, adding, "To have the best chanc...
