Flashback ~ A Decade Ago ~ Gibson   I think of all of my FiveSibes all the time. And my heart dog, Gibson, my inspiration, my hero dog, my partner in Canine Epilepsy awareness advocacy--I feel is always by my side. During the month of November for Epilepsy Awareness Month and March for Purple Day, even more so. Here I am, all these years later, still behind the keyboard, but this is what I imagine. In my mind's eye, I am reaching over with my foot and rubbing Gibbie's soft wooly fur, or reaching down and patting his velvety smooth head as I write. And that feeling, of pure contentment knowing he, and my other four laying nearby, were all safe and with me, is something I surely miss, but will always cherish. You may longer be by my side, but you are always and forever in my heart.     🧡 Memories Are Visits For The Heart 🧡   The Linky tool will open all week for you to join us in the Blog Hop and share pics from yesteryear or yesterday, include our badge and *lin...

 My gorgeous wooly boys,  brothers Gibson and Wolfgang Today is Gibson's 6th Rainbow Bridge anniversary . He is now reunited with his whole FiveSibes pack family. Pictured here is one of my favorite photos I shot of my boys together. Oh, how Gibson loved snow! He would lay outside upside down with his "parts" the heavens just to feel the coolness of fresh falling snow. A true snow dog, I know he is loving running free and eating all the snow he desires...with his little brother Wolfgang right by his side. With Wolfie having just journeyed to north of the Rainbow Bridge on December 4th, I thought it was fitting to remember my beautiful wooly boys, now together forever, with the other three running right beside them.

  #Flashback Photos ~ 2014 ~ Why is Gibson's Pumpkin Purple?     This is a special #FlashbackFriday with Halloween right around the corner and folks busy going pumpkin picking and carving...don't forget to do one up in purple!   Why IS Gibson's Pumpkin Purple?    For K-9 Epilepsy Awareness "Hmm...what's in my pumpkin?" ~ Gibson   Each year, Gibson’s pumpkin was purple because he was an Epi-dog ~ a dog with Canine Epilepsy. And his form of epilepsy was called idiopathic, meaning they could never determine a specific cause for the onset of his seizures. And, purple is the color of epilepsy awareness. Gibson was living proof that Epi-dogs CAN ~ and DO ~ live full, happy lives!
