A "Sweet 16" Celebration Time Is Here! W oo! Wow! February 23, 2026 marked our FiveSibes16th Blogiversary! My first blog post debuted on February 23, 2010 with my very first post featuring our alpha queen "Harley" and Pet Dental Health. And what a reception I received from fellow bloggers in Blogville! What a terrific place to be and host a blog. We're like family - a "blog-mily" - we have seen each other through the highs of having amazing pets to the lows of losing them. I have made so many wonderful friends here, who also have wonderful blogs of their own. Never did I imagine that I'd still have this blog going strong 16 years later! What a testament to the breed, to writing, and to you, my devoted readers, many who have been here from the very start.

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...
