Well, today's #FlashbackFriday is a bit different...yes, I'm highlighting a fond memory photo above...but...we're all excited because my FiveSibes Jr. Tale,  Wolfie, What is the   Rainbow  Bridge?  that I wrote with my young grandson, just received another award!

#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. The final issue was published in 2019, but you can still read the digital issues for free until the end of the year by clicking below and picking the issue(s) you'd like to read!  My stories, while many were about Siberian Huskies, many others covered a wide range of topics, including: Every Picture Tells A Story Pet Photography;  Various articles on Canine Epilepsy;  It Takes a Village to Help Huskies in Need;  Take Your Dog To Work Day;  Horse book author r...

  FiveSibes #Flashback ~ April 2011 ~ Harley, Wolfie, and Bandit   OH, MY DOGS! If looks could talk! Well, they sure did in this moment! I always loved when my FiveSibes would rush across the deck to greet me when I came home. However, these were the looks I received one day from Harley, Wolfie, and Bandit when I dared to leave for a quick errand! Good thing I brought treats home so all was quickly forgiven.

  FiveSibes Easter #Flashback ~ April 2015 ~ "Gibson" in back;  l-r "Bandit," "Harley," "Chloe," and "Wolfie"   Oh, treats! I don't think there was a more welcoming sound to my my FiveSibes' ears than that of a treat bag being opened! Here, I had just received my order of Sassy's Goodies homemade treats and pulled one of the cute bunny cookies out, and my five were so patiently waiting in anticipation of that first bite! Oh, happy memories!        "You can't buy happiness, but you can give your dog a treat, which is pretty close." ~Unknown   đź©·   Memories Are Visits For The Heart     đź’™   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!

FBF: Gibson, Portrait of a Snow Dog

Image
  FiveSibes #Flashback ~ December 2014 ~ "Gibson"   I t may be the first day of spring, but we're still having snow! Which brings me to remembering my FiveSibes and how much they loved snow!  Oh, how bittersweet. Sweet for all the beautiful moments they were, yet bitter when those we love are no longer here to make more memories.    I had snapped of my beautiful boy, Gibson, enjoying the snow as he always did in our yard. With his wooly fur, this boy was never cold! Oh, how he loved to zoomie around with my other FiveSibes, but then he'd plop down in a bed of soft white snow and enjoy simply watching his furfamily of Harley and the pupsters--his little bro Wolfie, and sisters Chloe and Bandit--as they ran around him, kicking up snow. Gibson was an old soul. He was watchful, caring, loving, and wise.    I just love this photograph of him so happy in his element. It's the first time I'm sharing it, too. This is exactly how I picture him now--north of the...
