In celebration of World Book Day and Copyright Day, as an author I am taking this time to say, "Go read a book!" And if it happens to be one of mine, that's even better! Below is a list of my K9 books, and the links to purchase them (via PayPal or Amazon) to add to your library! All of my canine books I am proud to say have a portion of sales donated to help either Siberian Huskies in need or Canine Epilepsy organizations (the benefactors are listed on the back cover of the books).  World Book and Copyright Day also is a time for all authors, writers, photojournalists, and publishers to join together in the mission of the day, "Promoting, reading, publishing, and the protection of intellectual property through copyright." Sharing our work is important to each of us, the essence of what we do as writers, photographers, artists, and publishers. And just as important as it is to encourage others to read and share our work, it is even more important for other...

My beloved Gibson is there. As is my Chelsey, Sandy, kitty Smokie, bunny Sunny, my fox Ah, many horses, and so many others pets. We have many furfriends who have also crossed The Rainbow Bridge. All of these beloved animals are there...so healthy and happy, with all the dogs enjoying their zoomies and playing Fetch all day in a land that is eternally beautiful. Sounds perfect.

So while they are in a place where the spirit soars, our hearts are broken as we are missing them here with us. It is a hurt we all as pet parents now way too well.  And today, as unbelievable as it seems as I write this, we have to bid a final farewell to another dear furpal, Buddy, the Christmas Husky , who has now earned h...

Meeting Buddy, the Christmas Husky! This Flashback Friday is an exciting one! As many of you know, one of the books I've written is based on the true story of a sick, abused and abandoned Siberian Husky who was rescued on Christmas morning back in 2011 as he wandered out onto a road and right into the path of oncoming traffic. He was dubbed "The Christmas Husky" because it was on Christmas Day and through the help of a Good Samaritan named Geneva, this boy (who was named Buddy), was quite literally saved and , with the help of online "Team Buddy," embarked upon a new journey that brought him to his foster mom states away and filled his life with much hope, love, and happiness from across the world, that still continues to this very day!  His is a tale for all time , not just Christmas time! You can catch up with Buddy over on his Buddy, the Christmas Husky Facebook page ! Be sure to tel l him the FiveSibes sent you! And , of course, you c...
