Turn on the volume for the video below!   Flashback Photo ~ Christmas 2014 ~ Gibson, Harley & Wolfie Can you spot Harley?! Today, we are celebrating Christmas in July with a sweet memory from eight years ago...the tree was trimmed, presents were wrapped, and all that was left was waiting for Santa! I remember after putting the finishing touches on gifts and reading through Christmas cards (most of them for my FiveSibes!), I sat down and just let the wondrous feelings of the season wash over me. I always loved when my Huskies were peacefully sleeping after a day of play. They were safe, well fed, exceptionally loved, and sleeping ever so peacefully under the tree. In this photo, Gibson and his true love Harley snuggled together on his bed (can you see Harley?!) and Wolfie nearby. They were all sleeping so soundly, it warmed my heart. Chloe and Bandit were downstairs snoozing under that tree with my daughter as she watched holiday movies. Listening to this video clip and w...

While we may be toasty warm in the scorching summer heat...it won't be long before we are trying to stay toasty warm in the snowy cold! I thought since Christmas is just about five months from now, we'd flash back to Christmas 2014, when all the FiveSibes were nestled in their beds, visions of treats dancing in their heads as they waited so peacefully for Santa under the tree! This was the typical scene here each year on Christmas Eve and, while unbeknownst to me at the time, it would be Gibson's last Christmas Day with us for the following year, right before Christmas, he earned his furangel wings. While his absence still stings my heart, I can look at these photos and I'm right back in time, feeling all the love and peace of the holiday season shared with my beloved FiveSibes. I can remember feeling so blessed that these beautiful dogs were sharing life with me and my family. While looking for today's photos, I came across some video footage of this exact night...

Woooo! In exactly five months it will be Christmas! To celebrate Christmas in July, we're re-sharing our Christmas Canines and Friends Sleigh Ride video slideshow to get everyone in the mood! And remember...it's never to early to be sure you're on Santa Paws' "Nice" list! Ho! Ho! Ho! "We love Santa Paws! Woooo!" Merry Christmas in July to  all our furpals and families!

Merry Christmas in July from Gibson and the FiveSibes! Yes, we just experienced one of the worst heat waves ever, and I'm talking about Christmas! Well, before you think I was out in the blazing hot sun for too long, Christmas is exactly five months from today! So to celebrate (and think snow), I'm posting this pic to remind us all that it's not really that far away! So Huskies and furpals, start making up that Christmas wish list! And while we're at it, let's all be sure to list "donations for a rescue/shelter" - and it does not have to be money, it can be scheduling some time to foster a dog or help out at a shelter, mending and donating some blankets and toys, donating some food or treats, etc. The furpals will certainly be more jolly...and we'll naturally feel better for helping too! And the best part? We don't have to wait for December to do it! Why not drop by a local shelter today, or this week, and bring some cheer to homeless animals ne...
