Flashback Photo Collage: 2015 Oh, what a fun and sweet memory is today's Flashback photo! Our trip down Memory Lane stops off in 2015 when Gibson (with little bro Wolf looking on) video chatted on my laptop with my friend Jeanette's beautiful girl, Faith! (As you can see, my boy Gibson knew his way around a keyboard!) While both Gibson and Faith have now journeyed to North of the Rainbow Bridge, I'm pretty sure they are hanging out together, loving all this snow, and having a good howl at today's post! May we all cherish our friendships and our memories of the special little moments in life that bring us smiles, over and over again. “Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.” ~Washington Irving  A note from the FiveSibes:  Our FiveSibesMom took a little spill on the ice after a bad storm, and fractured ...

Faith DaBaldo photo by Jeanette DaBaldo There are beautiful scriptures about Faith. Songs of Faith. People have Faith. Faith is such a powerful five-letter word. And this beautiful Siberian Husky, aptly named "Faith," sure embodies the word as she is celebrating her 17th Birthday today! Faith DaBaldo's hu-mom, Jeanette, is a dear friend of mine. I first "met" beautiful Faith and Jeanette when I was hosting a photo contest here on my blog back in 2013. When I saw the photo of Faith decked out in a life jacket swimming in a pool, I thought what a pretty puppy! Only to find out this bright-eyed beautiful Husky "pup" was actually all grown up; a senior dog at 13 years of age! This led to an in-depth conversation about arthritis in senior dogs, alternative therapies, and it not only led to an article I wrote about this, but also forged a special bond of friendship between us. With having chosen alternative care for my Gibson, we chatted much about th...

Today is a very special day! It's "Faith" DaBaldo's "Sweet 16" Birthday! This inspirational Siberian Husky I met several years ago and have since become wonderful friends with her mother! We thank our furbabies for introducing us! Isn't it wonderful the people we meet through our dogs? Her hu-mom, Jeanette, helps keep this beauty youthful through a number of alternative therapies including AquaTread, acupuncture, chiropractic treatments and stem cell therapy! Faith loves the snow and spending time with her hu-mom and hu-dad, and sometimes this sweet-faced angel enjoys some Husky zoomies and a can even give a little Husky sass! This sweet girl is an inspiration to pet parents every where!  To read more about Faith's story, check out my article on her in American Pet Magazine's volume 4, issue 2, starting on page 10!  And to hear her hu-mom talk about this amazing dog and her treatments, tune in to my sho...

Photo of Faith courtesy of Jeanette DaBaldo Today's Flashback Friday is bit different from our usual Memory Lane photograph postings; it's a Flashback Friday story update that features some flashback photos to last year! In the name of joy, happiness, and excitement, I am not going to bury the lead here today because we are so thrilled to send out big Happy Birthday woos and wishes to our very special furpal, my "furniece," and Wolf's sweetheart (and yes, they met online and fell in love at first "woof!")...the very beautiful Faith DaBaldo who turned 15 years young today! Let's hear it for the girl - wooooooooooooo! "I pawed the poem myself just for you, Faith."  In a Flashback Friday photo essay, these are pics of Harley, and brothers Wolf and Gibson, all having a little Sibe fun "woochatting" via cell phone and laptop with Faith! Oh, these clever Siberian Huskies!  Many may know Faith from Facebook,...

Faith DaBaldo Faith. In addition to the religious definition, "faith" also means : “Confidence or trust in a person or thing” and a “belief that is not based on proof.”   Faith, the name, also means confidence, trust, belief. Confidence. Trust. Belief.  Three simple words that can shape the decisions we make and the lives we lead. Faith is something our pets place in us, which is an honor and a privilege. We sometimes embark upon a journey with an unclear path, armed only with the faith that we are on the best path for our situation. Today, I’d like to share with you an inspiring story about embarking upon such a journey, where confidence, trust, and belief play key roles, coincidentally with a beautiful Siberian Husky girl named “Faith” and her hu-mom, Jeanette.  "Starbucks, Mom?"   Her name and the definition have joined together as partners on a journey of health and possibilities. Faith, whose beautiful face reflects that of youngster...
