To round up November's (Canine) Epilepsy Awareness Month, I'd like to highlight my very special and amazing boy, Gibson. He is the continued inspiration and namesake of my #LiveGibStrong K-9 Epilepsy Awareness Campaign, where we help share information, resources, links, and fundraisers to promote education about the positive and realistic side to living with a dog who has been diagnosed with Canine Epilepsy. Gibson and I have traveled this journey. We live it. He lives with it. I have written about his journey and will continue to do in the hopes of helping others who may now find themselves on the same journey. We are here to say - Epi-dogs are amazing! Is it easy...no! Is it scary? It sure can be. Is it worth it? Definitely yes!  So today, my Epi All Star is the boy who started me on this journey and has filled my heart with so much love.  My boy , Gibson.   Gibson has taught me so many things over the years. First, there's love, trust, and a b...

The air is filled with lively music, laughter, and singing as it echoes all around our neighborhood. One can't help but to start dancing! It's Cinco de Mayo and one of our local restaurants is having a street festival and we are fortunate enough to enjoy the sounds from the comfort of our own backyard!  To celebrate on this Cinco de Mayo Tasty Tuesday, we are sharing one of the FiveSibes favorite prepared treat and even a Siberlicious recipe from our fabulous baking friends over at House Woof Dog Biscuits in Vermont! Up first, of course, is our Gibson's namesake treat...   Gibbie Snacks were formulated by House Woof with the Epi-dog (canine epileptic) in mind. Named after my Epi-Husky "Gibson," these are formulated with no wheat, no rosemary, and no preservatives (all possible triggers for seizures), and no salt (always important, especially if one of the medications an Epi-dog is on is Potassium Bromide). They are made of only the freshest in...

Coconut oil helped Harley's digestion. Yes, we are cuckoo for coconut oil here! We love it so much, we are sharing one of our favorite omelette recipes for my FiveSibes using coconut oil later on in this post!   First, let me just say that I am not a vet, nor do I work in a medical setting. This post is simply my experience with my FiveSibes. I always ran anything new--whether it was an food, supplement, or natural treatments--by my own vets first.  So what do I like about coconut oil? It's a healthy choice ~ one that has many benefits not only for your own hu-family, but it is a great addition to your dog's diet as well. What's so great about adding coconut oil to your pet care? Ah, let me count the ways! To quote DOGS NATURALLY MAGAZINE , the possible benefits include:  SKIN CONDITIONS*: Clears up skin conditions such as eczema, flea allergies, contact dermatitis,and itchy skin Reduces allergic reactions and improves skin health Makes coats become slee...
