Christmastime has always been a favorite, special, and fun time of year for my family; from my childhood home to the present. The FiveSibes have always added so much happiness and laughter to our lives, and they have enjoyed Christmas just as much as we have! I am so thankful for all the memories. In this video from Christmas 2013, my boys Gibson and Wolf kept me company while wrapping presents under the tree. And, as you can see, Wolf the forever sleepyhead was busy snoozing while big brother Gibson was my silly Elf, "helping" me wrap!  They always pick up on the excitement as THE day draws near...enjoying the decorating, getting and sending cards, and eating doggie treats while we baked. And to this day, laying under the tree and gazing at the twinkling lights is still a favorite past time of theirs...and one I love to watch as it reminds of all the love, peace, warmth, and joy this season is really about. "We'll cherish those moments  for the rest of...

Thanksgiving Day with the FiveSibes...    Watching the parade... "Woo! Will we see Santa Paws?!" Helping Mom in the kitchen... "Well someone has to lick up the crumbs!"   Dessert Tasting...  Woo, is that turkey cookie for US???!!! (Thanks, Sassy's Goodies !)   Still waiting on baby hu-brother... A little Nanny-to-be retail therapy while waiting led to these adorable Husky baby outfits! S ix days past due date! What will come first, the baby or the turkey?! Guess Mr. Turkey won! (for today) Of Thanksgiving past: Harley, Chloe & Gibson eyeing the stuffing!   Badge by Ann of Zoolatry Today I am remembering my dear Mom and my sweet furangel Gibson, who I am so thankful I had in my life. Gibson will always hold a very special place in my heart. I sorely miss his presence every single day with his larger-than-life personality, his deep soulfulness, his loving...

"What are you waiting for, Mom? Tur n on the hose!" We are in the middle of a sizzling heat wave here in upstate New York! Today the temperature was 93℉ with a heat index of 122℉! No weather for dogs, especially Siberian Huskies! While my Huskies were all relaxing inside the cool air conditioned house, with quick jaunts outside to do their business, take a quick splash in their pool, and quickly retur back to the cool confines of the house, my thoughts went to my sweet wooly angel Gibson. He did not like the warm weather, let along this brutal heat. Plus, being an Epi-dog, a canine epileptic, heat and overheating can trigger seizures, so keeping him cool was always a top priority, as is keeping all the Huskies cool. Oh, but he did love the pool! This photo is a flashback to three years ago, the summer of 2013, and is one of my favorite photos of Gib. When I pulled out one of the kiddie pools,washed it off, put it down on the deck and then turned around to pull some m...
