Wow! It's a special newsy Tuesday as we here at FiveSibes are celebrating our SIXTH Blogiversary this month! As a photojournalist by trade, I was inspired to start blogging by my five Siberian Huskies: Harely, Gibson, Wolfgang, Chloe, and Bandit. Their personalities and antics and our love of the breed spurred me to begin writing about them.  My first blog post February 23, 2010 My very first FiveSibes blog post was on February 23, 2010 with an article on proper dental care for Pet Dental Health Month. Blogging is an something I enjoy very much. I love to write and I love being a photographer. This blog gives me the opportunity to share my work in the pet arena...and I have fabulous models in the FiveSibes! I enjoy sharing stories about their lives, and bringing information about the Siberian Husky breed as well as healthcare issues, diet and nutrition, and holistic and traditional therapies that benefits not only Huskies, but all dogs.

  Harley checking out Kindle version of Faithfully Yours ! I'm excited to talk about a new book about the precious human-animal bond from a fellow author and wonderful story teller, Peggy Frezon, titled, Faithfully Yours, The Amazing Bond Between Us and The Animals We Love! Of course, being a Siberian Husky parent and blogger, I was drawn to her story of "Zander" the Husky and his human, John. Without giving away the whole tale, I'll tease you with a little excerpt that tells the miraculous story of how Zander, through his devotion, " somehow led him to exactly the right place.... And John tightly hugged the dog who would go to any lengths to be beside his best friend." Hooked? Need a tissue? Want to hear the rest of Zander's story and many other ones in Peggy's book about the wonder and blessing of a pet's devotion? Then please do check out Faithfully Yours. You will want one for your library! "In the natural world,...
