What a wonderful and fun way to welcome in the weekend, but with a Flashback to when my FiveSibes were all puppies! I always love looking back for photos to share on our Flashback Friday, but I had so much fun and lots of memories of precious moments of when my Huskies were pups. Now, if you ask them, and they are all now "seniors," they'd tell you they still are pups! At least at heart, they sure are! Now...where does the time go?!  "Puppies are the most trusting and joyous creatures on the planet. Oh, to be more like a puppy." ~Colleen Paige,  Founder of National Puppy Day For more info on National (now International) Puppy Day, founded by Colleen Paige, visit HERE.

Surrogate Momma Harley joins in for some nom-noms! What a party it was! Check it out... Gibson once again stopped in from The Rainbow Bridge to visit his  younger siblings for their birthday!  ~Once FiveSibes: Always FiveSibes~ Since I'm posting at the end of the day Thursday on the Pupsters Birthday, I'm tying it in with our Flashback Friday!  In addition to the Pupster's flashback photo from 2008 when they were just mere pups, here's another special Flashback Friday photo from four years ago of all FiveSibes, including big brother furangel Gibson, enjoying the best part of the day...cake time...at the Pupster's 5th Birthday party! Flashback Fridays are brought to you by us - the FiveSibes - and now also our co-hosts, Love is being owned by a Husky each Friday. We hope you'll find a photo or video from Memory Lane, post it, and link up to our blog hop each week! If you don't catch it on ...

Traveling down Memory Lane can be such a warm and wonderful thing to do. Looking back on our FiveSibes warms my heart, and reminds me of the kabillion fun and loving moments we've had together. While I miss my furangels something fierce, especially my big buddy boy Gibson, being a photographer and chronicling their almost every move serves as a wonderful reminder of all the happy, crazy, and joyous times spent together. It's a way of bringing back those days and getting to spend a few moments visiting with our pets and watching them grow all over again. Oh, and the laughs of raising not one, not two, but three Siberian Husky puppies together in addition to our original two, who just one- and two-year-old pups themselves, is one of those extra special momentous experiences in life I am so blessed to have! "You raised and trained THREE puppies at once?" is a very common question (along with raised eyebrows and wide eyes!) I have been asked over the years. Yes, we d...

Our sweet Pupsters Wolf, Bandit, and Chloe, all snuggling in their Husky puppy huddle at just eight weeks of age! What a crazy, hectic, fun time it was raising three puppies at once! They would play and tumble and fall fast asleep on top of each other. Always touching. How wonderful it is to see them grow up a bonded sibling family over the years and still to this day, at age seven, huddle together when they sleep, knowing they are safe, protected, and loved...always. Precious memories.

Happy Puppy Day! F ounded in 2006 by Celebrity Pet and Home Lifestyle Expert and Author, Colleen Paige, (who is also the founder of National Dog Day and National Cat Day), today (which is now International Puppy Day!) is a day to celebrate the wonder and joy of puppies...and to promote adoption! Here a look back at our FiveSibes from their days as puppies!  Our beautiful furangel Chelsey as a puppy with my daughter when she was just a young girl shortly after we brought Chelsey home - best pals since the day Chelsey was adopted from our local SPCA! www.nationalpuppyday.com And please remember...no pet store/puppy mill puppies! Visit the ASPCA's No Pet Store Puppies website and take the pledge today!

"Are woo our big bwofur?!!" Puppies! Puppies! Puppies! This wonderful captured moment from 2008 was when our three Pupsters Wolf and Bandit (Chloe off screen) first met their big brother! Gibson was just two and Harley three (mere pups themselves as we all know Sibes fortunately never grow up)! While Harley took to being surrogate mom immediately, big bro Gib was not quite sure of what to make up the puppy invasion of not one, not two, but three new baby siblings! He had been enjoying his bachelor days with his soul mate, Harley.  Oh, but l ooking back, I laugh. I'm not quite sure how we handled three puppies at one time...but my daughter was an amazing puppy momma. I worked out in the field at the time as a photojournalist and editor, and they actually came home while I was working on a project with a tight deadline. But we managed! My daughter took the day shift and we both shared the night shift. (I mean, five Huskies, three of them puppies in the house, we love...

From the moment Gibson joined our family at four months of age, he was smitten with Harley (who was the older woman at almost one-and-a-half years of age)...and as you can see from this photo (when Gibson was actually smaller than Harley!) it was instant puppy love that has lasted until this very day! “Dogs are miracles with paws.” ~Susan Kennedy *Join us with a Friday stroll down  Memory Lane!*   Grab our badge and join in!  Share your blog, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram #FlashbackFriday photo and mention the FiveSibes ™  with a link back to here and leave us comment so we can come visit your Flashback, too!  To catch up on past Flashback Fridays, visit us here:   Flashback Friday #35: L ooking Back on the Dog Days of Summer with the FiveSibes & Friends Flashback Friday #34: Darling Chloe Flashback Friday #33: Circle of Love: Celebrating Life Flashback Friday #32: Those Were the Days, My Friend ~ When ...

  The Pupsters' Circle of Love   Today is Flashback Friday here at the FiveSibes homestead and a good time to reflect upon puppies, new life, and happiness, to celebrate life. This is our darling Pupsters - littermates Chloe, Bandit, and Wolf - at just two months! They have been best friends, The Three Muskateers , since the start, and they still love to strike this pose and kiss each other! It's been a wonderful treat to watch these babies grow up together, interact, and play...they have a wonderful relationship, and it just warms my heart to know they have had each other since birth! Our silly, loving, loveable Pupsters!   * * * * * * * * In celebration of life, today's blog is dedicated to our fellow Epi-furpal, The Mighty Quinn of the White Dog Army , who just lost his fight with Canine Epilepsy, but never lost his might. Run free, beautiful boy. You will be missed by those who loved you and you will always be remembered. We join your family in celeb...
