 FiveSibes #Flashback ~ "Wolfie" ~ 2013 Excavating is hard work, just ask Wolfie! As a member of the Siberian Husky working dog breed, here he is taking a well-earned snooze after some vigorous backyard digging and excavation! However did he stay so white?!

#Flashback ~ 2010 ~ my FiveSibes Snuggle Huskies     Oh, be still my heart! This...THIS...was how my beloved FiveSibes always snoozed together, whether outside on the deck, in their dugout ("Husky Beach"), on the cool grass, which is where this was taken, or inside our house—they were always together, always snuggling (typically wrapped around my big fluffy wooly boy, Gibson), and they were so very bonded. This still makes my heart swell with love and pride as it did when they were here. To know how much they loved being together Harley & Gibson my married couple, and the three pupsters Wolfie, Chloe, and Bandit who at just 10 weeks old, crashed their life at once (BOL), all five never to be separated - still fills me with so much love.  This is family, and family equals a forever love that never diminishes, no matter how much time goes by. These five amazing, beautiful, wonderful, loving huskies will live in my heart now forever, together. “Where there is love there ...

 FiveSibes #Flashback ~ Christmas Day 2015 ~ Pupters: Wolfie, Bandit, and Chloe   'Tis the season for Christmas in July memories! Some are so joyful, and others bittersweet. Christmas. morning 2015 is both. This was the first Christmas after my beloved Gibson earned his wings just nine days earlier, and my dear mother a month prior. I feel like that December was a blur. In some ways, it feels like just a year or two ago, not almost 11 years. Time is very surreal. This photo was taken on Christmas morning by the beautiful tree my daughter went and picked out and decorated in a different style just for me. Although I was physically there, I was filled with double grief over my losses. But this tree, surrounded by my family and our four remaining Huskies, was the spark I needed to push on. Even in loss, we can appreciate our blessings. I took solace in the fact that Gibson had to suddenly leave to keep an eye on my mother because that was my boy Gib; always looking out for m...
