Losing a beloved pet is so heartbreaking; a grief that lives inside of us forever. Today, on National Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, I remember all of my beloved pets who have made their journey to those welcoming fields beyond the Rainbow Bridge, and for our FiveSibes, who journeyed further north to those forever snowy fields where Siberian Huskies go and love to do snow zoomies (and sometimes even send some flakes down as a sign of their forever love). "I know how much you love me As much as I love you Each time that you think of me I know you miss me too.   So when tomorrow starts without me Do not think we’re apart For every time you think of me Remember I’m right here in your heart." ~ David Romano   Things to Do to Honor Your Furangels   🐾 Light a candle in their name  🐾  Plant a shrub or tree in their memory  🐾  Watch videos or look at photos of them when they were here 🐾  Write a letter, journal entry, blog post, or song about t...

  Woo! Today went to the dogs! It's (Inter)National Dog Day! While every day is Dog Day, how wonderful it is to have a special date to celebrate our own dogs (and give extra hugs and treats), and also remember the dogs in shelters and rescues who do not yet have a family of their own. So, another good thing to do today (besides bestow a billion kisses on your own dogs) is to share that love (and treats and some toys, even gently used and clean ones) to a shelter dog or two!  I just donated many items to a local Siberian Husky rescue! It's a great feeling to know other dogs who do not yet have their own loving forever homes have some some special things - whether it is donations of toys, grooming items, treats, food, or even a nice visit for them to get some love and exercise!

  July is National Ice Cream Month! Nothing says summertime more than cooling off with a delicious frozen treat. But,  is it okay to feed your dog ice cream?  Or,  is there something more canine-friendly to serve up?  An occasional lick or two of ice cream may be okay, but only if your dog is not lactose intolerant and does not have a medical issue such as diabetes, obesity, dairy allergies, gastrointestinal issues, etc. NOTE: For a dog with  Canine Epilepsy , a little bit of natural vanilla ice cream can be given post-seizure to help raise sugar levels, but  always check with your veterinarian , who is familiar with your dog’s health record, before giving any new foods or treats to be sure they are safe for your pet.  When it comes to ice cream, there are actually several reasons why you should RESIST giving it to your dog:  It’s made from milk. Many dogs are into...

W oo! Welcome to our #FiveSibes 4TH Annual Sponsor-A-Husky for the Howlidays Drive!  This year we once again had five Rescues answer our call-out and will be participating, so stay tuned! This post is highlighting  SHADOW HUSKY RESCUE INC.  featuring  "MERLIN," and two Epi-dogs (dogs with epilepsy)   "LILLY," and "FREDDY!" This post is one part of this year's FIVE-PART (meaning five different rescues across the country)  SPONSOR-A-HUSKY FOR THE HOWLIDAYS post .  While at the end I'll have one main post with links to all five Rescues, I am also highlighting each of the five Rescues into individual posts so these beautiful homeless Huskies get the attention they deserve, and hopefully several kind "elves" will help fill their Howliday Wish Lists and bring some joy to these Huskies while they wait for their forever families. 🎄 You can also ADOPT one of them, making the rest of their lives full of love! A link is always included in e...
