Winter Flashback ~ FiveSibes   “A snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky...and seems like a thing of wonder.”     ~Susan Orlean With the past few days of snow we've been having here, it brought back to mind how much my FiveSibes loved to go out and play in it! It was as though we waited all year in anticiaption of wintery snow days and it was truly a magical world in our yard during and after a snowfall when I'd let my Huskies let out in the yard to play! I'd open the kitchen door and they would zoom out across the deck down the ramp and into the snowy yard below. Oh, how they had a blast, especially during the quiet snowy evenings,when they went out to investigate the newly fallen snow in the that wondrous peaceful silence that only happens right after a snowfall. Snowy nights were always a special time for my snow dogs and me. ❄️💙  Question: In the magical snowy evening photo above, can you count how many of my FiveSibes were playing o...

Wolfie received a surprise today...a sign from his sister, Bandit--snow!   "Snow!" enjoys Wolfie. One week ago tomorrow, our dear Bandit girl made her journey to the snowy fields north of the Rainbow Bridge, a place where Siberian Huskies go to find their family and friends in the forever snow. Bandit loved the snow, as most "snow dogs" do. Huskies were born for snow. Whenever it snows, it is truly natures gift to the Siberian Husky and many of their dog friends.     In Bandit's memorial post , I mentioned that our girl was strong, tough, and resilient, and like a Husky, was easily distracted by passing birds, fluttering butterflies, buzzing bees, squirrels, opossums, cats, and other dogs. This distraction, I noted, would most likely delay her arrival at the Rainbow Bridge, where our dearly departed Harley, her big brother Gibson, and her pupster sister Chloe would all be waiting for her.      How I picture my four furangels reuniting in those snowy Rainb...

February is off to quite a start! Monday was a very snowy day here! It started snowing last night and went on all through the day and into the evening. We currently have about a foot and another storm moving in again in a day or so. It was a great day if you were a snow dog! The FiveSibes had a blast today. While Harley is on leash lock down due to her arthritic legs, and Gibson is still in the lift harness from his fall a year ago due to hind end weakness from his Epi-meds, they, too, had time to enjoy sitting in the snow and enjoy the crisp snowflakes falling all around them. When first let out, our girl Bandit flew like the wind over and into the snow drifts, all before I could even turn on my recorder! By the time I did, she had backed her speed and excitement back a few notches, but she gave us a very silly show! Here's a little video slideshow of their fun in the snow: A side effect of snow plowing Siberian Husky style! And after all the fun i...

"Woo! It's came!"  "Woo...This is MY kind of weather!" "Sniff-sniff...I love the smell!"   "Woo...ooo...it's so cold on my paws...!"   "Snow! Do woo think we'll get more soon?" Ahhh...the four letter word that creates pure excite for Siberian Huskies - S-N-O-W!!! Wolf Update : He is starting to put some more weight on his leg...and his fur is growing back so his leg is all fuzzy! We still have six more weeks of rehabbing, but each day he gets a bit more stronger! Thanks again for all your good wishes and woos! * * * * * And here's Gib with our 30th Epi-Tip!   While today marks the last day of November and National Epilepsy Awareness Month, and our last daily Epi-Tip, we hope every day is an awareness day for Canine Epilepsy. We thank you for joining us in our "Live Gib Strong" K-9 Epilepsy Awareness Campaign. Spread the word that not only can Epi-dogs ...

"The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?" ~JB Priestley Shadow Shot Sunday      * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * We'd like to dedicate this blog post to Blogger pal, Remington , who has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. We are saddened to learn of this news, and send Husky hugs and all positive thoughts to handsome Remington and his hu-family for strength , happiness, and hope. A nd a "thank you" to Ann of Zoolatry Girls for this beautiful badge of Remi ngton.
