S o many of our furpals have been enjoying that white fluffy stuff that my FiveSibes have been busy only dreaming about. Then, one recent night winter's first sparkling snow flurries began to fall from the Heavens, and excitement grew amongst the pack family. There was lots of wooing, running, and playing. They even stopped momentarily to close their eyes and feel the cool, wet flakes hit their happy furry faces. Here's a little slideshow of their nighttime fun: T hen almost as fast as it came to just slightly dust the ground, the snow stopped. But the excited anticipation of more snow still lingers on in the "kids" (even though we had a silly 40-degree heat wave and rain for two days). AND, we hear that snow showers are in the forecast for the next couple of days, so we my Husky babies all have their paws crossed for a White Christmas season. To our furpals out there who do have lots of snow, enjoy!

Nikko is patiently waiting for a forever home. " Thorns may hurt you, men desert you, sunlight turn to fog; but you're never friendless ever, if you have a dog."    --Douglas Mallock T here is an epidemic out there...too many Sibes, and dogs in general, are abandoned, neglected, and left homeless when owners move, get frustrated, or simply change their mind about having a Husky. Homeless, rescued Siberian Huskies are not inferior dogs. They are not bad dogs. Many once were purchased from breeders simply for their beauty, only to take the uneducated owner by surprise with their energetic (and sometimes destructive) Siberian Husky ways.  Too many Huskies are turned in to shelters or become homeless because their owners did not research the breed to discover and understand that Siberian Huskies are “working” dogs, therefore, they are have a high-energy level and need to follow their natural instinct to run. They were, after all, bred for long-distance sledding. Th...

Harley is eager to try the recipe! Well, yes, it's Tuesday, which means it's time for the FiveSibes' "Canine Cooking Corner." However, this Husky household's kitchen is currently closed due to some renovations (which is making the Hu-Mom very, very happy!)  So, while we will not be featuring a FiveSibes cooking video, we would like to keep on the topic of recipes. Below is a recipe I saw from Andrew Lewis, author at Healthy-K9.com , from his book Dog Food Secrets . Sounds yummy to us! I'm sure this will be a 5-paws-up recipe! Terrier Tuna, Egg & Cheese Supreme Ingredients                                              1 can flaked tuna in oil, undrained           2 eggs      ...

Gibson is proud of his Pet Safety Card. Just in time for holiday travel, I'd like to once again talk about pet travel safety, expanding upon my original Be Smart Ride Safe post from October when we took "the Pledge" to continue buckling up our Sibes for safety. Today is a very important day in the FiveSibes' household. In the mail arrived all five of their driver's licenses. Well, actually, they are canine passenger Pet Safety Registration Cards. These cards look similar to our driver's licenses, and include a valid photo of our pet, as well as valuable information about our pets who travel with us. The cards are kept in the car's glove compartment. An alert sticker is placed on the car's driver's side window to notify emergency personnel that this information is on board in case of an accident or other travel incident.   Information listed on the card includes the pet's name, type, sex, breed, color, birthdate, weight, vet...

Welcome back to another blog-isode of our "Canine Cooking Corner!" Tonight, Wolf has his bowl all ready to mix up some "Turkey Mish-Mash" and do a little taste tasting along the way!  This recipe is great for roasted turkey (or chicken)...and it's 100% Sibe tested and approved! If you have any leftovers leftover from Thanksgiving, here's a great treat for your furkids and I promise they will lick their bowls clean! We also came across some great canine recipes over at Husky Haven that we will be whipping up soon. While there, check out their sweet rescue Sibes in need of a loving home.  Please feel free to link to us and/or leave us a "woo" or two about what your furpal's fave recipe is. Until next Tuesday, keep cookin' and Bon Appetit! "
