Image
Beep-Beep! "Need a ride?" Our Harley at the wheel! Today is Be the Change for Animals "Blog the Change" day. And, in honor of their "National Volunteer Month" and the BtC theme of "Celebrating People in Action," I'd like to give a big honk to the Operation Roger Truckers Pet Transport ! This is an amazing group of about 20 to 30 truck drivers who love pets and offer "v olunteer transportation and housing for abused and neglected animals, military pets, and pets that need relocation due to family difficulty."  Ac cording to their website, "volunteer to help needy pets get to their new homes and have a better chance at a fun-filled life by giving them a hitchhike in their cabs and a lot of TLC enroute." These caring truck drivers help dogs, cats, and bunnies in need across the country safely reach their destinations. Now in its eighth year, Operation Roger has helped transport 694 pets (and counting) across th...

Happy Easter! Here Comes the Easter FiveSibes!

Image
Here comes the Siberian Cotton Tails, wooing down the Bunny Trail. .. We just loved all the wonderful furpals from around the World who joined us in last year's Easter Parade of Pets, that we just had to share again this year! You may even recognize a few beautiful furry faces! And as you get ready to have some fun this Easter Sunday, just as a reminder, here's a repeat of some safety tips for us all to keep in mind while celebrating this holiday to ensure it's a happy one for all. After the baskets have been found and the egg hunt is over, while dinner is being prepared and guests are arriving, please keep an eye out for the following dangers: Keep pets behind gates, doors, or in kennels as guest arrive & depart so pets don't pull a Houdini and escape Easter plants and flowers, i.e. lillies Easter basket grass (better yet, don't use it; use crumpled up tissue paper)  Easter basket toys Chocolate (and be careful where those chocolate eg...

It's Tasty Tuesday! The FiveSibes Taste Test House Wolf K-9 Biscuits and We're Hosting A Tasty Giveaway for Sibe Rescues!

Image
No one gets between Wolf & his House Wolf biscuits! Recently, we discovered the House Wolf K-9 Dog Biscuits . These are healthy homemade dog treats made in Vermont, USA. They are baked by the owners of the Edelweiss Bakery and Cafe , and were inspired by the family's three Siberian Huskies, "Sasha," "Dakota," and "Kayak" to make their own biscuits.  They state, "We were concerned about what they didn't need in their diets so we researched a more holistic approach to their feeding.  The Wolf came to mind and being our K-9 friends are not to far removed from the Wolf, we research on how they lived and ate in the wild.  Our three didn't need artificial food colorings, preservatives and starches and syrups (sweeteners) nor did they need Humectant and Plasticizer so their biscuits and treats maintained dampness and flexibility.  This is where we developed a biscuit for the three of them that had a much more healthier approach....

It's Purple Day!

Image
Have your dogs gone purple? Today is a very special day. It’s Purple Day . A day to spread awareness of Epilepsy by wearing the color purple. Last year, I was made a Purple Day Ambassador for life, and as such, as many of you know, I have made it my mission to spread the word about Canine Epilepsy. My boy, Gibson, diagnosed as an Epi-dog four years ago when he turned three, has been my inspiration to shine light on these amazing warrior dogs and how they do not stop living life just because they have seizures or Canine Epilepsy. Once, the recommended treatment for dogs with seizures was euthanasia. Not so anymore. There are many possible treatments to try ranging from medical to holistic and dietary, and/or a combination of both. With some special care and a lot of love, Epi-dogs can and do live full happy lives, for however long those lives may be. How Did Purple Day Start? According to Purpleday.org, “Purple Day was founded in 2008, by nine-year-old Ca...
