Rot-ohhhh.... As many of you know, Gibson is an Epi-dog and a wooly-coated Siberian Husky, so to keep him cool, he has a therapeutic water bed. While he's rehabbing from his Christmas Eve injury , his pack family loves to be around him and sometimes the girls Harley and Chloe share his water bed. Very sweet, however, the bed is only meant for an 80-pound dog, Gib is 95, plus Harley at 48 pounds and Chloe at 60...needless to say, tonight it popped a seam! Poor Gib, I had to dry up the floor under the water bed and his regular bed had become wet as a result...so I patted that down and wrapped it in a towel. Now Gibson is snoozing, but he wants his water bed! Luckily, it only takes a few days to have a new one shipped! I typically have a backup on hand, but since he ate the filler cap off the new one, this one was the back up! Poor guy...his expression in the photo above just says it all!

We hear stories every day about Huskies and dogs in need. In this blog post, I'd like to talk about two Huskies who could really use all of our help, whether it is by sharing, re"Tweet"ing, or blogging about in an effort to spread the word and their photos so someone out there can help them. Up first is "Celine the Siberian." Celine was in a crate in the far back of a pick up while her family packed up from a dog show. No one saw her get out. Her family is frantic and missing her and offering a reward. Please see her photos below and share this post in an effort to join others in getting her photo and contact info out there...someone has to have seen her. Celine has to be somewhere. We pray she gets home safe and soon. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Reprinted from " Celine the Siberian" Facebook Page   HOW DID CELINE GET LOOSE?   COULD SHE HAVE BEEN STOLEN?    Celine was in the very back of her owner’s truck, not a van - a pickup.  Sh...
