"Gibbie Snacks," named after my Gibson and created by Vermont bakers at House Woof All Natural Dog Biscuits were formulated with the Epi-dog in mind, but are healthy, delicious bakery-made treats for all dogs! They never contain any preservatives, salt, wheat, or rosemary (all very important for Epi-dogs and dogs with allergies). Please remember to order some today for your dog's Thanksgiving treat and Christmas stocking or holiday gift ~ and the best part? It's a gift that gives back! (These freeze extremely well...if they stick around long enough!)   For every bag that House Woof sells of "Gibbie Snacks," they will donate $1 to TheWally Foundation~Canine Epilepsy . The Wally Foundation offers possible financial assistance for epilepsy medication to families/rescues/fosters of dogs diagnosed with idiopathic Canine Epilepsy. This is a great foundation and has helped so many Epi-dogs families already! I'm proud to be one of their volunteer Case Man...

S-n-o-w! Is there a better word for a Siberian Husky to hear? With the forecasts calling our area's first "snow" of the season, accompanied by arctic-like weather caused by the polar vortex, one can only think of snow! While I'll confess that the Husky kids are going to be a bit more excited than me about the snow, I do have some worries this year with Harley having a new diagnosis of arthritis in her rear right leg and Gibson having his continued hind end weakness, a ramp covered in slippery snow does cause some concern. But I know when the beautiful fluffy flakes of sparkling white fall from the sky in a beautiful silent world, I will enjoy it the beauty and the peace. This photo is a flashback to two years ago when all 20 paws were happily and healthily on the ground together enjoying a fresh snowfall!     Tomorrow - Saturday, November 15 - at 8 PM EST, our FiveSibes #LiveGibStrong K-9 Epilepsy Awareness online auction will close! ...

Our resident couple had in-home laser treatments together, a kind of Siberian Spa Day! Gibson receives it for his weakened hind end (from his epilepsy meds) and arthritis in his knees from his meniscus and CCL tears, while Harely has been diagnosed with arthritis in her right leg. The laser is amazing and I've been a huge advocate of it for years now. If you look closely, you'll see that Gibson enjoys his treatments so much, he actually fell asleep while vet tech Jess administered it! Here's a sneak peek of a few items - Auction ends this Saturday at 8 PM EST! So come on over - there's so many beautiful and new items, some handcrafted with love, for just about every one on your holiday gift list! Visit us HERE.  Now here's your peek!
