And so you    may live, my life is also yours."     ~ The K9 Promise by Author Unknown On K9 Veterans Day - held annually on March 13 - we honor our Canine Service Dogs.

Today is a very special day as it is our alpha queen Harley's 10th Birthday! It's so hard to believe that a decade ago the beautiful pup named Nanuk "Harley" Mari with the intense mask and bright blue eyes came into our lives and introduced us to this wonderful, crazy, loving, howling, fun-filled amazing world of Siberian Huskies! Harley is my daughter's first dog, and not only is she our family's first Siberian Husky, but she is who kicked off the Siberian Husky Potato Chip Syndrome in our home as Gibson followed a year later, and then the three Pupsters Wolf, Chloe, and Bandit two years after Gibson and the FiveSibes were born!  Harley at 7 weeks and today! Harley is such an amazing dog. Not only is she super smart, super fast, and full of Huskitude, she is also very sweet and can turn on the charm in an instant if it suits her. She rules the roost and commands respect from the other four, with Gibson madly in love with her since the day he came ho...

Spring Ahead With Some Seasonal Pet Safety Tips ~ And Farewell to a Friend

Image
Tomorrow morning at 2 AM we welcome Daylight Saving Time (DST) here and in many areas of the world...and after the deep arctic freeze and copious amounts of snow that has occurred in our area this year, we humans are certainly looking forward to being able to "spring" our clocks ahead an hour, which means...Spring is on its way with daylight giving us longer days to have more fun running, playing, swimming, and eating! (Can you say BBQ?! Nom-nommmms!) Daylight Saving Time is also the time of year we like to remind everyone about some very important seasonal health and safety tips: PET MEDICATIONS TIME : If your pet is on specifically timed medications (like our Epi-Husky Gibson who is on meds he must take 12 hours apart), you can help reset your pet's internal clock for these medications by staggering them by a half-hour starting on Sunday. Example: If your pet had been receiving their dosages at 7:30 AM before DST, then under the f...

A Peek at A Future (Pack) Queen on a Flashback Friday

Image
It seems only fitting that today's Flashback Friday be dedicated to our beautiful alpha queen, Nanuk "Harley" Mari, our first Siberian Husky who kicked off the potato chip syndrome in our family, and who will be celebrating her 10th Birthday on the 10th! Pictured here she was just a mere seven-week-old pup who was a startling beauty right from the start. Her gorgeous blue eyes, intense mask, and vast charm immediately stole our hearts. As soon as my daughter and puppy Harley's eyes met, it was as if she was destined to be in our family. We love you so much, Harley. It's hard to believe it's almost a decade already that you have been ruling our family! Here's to another ten at least! Love you, Momma! "Love at first sight started when we met each other eye to eye, but never ended because we found each other at heart to heart." ~Unknown Flashback Fridays are brought to you by us - the FiveSibes - and our new co-hosts, Love i...
