Bandit says, "#GetTough!" Today is National Dog Fighting Awareness Day (NDFAD ) and we have joined the ASPCA , who has teamed up with professional wrestler and animal lover AJ Lee to "ask animal advocates across the country to get tough on dog fighting ."  According to the ASPCA.org , "Dog fighting occurs in every part of the country and in every type of community. The ASPCA is working to ensure that canines are safe from this cruel sport. Our responders save animals from abuse and build cases against abusers. And at the end of every case, our placement specialists ensure that animal abuse survivors find loving homes." Harley, Gibson, Chloe & Wolf join Bandit on the #GetTough Team! States AJ, "Growing up, my family and I lived in very poor, very dangerous areas and dog fighting was prevalent. My dad, who has the biggest heart in the world, would open our home to pit bulls that had been rescued from fighting. We fostered four...

Wolf and Bandit spy the "goodies! " We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter this past Sunday! Ours here was quiet and spent with our immediate family and the Sibe kids, of course! We did have to delay their celebration for a couple days as our girl Bandit, who never gets sick, suddenly came down with a tummy bug and was sick most of Easter afternoon and night and into the next day. After a couple days of rest, she is thankfully back to her normal self and back on food, so we were able to do some belated celebrating together as a pack family! They were a very happy, excited bunch of Huskies when they discovered it included treats and toys! Two magical words our Siberian Huskies love to hear! For starters, our FiveSibes were treated to a delicious custom-made and decorated Pumpkin Applesauce "Pupcake" and some pumpkin and peanut butter holiday cutout cookies from Sassy's Goodies in Springfield, Missouri. The Pupcake, according to Nanette ( Sassy's Go...

Spring is finally in the air here! Although Mother Nature gave us an inch of snow the other morning, clearly reminding us that she's in charge, today, although overcast, is a comfy 64℉ and all the Sibes are relaxing out on the deck in anticipation of the Easter Bunny arriving this weekend! And in honor of that, on this FiveSibes Flashback Friday , this is a photo of our Easter Husky, Gibson, from several Easters back, and we thought what better flashback is there than to stroll down Memory Lane, revisiting furpals and furangels from around the world who were featured in our Easter Parade from 2012?! It's also a great time to review some innocent looking dangers: Easter plants and flowers, i.e. lilies are pretty, but they are toxic. Go faux! Easter basket grass (better yet, don't use it; use crumpled up tissue paper). Easter basket toys - watch out for those small parts and toy batteries! Chocolate (and be careful where those chocolate eggs were hidden so none a...

  In an excerpt of the the FDA's press release of today: FDA Alerts Veterinarians and Pet Owners Not to Use Prescription Center Pharmacy Products April 2, 2015 "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine is urging veterinarians and pet owners not to use products made and distributed by the Prescription Center pharmacy, located at 915 Hay St., Fayetteville, North Carolina.
