"You scream! I scream!  We all woo-scream  for Ice Cream!"  This Flashback Friday moments dates back to 2006, when my daughter was sharing her ice cream with our "originals" Harley and Gibson, who was just a puppy! You can see at nearly six months of age, he was already the same size as Harley, who was one! My wooly boy didn't stay small for long! What has stayed the same though is there love for ice cream!  Do you woo-scream for ice cream? Flashback Fridays are brought to you by us - the FiveSibes - and our co-host, Love is being owned by a Husky , each Friday. We hope you'll find a photo or video from Memory Lane, post it, and link up to our blog hop each week! If you don't catch it on Friday, you can link up any time during the week! To catch our past Flashbacks, just enter "Flashback Friday" in the search box. We hope you'll come join us!

Aren't Husky coats just amazing? Here's some more fun fast facts about a Siberian Husky's coat (traditional and wooly): 1) Blowin' in the Wind. They blow their undercoats out twice a year. And if you've ever seen the snow furries from a shedding Husky, you know just how major of an event this is - there's so much fur that you can make a life-size fur model from the shedding hair! The good news is that when they are not shedding, they really don't shed! I have a blue cordouroy couch to prove it! (However, with five Huskies, one is always at a point of shedding, meaning some Husky is shedding at some point year round here!) And the warmer th...
