Thank you, Momma...for everything, but most of all, for being you. You are loved and missed, for always. May you be dancing in Heaven with Daddy now. 

Traveling down Memory Lane can be such a warm and wonderful thing to do. Looking back on our FiveSibes warms my heart, and reminds me of the kabillion fun and loving moments we've had together. While I miss my furangels something fierce, especially my big buddy boy Gibson, being a photographer and chronicling their almost every move serves as a wonderful reminder of all the happy, crazy, and joyous times spent together. It's a way of bringing back those days and getting to spend a few moments visiting with our pets and watching them grow all over again. Oh, and the laughs of raising not one, not two, but three Siberian Husky puppies together in addition to our original two, who just one- and two-year-old pups themselves, is one of those extra special momentous experiences in life I am so blessed to have! "You raised and trained THREE puppies at once?" is a very common question (along with raised eyebrows and wide eyes!) I have been asked over the years. Yes, we d...

Today is July 1st - the ASPCA 's "ID Your Pet Day" and we are joining in their "ID's, Please!" to help raise awareness about the importance of tagging pets with a personalized ID with the pet's current information, as well as having pets microchipped (and if your pet already has a microchip implanted, please be sure the information on file is current).   "This holiday is especially timely as it's just a few days prior to July 4th - the time of year when many pets go missing due to fireworks and other loud noises." ~ ASPCA Speaking of July 4th, our U.S. celebration of Independence Day, America's Birthday, we do so enjoy many holiday traditions, such as parades, BBQs, picnics, pool parties, and watching firework s displays. But, along with all these wonderful summer-loving events, extra caution and care is required with our pets to ensure their safety and happiness as well. Topping the list is fireworks. While they can b...

On Tuesday , I posted that the gender reveal of my first grandbaby, the FiveSibes hu-sibling, was coming soon! Yesterday, my daughter had her 20-week sonogram and it revealed it was blue all the way! We are so thankful and very excited! We can't wait to meet the little guy and introduce him to the Huskies!  And, of course, we had to have an ice cream cake to celebrate!   Today, we are happily joining in the Thankful Thursday Blop Hop hosted by Pepsi Smart Dog !

SOOOOO excited...Wednesday is the day! Yes! Tomorrow we find out if our first grandbaby, the FiveSibes hu-sibling, is a boy or girl! Did I mention I was SOOOOO excited???!!! Stay tuned!  

According to The Vision Council, National Sunglasses Day is, "a reminder that our shades are a health necessity and it is important to wear sunglasses or other UV-protective eyewear every day to protect long-term eye health." So, while we are keeping our beloved canines safe, healthy, and happy, let's not forget about ourselves! To keep our furry best friends in tip-top shape, we need to be, too! And what about sunglasses or goggles for dogs? While they may not need sunglasses as we do, there are doggie sunglasses, a/k/a dog goggles, and there are times when it is important for them to wear them, especially when they are in a car, truck, or boat with their faces to the speeding breezes to protect their eyes from the wind, as well as any harmful dust, debris, and UV rays. Just check out our boy Wolf rockin' his doggie goggles (and safety jacket) before a boat ride! Some dogs may also have eye health issues and require wearing  them more often. Not sure if y...
