Our FiveSibes pupsters Wolfie and Bandit were out and back in as quick as their wet little paws could move! My boy Wolfie poked his head out while getitng toweled off ho;\ping Isaias blew away! Huskies do not like rain! Funny, they love the sprinkler, though! We hope all who are also in the storm's path are all safe and dry! Back to our FiveSibes Blog Home Page Visit our FiveSibes Website

Remembering Chloe

Image
How can it be one year ago already that our dear pack sweetheart, Chloe, suddenly left us for the Rainbow Bridge ? Always happy, chatty, and hungry, Chloe was the sweetest dog. She loved to talk, and she loved to eat. When she suddenly stopped both, it was an alarming sign. To think she suddenly succumbed to advanced liver disease that had never even shown a sign in any previous tests, still just blows my mind. The phone call that said, "it's bad" and then the urgently needed vet visit immediately following. How? But if there is any comfort, it is in knowing we were able to let her gently and peacefully make her journey in the familiar, loving surrounding of our home and her siblings and "mama" Harley. Above is a favorite photo of our girl, who was my girl's best furry friend, with a handmade FiveSibes snowflake from their Auntie Holly. Oh, how Chloe loved to pose upon the couch or on one of our chairs! She was truly a princess pup. “Time is like a riv...

A Health Scare For Bandit

Image
Hello dear Blogville friends! As you know, it's been awhile since we have been blogging. If you follow us on our FiveSibes: Siberian Husky K9 News & Reviews Facebook page,   we do continue our updates, but my muse apparently hit the road! After losing our beloved Harley just three months after losing our sweet Chloe, I needed to take a step back and my creativity went on hold. We also had some big life changes to adjust to and help our Wolfie and Bandit adjust as well, especially to the loss of their beloved sibling and "momma." And...since we last "spoke," the world has certainly changed. So much illness, chaos, unrest, and unhappiness...we sure do hope this post finds you all safe and well.  Many things have happened during our blogging and The Sibe Vibe Dog Works Radio show hiatus, including adjusting to the loss of Chloe and Harley, and a big move! We also recently had a health scare with our girl Bandit. I hope to soon be back blogging more regularl...

Happy Birthday Party for Harley at the Bridge!

Image
Today would have been our beautiful alpha queen Harley’s 15th Birthday. Our first Husky. Queen of the # FiveSibes . How I wish she was here to celebrate with us and have her ice cream cake! I am so glad we celebrated her 14.5 Birthday back in September as we knew at the time, her journey to the Bridge was nearing. It still does not feel real that she is no longer physically with us, but she will always and forever be with us in our hearts.    Enjoy your day at the Rainbow Bridge with Gibson and Chloe, Momma Har. Things are not the same without you.  We miss you so.   A Bridge Called Love It takes us back to brighter years, to happier sunlit days and to precious moments that will be with us always. And these fond recollections are treasured in the heart to bring us always close to those from whom we had to part. There is a bridge of memories from Earth to Heaven above… It keeps our dear ones near us It’s the bridge that we call...

Happy 12th Birthday, Pupsters!

Image
  We are popping in from our blogging hiatus as our Pupsters celebrated their 12th Birthday! It was a bittersweet day as this was the first Pupsters' birthday without sister Chloe, who made her sudden journey North of the Rainbow Bridge this past June, and the loss of our pack's alpha queen, a/k/a "momma." It is still so hard to believe that our beautiful big FiveSibes pack family is now two--Wolf and Bandit. But, we braved on to celebrate their special day and recall so many fond memories of all three pupsters celebrating in past years together, while looking forward to the future. Those were the days, my friends... we thought they'd never end... My grandson is an amazing constant source of joy not only for this proud Nanny, but for Wolf and Bandit, too. They have become very good friends and he has helped them come out of their grieving! There is something about seeing him and Wolf and Bandit forge a close bond that just really warms ...
