  My first St. Paddy's Day was yesterday without any of my beloved FiveSibes...they say the "firsts" are the most difficult...and it's true...and I do so miss my boy, Wolfie. It's just shy of four months since joined my other Huskies, north of the Rainbow Bridge, so I a still have a year of "firsts" to cry my way through...BUT, today, I want to focus my #FlashbackFriday on remembering them as they were, beautiful, silly, fun, loving, and always so happy. That is a true testament to the spirit of a dog, and to my Gibson, Harley, Wolfie, Chloe, and Bandit. To honor that spirit today, I'm fondly looking back at some fun times with my FiveMcSibes on St. Paddy's..after all...isn't it a day of wearin' green, gathering together, and having some fun?     Our FiveSibes OG love birds feeling Siberish  St. Paddy's Day ~ 2012         Was there ever a more dapper Sibe than my boy Gibson?   To encompass the sillyness of my FiveMcSibes, this still f...

 FiveSibes Flashback Photo ~  Harley ~ March 10, 2017 Our beautiful alpha queen Harley, the surrogate momma of our FiveSibes Pupsters, would have been 17 years old today, March 10th. Oh, my, that is so hard to believe. Even harder to believe is that she is no longer with us. She was always our spunky, full of energy and joy Husky. In her honor, this will be our special FlashbackFriday post. Oh, how Harley loved to play Fetch! Even as a senior, she would run like the wind, until she became winded, but would still keep trying to get us to "try and catch her!" She was such an amazing girl. Our first Siberian Husky, my daughter's baby...who kicked off our love for the breed and became the head of what was to be our #FiveSibes pack family! Those were the most amazing fun-filled, crazy, Sibe-loving days. I know she is up there in those forever snowy fields, north of the Rainbow Bridge, kicking up some snow like crazy while having wild zoomies with her love Gibson, and pupsters ...

I recently received some news that touched my forever "FiveSibesMom" heart immensely.❤️ A few years back, on an episode my show “The Sibe Vibe” on Dog Works Radio that was devoted to Pet Safety, CPR, and First Aid featuring guest speaker, Tom Rinelli, owner and instructor of Paws N Claws 911 First Aid and Care Training located in Oakdale, New York. (Podcast at end of this article). During his classes, Tom uses simulated demonstration (demo) animals for the hands-on training sessions.    " A medical emergency or traumatic injury suffered by your pet can be life threatening - unlike their human counterparts, you cannot simply dial 9-1-1 to get help in the event of an emergency. Veterinary medical offices typically maintain normal business hours and even animal emergency hospitals can be miles away...in an emergency, Every Second Counts!! Learn the vital life saving skills needed to help your pet in an emergency."   ~Tom Rinelli, Owner/Instr...
