A Happy Holidate A Short Fiction Romance  Written by  Dorothy Wills-Raftery         ❄️ S now flurries danced onto the windshield of Sarah’s SUV as she drove through town. “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,” she sang with the crooner on the radio, while from the back seat her white Siberian Husky howled along. Having just finished her shift at work, Sarah decided to grab a coffee and do a little holiday shopping at the local dog-friendly bookstore café. Once parked, she opened the rear door and unbuckled her dog from its safety harness. She was about to clip on the leash when her foot slipped on the snowy curb and, with arms and leash flailing, she began to fall. Her husky seized that moment to bolt out of the vehicle. “Winter!” Sarah cried. She was mid-fall when a strong arm wrapped around her waist. Glancing up, Sarah’s breath caught in her throat at the mesmerizing sky-blue eyes gazing down at her. “Are you okay?” asked her ...

These beautiful personalized candles are lit for my beloved FiveSibes: Harley, Gibson, Wolf, Bandit, and Chloe on this Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year—the official beginning of Winter, a Siberian Husky's favorite season! The story is told that when our beloved Siberian Huskies and sled dogs journey to north of the Rainbow Bridge, upon their welcome, they receive a beautiful Silver Harness. This special harness frees them of their earthly pain, and allows them to run across those forever snowy fields healthy and free and happy again, with the Northern lights dancing above them.    I have a special bond with my own five that has a direct link to snow and rainbows and clouds...to me, a quick unexpected snow squall means they are near, having some amazing snow zoomies up in the heavens, stopping abruptly to send down a heavy squall to say hello, and just sometimes, they will shine a rainbow in my direction or a zoom by in a fleeting shape in the cl...

The Snow Prince ~ My Beautiful Gibson    Today's #FiveSibes #FlashbackFriday is a very special one. Not that all aren't...but today marks the seven-year anniversary of the day my beloved heart dog, my wooly Siberian Husky Gibson, made his journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Before I get into today's post, I wanted to say that if you've followed me for some time, you'll know how snow has an extra special meaning for me. Having Huskies, also known as snow dogs, they not only love the snow, but when they passed, they have sent me some pretty definitive signs, snow and rainbows being two of them. Today, on the exact date Gibson passed seven years ago, we are having a snow storm! So as the flakes fall, I will be reminiscing about my boy having some awesome snow zoomies with the rest of our FiveSibes...his love Harley, and his Pupster siblings Wolf, Bandit, and  Chloe. And thinking how appropriate that we are having so much snow, something he loved so much.   There is a tis...
