HAPPY 18th Birthday at the Rainbow Bridge, our gorgeous alpha queen, Harley!  Today's Flashbacks are from various birthdays over the years... There is a B-I-G party going on north of the Rainbow Bridge! It's the birthdate of our beautiful first Siberian Husky, and the alpha queen of the FiveSibes pack ~ Nanuk "Harley" Mari ~ who would be 18 years old today!  While I know in reality she would not be here now, it is so wonderful to remember her and how she snuggled up to Gibson, and raised three pupsters that were not of her blood as her very own.

Me, I was trying to figure out how to save the top. BOL! Now, if you recall, I'm also the one who shellacked the five fondant Huskies on a previous cake! And yup, I sure do still have them! But, I'll share that photo another time. Here, my Gibbie was giving the cake a little taste test, before all FiveSibes had a bit of that whipped cream! This was to become one of those uber special moments I was so happy to have had my family capture on film. And, unbeknownst to me at the time, this would be the last birthday of mine that Gibson was here to celebrate for he passed just a few months later. This is such a wonderful memory for this FiveSibesMom's heart. I was/am...
