T oday is International Epilepsy Day! Each year, Epilepsy Day falls on the second Monday of February, and since February is the month of love, it is another perfect time to show a whole lot of love for our Epi-dogs (dogs with epilepsy)!      A little background for new readers. I have been a proud official Purple Day® for Epilepsy Ambassador (for K9 Epilepsy) since 2012, inspired by my own journey with my beloved, amazing Gibson who was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy shortly after his third birthday. Through all his trials come tribulations with epilepsy, he never let having seizures stop him from having such a zest for life! I learned so much from him, and loved him dearly. He was my heart dog. Gibson is the namesake for all of my awareness and educational initiatives, and when he earned his wings, he had lived the last 7 years of his life seizure free. He did not pass from epilepsy. He passed from hemangiosarcoma .   I also am very proud and honored that in 201...

  FiveSibes Flashback ~ Wolfie ~ February 2022   "You are no longer where you were, but you are everywhere that I am." ~Victor Hugo   Oh, how I loved walks with my Huskies. Even more so when they were snowy walks. Pictured here, is Wolfie, and oh, he just loved the snow, as did all of my FiveSibes. Snow walks were the absolute best! Now, whenever it snows, I always think of my beloved FiveSibes having snow zoomies across our backyard, or going for pack walks in the fluffy white snow. Then there were the precious walks with Wolfie and Bandit after we moved and we were able to have mini-adventures exploring the new land all around us. Then one day, it was just me and my baby boy, and the great snowy north country strolls that helped to soothe both of our grieving souls. Now those strolls are no more, but all of these precious memories I will always hold dear, especially as the snow flies.     💛 Memories Are Visits For the Heart 💛       Join Us...
