Wolf, the Campaign Manager W e are VERY excited (hear those Sibe woos???!!!) to report that we have been nominated for a "Shorty Award" for social media for our Twitter tweets and our blog.  http://shortyawards.com/FiveSibesMom I t's truly an honor! But the work is not done there, nope! The FiveSibes and Hu-Mom are now hitting the Campaign Trail to garner up some more votes for the "Shorties" to possibly have a chance at getting some national attention, which in turn will help us to continue to promote and support the breed of Siberian Huskies and all things canine and pet-related. So, if you enjoy visiting our blog, seeing our photos, viewing our videos, and reading our Twitter tweets--and if you have a Twitter account--if you wouldn't mind visiting this site ( http://shortyawards.com/FiveSibesMom ) and voting for us in the "social media" category, we would send many Husky hugs your way!  P lease be sure to complete the sentence ...

Our Bandit dreamily stares out the window just waiting for more snow! I think this week she may be getting her wish with the forecast calling for a possible two feet more of the white stuff! And as the TV weather forecaster said, "We are just one-third of the way through winter, folks!"  It's a Sibe's world, that's for sure! 

It's National Hugging Day !   Happy Husky Hugs from the FiveSibes!

I t's so hard to believe, but our pupsters all turned three years old today - on January 19!!! It seems like just yesterday they were babies all cuddled and huddled together when my daughter and I first brought them home in 2008. Today, they are still very close and can be quite silly! C hloe, Wolf, and Bandit celebrated their birthday in style with an ice cream snowball "cake," silly hats (which came off very quickly!), and Skineez toys! A s I did with Gibson for his birthday last week, I once again took a nostalgic stroll down Memory Lane and put together a little slideshow of the pupsters from when they joined our family at just 9 weeks old. That's when they met "Momma" Harley and older brother Gibson, and they all became the FiveSibes! I hope you will enjoy watching it as much as I've had fun putting it together. ♥ Happy Birthday, Pups! We love you! ♥

In the quiet, peaceful early morning following a recent snowstorm, Wolf was looking out over the freshly fallen snow.

T oday is a day for joining other animal lovers across the globe to blog, tweet, and share a good cause or person who benefits, helps, or cares for animals during the Blog the Change hosted by Be the Change for Animals. T here are so many causes that are near and dear to my heart. Today, I would like to talk about Siberian Husky rescues. Throughout each state across the country and the world, there are volunteer rescues who depend on the funds and service, including many Siberian Husky rescues. While there are wonderful breeders out there, if you or a friend are thinking about adding a beautiful Sibe to your family, maybe think about adopting one from one of the rescue shelters. You can do a Google search and click on the website of ones in your area and check out photos of the beautiful Huskies available to loving, forever homes. If you can't adopt one at this time, maybe you could think about fostering one until a Hu-family is located. Donations in the form of money, time, and...
