"Happy Mother's Day to woo, Mom!" A Mother's Day Poem from the Dog --American Greetings card   You feed me when I'm hungry, You keep water in my dish, You let me sleep on anything Or in any place I wish. You sometimes let me lick your hands, or even lick your face, Despite the fact I've licked myself In every private place. You taught me how to come when called, You taught me how to sit, You always let me go outside, So I can take a...stroll. You'll always have my loyalty, up to the bitter end, 'cause after all, it's plain to see... You are a dog's best friend! Happy Mother's Day! "Awww, thanks, Kids. Love you!" ~Hu-Mom  The FiveSibes, Smokie the honorary Husky cat, and I hope all you moms (both canine and human) have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Harley singing her heart out! A few of the "tricks" the FiveSibes have learned include "speak" and "sing." Now, as every Sibe parent can attest to, Siberian Huskies just love to talk. And with a little encouragement and training, they can talk, sing, and howl on request (again and again and again)! Their singing is so part of their charm, and fortunately, I have wonderful neighbors who love to hear our Huskies sing! Here is a little fun movie trailer of "The Singing Sibes" having such a howling good time that we submitted it to Pup Love's "Tricks for Treats" contest. We always love asking them to speak or sing and then enjoy listening to their conversations and songs! We hope you'll enjoy the trailer and a clip of one of their songs! (A Top Ten "with a paw" for sure!) And visit Pup Love's site to view all the video submissions, they are all quite good! A sample clip with vocals...

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  The FiveSibes have been in a festive mood as they have busied themselves with preparations for today's "pawty!"  Bandit and Harley donned colorful leis as they readied themselves to greet a number of furpals who have been gathering for the festivities. We hope you'll enjoy the Cinco de Mayo Paw Party! Many thanks for joining us...now go fetch some hu-family members and dance your paws off! "Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions,  they pass no criticisms."   ~ George Elliot

Chloe with the contents of our First Aid "basket." April has been quite the busy month! It is, among other notable events, National Pet First Aid Month. Even though today is the last day of April, it' never too late to think about pet First Aid and pet First Aid kits. In October we discussed knowing CPR for your pet. If you haven't taken a class, this would be a great time to look into it. Check out the American Red Cross website for more information. We have had a large First Aid "basket" for several years after Gibson had seizures. We also have a cool little white First Aid kit compliments of our furpals, Cooper & Lola , who had a drawing earlier in the year. We have them both stocked with an instant cold pack, paper towels, Rescue Remedy, pheromone calming spray, thermometer, a diary with notations of past seizures and medicine dosages, emergency vet, veterinarian hospital, and animal poison control numbers. During the spring and summer, we als...
