Wolf stands proudly in front of an American flag. "You're A Grand Old Flag" Words and Music by George M. Cohan You're A Grand Old Flag, You're a high flying flag, And forever, in peace, may you wave. You're the emblem of the land I love, The home of the free and the brave. Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue, Where ther's never a boast or brag, But, should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

The (clean) Girls The (clean) Boys It's been "spa" days at the FiveSibes residence, with last weekend being the girls' turn, and this past weekend was the boys' turn. The bath water was so brown, the groomer said they white pups were "stained." Now there's something we were never told before, but then again, this year they made it their #1 Top Priority to dig every possible inch of backyard dirt into what really resembles a meteorite crater. Mix in a very rainy spring, and there's a recipe for the muddiest mud puddles ever. Thankfully, they cleaned up pretty well!  Paws are looking good, too! All the vampire nails are nice and manicured, and all the boys' shaggies are trimmed neatly. I have to say it's quite a trip to listen to them as they are bathed, blown dry, clipped, and pedicured. Each one brings their own personality to the experience. Harley, our alpha queen, wife to Gibson, and the pups' surrogate mother, morphs in...

Can you help us? Can we come live with you? I recently received word from a colleague that there are two beautiful Siberian Huskies in need of a loving home. Their current Hu-Mom notes, "I am heartbroken to have to look for new homes for my two Siberian Huskies. They are truly a delight and I would keep them forever if it were in any way possible. I have tried to arrange to do so, but have failed. I just can't take them with me on my move (from Atlanta to Alabama) because of an impending, permanent housing situation within a non-dog lover's home...I am desperate to find them new, forever homes within the month. Can you help me in any way?"  If we could all reach out to all our network of Husky contacts and Sibe-loving friends to see if they have room in their hearts and homes for these two beauties, I know it will help their Hu-Mom immensely. If you could please repost, link, reTweet, and share this with everyone you know, it would be greatly appreciated. H...

I recently heard about " Operation Roger...Truckers Pet Transport " from a friend, and when I learned more about them, I just had to share!  Operation Ranger...Truckers Pet Transport is a non-profit organization that consist of "regional and long-haul truckers who volunteer their time to transport needy pets as they do their regular jobs of delivering freight across the country." How wonderful is that? Please visit their website and Facebook page to find out more about these truckers who are helping pets across the nation. They have transported 568 pets since their formation almost six years ago. Their mission: "To help rescues get pets to new homes and individuals retrieve pets they've had to leave behind."  Their goal: "To get known to more drivers so we can in turn help rescue groups and individuals who spend so much of their time and energy in saving pets from being put to sleep because of over crowding, or rescuing them from ba...
