It's been quite the day of Huskies vs. Squirrels here. All ending very badly for the adorable furry rodents that stumbled out of a tree and into our Siberian Husky yard. Yes, while our sweet FiveSibes™ were just relaxing in the Indian Summer warmth on the deck, a sudden commotion accompanied by high pitch yelps could be heard echoing through the land... ...but let me first take you back to earlier in the day when the sun woke up, breaking through the day as the Sibes went outside to greet the morning...and a stray baby squirrel. Oh yes, I said baby. Alpha Queen Harley snatched it quick and no matter how we tried, we could not save that baby squirrel from her strong jaws, which chomped that little baby into a flat, non-breathing "toy." When we managed to get the body away from her, it was missing a part. Just then, we glanced up to see Harley, with the tail in her mouth, pause just a beat before swallowing it whole without batting a blue eye at us. I guess that's ...

My vision of the Rainbow Bridge. This post I'd like to dedicate to a beautiful Siberian Husky who recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge - Kodiak, the furchild of one of our blogpals so many of us have the pleasure of "knowing" - The Thundering Herd. Since hearing the news, I have been thinking a lot about life, our furbabies, and the Rainbow Bridge (and North of the Rainbow Bridge, that I just learned about from The Herd. A special place where Siberian Huskies roam after their life here on earth has passed). We hear of so many passings, yet this one in particular has really touched me.  Chelsey ♥ 1994 - 2007 I have given the FiveSibes more hugs, kisses, and whispers of love in hopes of extending our precious time together. I have reflected back on other dogs I've been fortunate to have part of my life, all of whom I miss to this day. Also many thoughts to my late Chelsey, whom I rescued as a pup from a pound. I wish I had more time with her to do more things w...

“If you're alone, I'll be your shadow.  If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder.  If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow.  If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile.  But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.” ~Edu This week's Shadow Shot is compliments of my daughter who captured this photograph  of our girl, Bandit.

Gibson woooing his birthday and anniversary wishes! The past two days have been special ones here for the FiveSibe's hu-parents. Yesterday was my birthday and today is my husband's and my 30th wedding anniversary! We've received tons of Husky hugs and Sibe kisses from the furkids! Now, there is so much news to share and catch up on today!  I have to share???? First, we had entered a giveaway over at All Things Dog Blog and won! Wow, it was a box of treats that arrived in the mail for the the FiveSibes, who had a blast checking it all out!   The three pupsters had lots of fun sniffing out the goods, curious as to what could be in the box! Gibson even got a turn at sniffing the evidence. Wooooo! It's a whole box of   goodies that made their day! They had a blast playing tug-o-war with the rope twist toy and couldn't get enough of the tasty Cesar softie treats!  The surprise package sure made the FiveSibes' day! Many thanks to A...
