The "Pupsters" watching the rain fall on the deck. "Together, forever, through rain or whatever...you and me." ~Natalie Cole Shadow Shot Sunday 2

It's another Flashback Friday and time to stroll down Memory Lane together! Here's our alpha queen "Harley" adjusting immediately to becoming the Pupsters' momma. She has loved them and cared for them from the moment we brought them home as if they were her own. She embraced her role and is a wonderful surrogate momma and the only real mom the pups ever knew. Watching her interact with them when they were pups, and now that they are all grown up, is truly a wonderful example of love.  ❤ "A mother's love is instinctual, unconditional, and forever." ~Unknown Join us!

Wolf with an invite "thought bubble!" You're Invited! Show us your "Things Our Dog Are Thinking" photos and join in the fun! Many of you have seen the recent hottest trend in pet photos that crossing TV screens and the Internet and is called "shaming"... it's where there are photos of pets with white signs and text - or text written over the photo - that explains what the pet in the photo could be doing or could have done or is thinking. We decided here we'd like to create a slideshow video showing our pets in all of their glory by hosting a "Things Our Dog Are Thinking" as opposed to "Shaming" (because we really don't like that title). We are never ashamed of our dogs for doing what comes naturally to them (including chewing up our window sills, sunglasses, shoes, and deck rails), but they do do some silly, funny, and creative antics that we can all relate to as pet parents, and I thought it would be fun to creat...

Be the Change! Join in! Today is Blog the Change for Animals and I’d like to take this time to talk about something important - feeding healthy treats to our furry friends. Lately, there are many (too many) recalls of dog treats and warnings of not giving treats made in China to our dogs, as there has been a reported high (too high) number of dogs becoming sick and many even dying after ingesting treats in question. The FDA is looking into cases reported, but until all treats in question are actually pulled from the shelves of stores, our pets remain in possible grave danger. In an effort to help spread the word and hopefully prevent any more pets from dying and getting sick, we’ d like to share a few very informative websites and some great homemade safe treat recipes for our furkids. Here are some important pages to follow: Dog Food Advisor (you can sign up for recall alerts). U.S. Food & Drug Administration Animal Parents Against Pet Treats a...

Oh, what a wonderful day it was in April of 2008 when we added the three "Pupsters" to our family! Here's baby Bandit, Chloe, and Wolfgang the day they came home! Is it any wonder we couldn't leave any of these sweet babies behind? And, with the addition of these three cuties to our family that already included Harley and Gibson...they officially became the "FiveSibes!" "When you look at your life,  the greatest happinesses are  family happinesses."   ~Joyce Brothers We hope you'll join us by posting a pic of your furbabies and linking up to our hop. Then, let's visit each other's blog to stroll down Memory Lane and see all the cute babies! What a great kick-off to the weekend!

Chloe is in England.  Harley is wearing stilettos.  Are you curious yet?  Hope so!   We have Sibes, we have stilettos, and we have some surfing, some partying, and a fabulous read... Still curious? Today, we are going to have some fun! We are off "surfing the 'Net in stilettos" as we join the book launch party for Carol E. Wyer - author of Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines , and the fabulously funny Facing 50 With Humour blog, who has just released her second book, Surfing in Stilettos and has invited everyone to come celebrate at her book release party! Now since Carol resides in the United Kingdom, she has made access to her book party super easy - it's an online celebration, and you can even chat with other folks from all over while you enjoy some virtual mingling and sipping of refreshments. And don't fret about the time difference, the party does on all day so no matter where you live, you c...
