This week's Flashback Friday dates back eight years and is of our Harley enjoying her very first snowfall!

"Oh, the music in the air! An' the joy that's ivrywhere - Shure, the whole blue vault of heaven is wan grand triumphal arch, An' the earth below is gay Wid its tender green th'-day, Fur the whole world is Irish on the Seventeenth o' March!" ~Thomas Augustin Daly ☘ ☘ ☘ ☘ ☘ ☘ ☘      Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Nicole Forto of Team Ineka in the Willow Junior 100 Race in Alaska So many things attracts a person to the sport of mushing: the love of sled dogs, the great outdoors, the cold, the snow, the beauty of the countryside, the challenge against nature, and the sheer feeling of freedom of being out on the trail just musher and his or her dogs. Musher, trainer, and canine behaviorist Robert Forto  - also my co-host on "The Sibe Vibe " - has been hitting the snow-covered trails now that the sledding season is in full swing in Alaska. He also has plans of preparing for his first Iditarod race, hopefully in 2014 , and hits the trails at every opportunity to practice, as well as training for upcoming races. Team Ineka is a long distance Siberian Husky/Alaskan Husky racing team driven by Forto and his teenage daughter and junior musher, Nicole.  Robert Forto running  Team Ineka     Recently, I had the pleasure of turning the mic on Robert when...

Today is a very special day here in our FiveSibes™ home...it's our Harley's 8th Birthday - the leader of our pack! Woo! It's so hard to believe that it was eight years ago today we brought the tiny little eight-week old pup with the intense mask and bright blue eyes home! This beautiful sassy little pup - who captured my daughter's heart immediately (ours too) -  grew into a beautiful, super smart, and still sassy adult, and is credited with being the first, and future leader, of the FiveSibes! After Harley became part of our family, we definitely came down with the Siberian Husky Potato Chip Syndrome! At the time, we had a then 13-year-old rescued Akita/German Shepherd, Chelsey, who we had since a pup, and she was sadly starting to get Canine Alzheimer's and arthritis, and pup Harley was just too rambunctious and rough for her, so Hu-Dad suggested getting Harley a play mate...and that's when Gibson joined our family and he has had a mad crush on Harley sinc...
