Harley Woo! Happy Fourth of July, America! We are wishing all our FiveSibes readers, our “The Sibe Vibe” Dog Works Radio show listeners, furpals, and their families a safe, fun, and happy Independence Day! Here is a short video of our Harley girl getting into the spirit with some patriotic eyewear! And here's the rest of the FiveSibes family joining in to say Happy Fourth of July! Gibson Wolf Chloe Bandit And what's a holiday without a parade? Here's a replay of our fun slideshow  featuring some (p)awesome and very festive furkids and furangels from across America who were featured in our 2011 "Patriotic Pets on Parade" video. We are sure you’ll recognize the FiveSibes, plus some other beautiful furpal faces here, including a few dear furfriends who have since journeyed away. We hope it will bring a smile to your face today. Enjoy!  Have a Happy & Saf...

Please remember that in the upcoming days there will be many Fourth of July activities going on across the U.S.A. and we should be considerate of our pets and how the sights and sounds of fireworks can affect them. Here are a few tips to help keep our pets safe so we can all enjoy a safe and happy holiday. Please be safe and have a very   Happy Fourth of July ! * * * * * * * * * I'd like to dedicate today's blog to two beautiful furpals who have now earned their silver wings... "Thunder" of The OP Pack ...And... "Mustang" Dakota Red of the Beck Family   While we are all watching the fireworks this July 4th, the two brightest, most colorful and beautiful displays will be these two shining Sibe stars letting us know they are celebrating North of the Rainbow Bridge , and will always be with their loved ones in spirit.

Woooooo! It's officially summer in the Northern hemisphere...a time of splashing in pools, barbequing delish foods, romping in the fields, playing in the surf, going for car rides, exploring on vacation, catching frisbees in the park, chasing bugs, eating ice cream, burying bones, snoozing in front of the fan, watching fireworks, and lazing in the shade.  It's also a great time to photograph our beloved canine companions doing what they like best doing the great Summer season. So let's have some fun together! Snap those great shots of your dogs and enter our "Summer Fun Canine Photo Contest!" We have some fab prizes and award certificates for our lucky winners! ( We apologize to all our kitty friends, but this one's for the doggies! )   Here's the Submission Rules: We'd love for you to follow (if you don't already) our blog here, our FiveSibes: Siberian Husky K9 News & Reviews page , and our Twitter page (@FiveSibesMom) , ...

We are thinking of our beautiful Blogger furpal, Thunder, of The OP Pack who is not doing well. I'm sure by  now you've heard the heartwrenching news that Thunder may have cancer and IMHA. If you haven't had the chance yet, please stop over to visit the Chronicle of Woos to get the latest update and leave them a message of love and support during this very difficult time. We send loving woos and prayers to Thunder and hu-family along with the hopes of healing comfort and strength for Thunder in the days ahead. Thunder, we love you! And, yes, we believe in miracles. We are sending you lots of woos and positive wishes. Here our Wolf and Harley are sending their woos to you, Thunder. Stay strong, Thunder.

"Woo, the water's fine...won't you join me?"

Wooo! Friday, June 21st is the 15th anniversary of Take Your Dog to Work Day! Now, the FiveSibes are among the "working breed" dogs...but they like to do lots of things besides sledding...they are: Official Taste Testers of all thing snacks,  Quality Control Officers for testing toys,  Professional Snoozers and Lickers,  Assistant Editors for my book projects (Bandit, pictured here, really likes those red pens for chewing, I mean editing!),  TV Specialists (they prefer Animal Planet),  Water Quality Testers (they check out the pool water for temperature and fun-ability), and Linguistics Experts, having perfected the Husky "woo!" They also love to take turns spending time with us in our home office, provided we have a good supply of treats, toys, and oh, yes, a comfy bed! "Woo, Gib, how do you spell Epilepsy?" Pictured here, Bandit has joined Gibson as part of my editorial team. She is proofing lots of stories sent in for my latest book...
