S-n-o-w! Is there a better word for a Siberian Husky to hear? With the forecasts calling our area's first "snow" of the season, accompanied by arctic-like weather caused by the polar vortex, one can only think of snow! While I'll confess that the Husky kids are going to be a bit more excited than me about the snow, I do have some worries this year with Harley having a new diagnosis of arthritis in her rear right leg and Gibson having his continued hind end weakness, a ramp covered in slippery snow does cause some concern. But I know when the beautiful fluffy flakes of sparkling white fall from the sky in a beautiful silent world, I will enjoy it the beauty and the peace. This photo is a flashback to two years ago when all 20 paws were happily and healthily on the ground together enjoying a fresh snowfall!     Tomorrow - Saturday, November 15 - at 8 PM EST, our FiveSibes #LiveGibStrong K-9 Epilepsy Awareness online auction will close! ...

Our resident couple had in-home laser treatments together, a kind of Siberian Spa Day! Gibson receives it for his weakened hind end (from his epilepsy meds) and arthritis in his knees from his meniscus and CCL tears, while Harely has been diagnosed with arthritis in her right leg. The laser is amazing and I've been a huge advocate of it for years now. If you look closely, you'll see that Gibson enjoys his treatments so much, he actually fell asleep while vet tech Jess administered it!

  Today is Veterans Day. Let us all please take a moment to reflect upon all of our veterans, past and present, two-legged and four-legged, those who bravely defended our country, those who gave their lives, as well as those currently serving. If you see a veteran, remember to say "Thank You" for his/her service. Since this is a canine blog, we'll be focusing on the four-legged veterans and their dedication and service. And a great way to honor our military working dogs is to stop by a local shelter and make a donation of food, treats, goods, or money in the name of a K9 soldier. This year, 2014, marks a very special Veterans Day in the canine world as military canines became part of the New York Veterans Day Parade! An honor over due! According to ABC News, "New York's Veteran's Day parade a/k/a "America's Parade," honored all veterans, even the canine ones. For the first time in the parade's history, six military dogs...

Many of you know and have followed Gibson's treatments for weak hind end issues, including his current bout of right rear leg lameness. K-Laser therapy administered by my veterinarian staff is just amazing and has really helped Gibson with the side effects from the meds such as weak hind end issues, strained muscles, torn CCLs, and arthritis. Since one of Gibson's Epilepsy medications are Phenobarbital, which can affect the liver, it's very important for me to not overload him with more medications for his liver to have to process. It's a great non-invasive holistic method of healing. Below is the video we created of Gibson receiving his treatment, which is like a spa day for him! If you haven't thought about laser therapy, check with your vet about this being an option for your dog.
