"Gibbie Snacks," named after my Gibson and created by Vermont bakers at House Woof All Natural Dog Biscuits were formulated with the Epi-dog in mind, but are healthy, delicious bakery-made treats for all dogs! They never contain any preservatives, salt, wheat, or rosemary (all very important for Epi-dogs and dogs with allergies). Please remember to order some today for your dog's Thanksgiving treat and Christmas stocking or holiday gift ~ and the best part? It's a gift that gives back! (These freeze extremely well...if they stick around long enough!)   For every bag that House Woof sells of "Gibbie Snacks," they will donate $1 to TheWally Foundation~Canine Epilepsy . The Wally Foundation offers possible financial assistance for epilepsy medication to families/rescues/fosters of dogs diagnosed with idiopathic Canine Epilepsy. This is a great foundation and has helped so many Epi-dogs families already! I'm proud to be one of their volunteer Case Man...

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! ...
