Marshall Gentleman Gib is in town! Yee-hah! What a fantastic day today is!!! First, it's the FiveSibes Hu-Nanny's 94th Birthday!!! Woooo! And what better way to celebrate than cowgirl-style in our Blogville's Rodeo! The horses are saddled up, we've packed up our gear, and ready to head out on the trails for a some good ol' fashioned cowboy and cowgirl fun! So let's move 'em on up, ride 'em out, and keep those doggies movin' as we head on out on the range for some rodeo fun! My father was a cowboy in Montana during his youth when he was serving in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCCs). In his spare time, he "broke in" - trained - wild mules and horses. When I was 11,  my family traded in the city life and moved to upstate New York and on a parcel of 10-acres of land. Right after our house was built, the first thing my dad did was bring home some horses! Our very first one - Tennessee - was a 23-year-old Standardbred Pacer who was sl...

We are Sending Heartfelt Condolences to the Rockin da Huskies Family

Image
Graphic Source: Rockin da Huskies Hearing the devastating news that the Twete Family of Rockin' da Huskies , Rockin' da Moots , Rockin' da Rescue , Rockin da Shirts , suffered a devastating loss this past weekend when their beautiful daughter/sister, Cat Twete, was killed in an auto accident, it was just unimaginable. Rockin da Huskies has been iconic in the rescue and northern breed world, and so many of us have at least one (or many) Rockin shirt, decal, or product in our closet. They have so generously helped many rescues, auctions, and causes, including our own FiveSibes #LiveGibStrong K-9 Epilepsy Fundraiser this past November. While we do not know them personally, but rather through our social media Husky "neighborhood," we all, through our love of dogs, do feel very connected to each other in our community, and we feel the loss of one of its members. It just breaks my heart to know the pain this family is going through and we can only send out our heart...
