“Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.” ~ Karen Davison Today, we are joining the Be the Change for Animals Blog the Change and with October being "Adopt A Shelter Dog Month" what more of a perfect time to talk about bringing awareness to the millions of dogs that enter shelters every year. As an advocate for the ASPCA , we here at FiveSibes wish to talk about adopting a dog from a shelter, whether it's a cute puppy, a 'tween, and especially senior dogs.   My previous two angels, Sandy (above left with my daughter when she she was a toddler) and Chelsey (above right with my daughter when she was a teenager) were both adopted as puppies from our local SPCA. While I grew up in a household full of dogs and had my own as a teenager, our  Sandy, a golden German Shepherd/Chow mix (I suspect a little Husky in there), was the first dog my husband and I welcomed in our home as a married couple. ...

I'm excited to talk about a new book about the precious human-animal bond from a fellow author and wonderful story teller, Peggy Frezon, titled, Faithfully Yours, The Amazing Bond Between Us and The Animals We Love!

Want to hear the rest of Zander's story and many other ones in Peggy's book about the wonder and blessing of a pet's devotion? Then please do check out Faithfully Yours. You will want one for your library! "In the natural world,...

In the name of joy, happiness, and excitement, I am not going to bury the lead here today because we are so thrilled to send out big Happy Birthday woos and wishes to our very special furpal, my "furniece," and Wolf's sweetheart (and yes, they met online and fell in love at first "woof!")...the very beautiful Faith DaBaldo who turned 15 years young today!
