Miss us? We sure do hope so! We all missed you! First up, we are all okay...now. But, we've had a rough time lately. I needed to take a step back from blogging to focus on family as there have been some serious health issues with two of our family members, and sadly, one of them, my father-in-law, who suffered from two strokes has now been diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and has just begun aggressive chemo treatments. Then, one of our FiveSibes, our alpha queen Harley, had a sudden health setback that I hope is now under control, which I will be blogging about in an upcoming post. For now, please know we are back! There are a lot of things coming up to share, including a recap of Harley's recent episode, plus some exiting news, as well as our 3rd Annual FiveSibes™ #LiveGibStrong K-9 Epilepsy Awareness Purple Day® Blog Hop where I hope you will join us and "go purple"then link up with us, our two co-hosts, and others across the globe on March 26 in supp...

My beloved Gibson Always and forever. Today is International Epilepsy Day. For us here at the FiveSibes, it is a day to pay tribute to Epi-dogs and Epi-angels, true warrior dogs who inspire(d) us with their love and zest for life as they live with Canine Epilepsy. To read more about this and my inspirational Epi-angel Gibson, please check out my post HERE .  For important Canine Epilepsy resources and information, please check out my books at ArcticHouse Publishing (with a link to Amazon.)  A portion of sales from both books is donated through my #LiveGibStrong campaign to the Canine Epilepsy Resources/Epil-K9 Foundation's "Emma's Seizure Fund" through the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine Neurology Department. I also want to remind folks that House Woof Dog Bis cu its formulated a special wholesome treat specifically created for the canine epileptic and named "Gibbie Snacks" after my ...

On the Big Game Day - February 5 - UCB will feature an ad in the Super Bowl program advocating for Epilepsy Awareness. From now until then,  you can join in by posting pics of your (and your dog's) "game face" as your Facebook profile pic, tag some friends, and also share your pic on all of your social media with the hashtag #TackleEpilepsy. That's it! And... "UCB will donate $26,000 to the Epilepsy Foundation in honor of #TackleEpilepsy participation!"

Woo! Today is all about the sled dog and our Siberian Husky lovin' household invite you to share in celebration of today by enjoying the following wonderful music video by award-winning singer/songwriter Nancy Simmonds who featured my FiveSibes, along with my "The Sibe Vibe" Dog Works Radio show executive producer and lead musher of Alaska's Team Ineka's sled dogs, in her music video "Husky Dog!" What a special honor for us to have our Siberian Huskies: Harley, Gibson, Wolf, Chloe, and Bandit star in her video set against the awesome song she wrote and performed! So turn up the volume and enjoy the ride!
