My article in 4Knines It's that wonderful time of year - when the air becomes crisp, the tree leaves turn beautiful colors, and it's apple and pumpkin picking season!  While we know pumpkin is healthy for our dogs, and I highlight five of the great benefits in my article in 4Knines. Our FiveSibes love pumpkin! Stop by my article HERE if you haven't read it yet, and I would love your comments if your dog loves pumpkin, and/or if pumpkin helped alleviate one of the issues discussed in my article.  I'm hungry now! I think I'll go make some pumpkin treats! Back to Blog  Home Page

 I love Flashback Fridays here at FiveSibes! It gives me that time to pause and look back over photos of the past years and relive some very special moments, although bittersweet at times since my sweet Gibson is no longer with us. But, seeing the photos and reliving those amazing moments truly puts a smile on my face. They were glorious moments, a very special time that will be part of my heart forever. I have been blessed to have these beautiful, loving and incredible dogs as part of my family, and what a wonderful life experience to have!   This photo is especially dear as I loved how my FiveSibes always enjoyed relaxing and snoozing near each other. They would always form what I referred to as the "Husky Train" by sleeping in a row next to each other. If I did not have the beds lined up, they would still position themselves in a row! So, I took their hint and always laid the beds down next to each other, per their instructions...

Faith DaBaldo photo by Jeanette DaBaldo There are beautiful scriptures about Faith. Songs of Faith. People have Faith. Faith is such a powerful five-letter word. And this beautiful Siberian Husky, aptly named "Faith," sure embodies the word as she is celebrating her 17th Birthday today! Faith DaBaldo's hu-mom, Jeanette, is a dear friend of mine. I first "met" beautiful Faith and Jeanette when I was hosting a photo contest here on my blog back in 2013. When I saw the photo of Faith decked out in a life jacket swimming in a pool, I thought what a pretty puppy! Only to find out this bright-eyed beautiful Husky "pup" was actually all grown up; a senior dog at 13 years of age! This led to an in-depth conversation about arthritis in senior dogs, alternative therapies, and it not only led to an article I wrote about this, but also forged a special bond of friendship between us. With having chosen alternative care for my Gibson, we chatted much about th...

Us humans sure do love our cofffee here at the FiveSibes homestead! And what's better than a delicious cup of coffee? Coffee with our Siberian Huskies, of course!  Since today is also our Flashback Friday, here's my sweet furangel Gibson celebrating Coffee Day with me from several years ago. I always love taking my morning coffee with my Huskies! Like our mugs in the above photos? The Sibe Vibe ones will be coming soon to our website, and you can buy the embossed Husky mug below. I purchased this mug and it is a fave of mine! Plus, it holds a big 18 oz of java (or tea, soup, ice cream, etc)! Woo!

Woo! Harley, Wolf, Bandit, and Chloe (and furangel Gibson in spirit) here, and we are taking over Hu-Mom's blog today because it's her birthday!!! Woo! The day was pretty cool, well, not as cool as snow, but pretty close! It was Hu-Mom's first birthday as a grandmother, and in our family, the maternal Moms graduate to "Nanny" once the babies are born! So, it was pretty fun with our little hu-brother, Cody, here now!  Cody gave Hu-Mom a cute little stuffed Husky (Hu-Mom really liked that, but so do we, and so does our hu-brother, Cody! Guess there will be some sharing of that Husky stuffie!)  Oh, and there was ice cream cake! Woo! And we all got to share in having some of the vanilla part! Nom-nom-nommmmm! Hu-Mom was pretty excited, too, because it was here very first "Nanny" birthday cake! We are so thankful for so many things: our new little hu-brother, our hu-mom, our pack family, and, oh, woo, the ice cream cake, for sure! Here's some...

The Autumn Equinox teased us into the excitement of cooler temps and crisp days, however, summer does not seem to want to let go of those long hazy, lazy days. She is clinging on, with another day going in the 90s coming tomorrow! I'm with Bandit...hanging out in the air conditioned house with her and the other FiveSibes until Mother Nature realizes it is Autumn's turn to shine! “To say it was a beautiful day would not begin to explain it. It was that day when the end of summer intersects perfectly with the start of fall.” – Ann Patchett Back to Home Page

Today is the Autumn Equinox, marking the official first day of Fall here in the northern hemisphere of the United States! I have to say, it's my very favorite time of year! The stunning colors and crisp air does much for the mind, spirit, and soul! The cooler temps sure do please the Huskies, too, of course! I mean, northern breed by nature, they love it when the thermometer drops! My FiveSibes have that extra bit of energy and spend less time lounging and more time playing! Today, I'm flashing back a few years to this fun pic of my sweet angel boy, Gibson, who was having a blast rolling in the falling leaves. Always the silly boy, the comedian of the bunch, he always manged to brings smiles to everyone's face - and in this trip down Memory Lane, he once again reminds me of his zest for life and silly Siberian Husky nature! "No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace, As I have seen in one autumnal face." ~John Donne ...
