Why We Have Purple Pumpkins on Halloween!

Image
Flashback Photo: Gibson, October 201 5 Gibson, in a favorite photo, 2015, going for the treats!   Since Halloween is right around the corner, I thought it was perfect today to Flashback to when my Epi-Warrior, Gibson, was here and we celebrated with purple pumpkins! Why purple? As part of the Epilepsy Foundation's Purple Pumpkin Project, one of our pumpkins - Gibson's - was purple for Canine Epilepsy Awareness to get people talking about dogs living with seizures.  Flashback Photo: October 2017           We continue to show Gibson's purple pumpkin in both his memory, and for our FiveSibes #LiveGibStrong K-9 Epilepsy Awareness & Education Campaign and #Paws4Purple program with Purple Day® for Epilepsy & The Anita Kaufmann Foundation to show others that these amazing dogs can live a happy life doing whatever non-Epi dogs do, and, like Gib, they love and embrace life so much, it leaves us all truly inspired. So, how did t...

Take-Out on a #FiveSibes Flashback Friday!

Image
Flashback Photo: Autumn 2009 While looking back over photos of my FiveSibes, I came to a favorite (aren't they all?) of mine...and I was amazed that it was from nine years ago already! I remember this day as clear as if  it were yesterday. Time is funny like that, isn't it? I always like opening my kitchen window while using the oven to cool off the house, and always love it when one or all of my FiveSibes pop their head in the window! Sometimes, they even get a treat or two through the window! It always reminds me of a drive-thru window! While I do feature memes on our Merry Meme Monday posts, I could not resist putting words to this photo! Do you have a window your pets love to peek in through? YOU'RE INVITED! Come join in our weekly stroll down Memory Lane in our weekly FiveSibes Flashback Friday Blog Hop! Whether you share a photo of your pet (fave family, vacation, and landscape flashback pics welcome, too) from yesterday or yesteryear, let...

#FiveSibes Merry Meme Monday!

Image
It's Monday, and we're back with our FiveSibes Merry Memes! Periodically, we host a Merry Meme Fun Caption Contest on our FiveSibes: Siberian Husky K9 News & Reviews page, where we feature a fantastic photo submitted by our readers on our social media accounts. Then, after the votes are all in, we turn it into a fun meme for all to share, and we highlight them here on our blog!  Today, we have a double feature! Our most popular contest so far, we had so many votes for the tie-breaker captions, that I am featuring them both! The beautiful star of the photo is "Ruby" the rescued Siberian Husky who is not only a performance dog, but she also is an Epi-dog! As you can see, Ruby does not let having Canine Epilepsy stop her from doing what she loves! You can follow the photographer Aleks HERE. You can follow Arizona Siberian Husky Rescue & Adoption HERE. In this caption, coincidentally another Ruby who is an Epi-dog, weighed in for a caption that c...

Picking a Puffy Pumpkin on a Flashback Friday!

Flashback Photo of Gibson, Autumn 2014 Ohhhh, that face. That sweet face. Gibson's face still melts my heart whenever I see a photo of him. It is hard to believe this is our third Autumn without my big, silly, loving, wooly boy. While Harley is the alpha queen, his true love, and the Pupsters' surrogate momma, Gibson was the glue that held them all together as pack. Where he went, they all followed. If it was chilly, they all huddled around him. If it was hot and he dug a massive hole under our maple tree, they all followed and dug neighboring holes to lay all around him. He was Harley's "hubby" and the Pupsters' big brother. While Huskies are known to be pretty silly, Gibson was the king of making me laugh. And he always seemed to know exactly when a laugh was needed. Even with all his challenges of living with Canine Epilepsy, if he was a human (and at times I believe he thought he was), he would have had a brave smile on his face, making sure everyone ...

Wacky Water Dancing on a Hot Autumn Day!

Apparently Mother Nature does not want summer to be over here in the Northeast, with temps in the high 80s and humidity at almost 100, what's a snow dog to do? While washing down the deck, our alpha queen Harley dove right in for some wacky water dancing! When it's hot out, what makes a better partner than a spray of cool water to cha-cha-cha with?! Are you having wacky weather, too?  We are joining the Pet Parade Blog Hop today, hosted by DashKitten , Bionic Basil , and Barking From The Bayou! ***Many thanks to DashKitten for highlighting our blog today  on The Pet Parade!*** Check it out HERE !   Return to FiveSibes Blog Home Page Visit Our FiveSibes Website

Flashback Photo ~ August 2017 My dear Siberian Huskies...the working breed... If you know Siberian Huskies, they are full of personality and can be pretty silly. It was pretty easy to put words in their canine mouths! I so love these pups. They make TV night (and every day) very entertaining!
