Pool Party ! Nothing spells summer here quite like the sound of excitement that occurs when the FiveSibes pools are brought out and filled up with water! Always the first in (even to this very day) is our alpha bathing queen, Harley, while our sweet furangel Chloe would always tip-toe around the pool, preferring to keep her paws dry!  Today's summertime Flashback Friday travels down Memory Lane to eight years ago during the Summer of 2011! All of my FiveSibes were together as one big, happy furry family having a splashing good time in their pools (with a little added water effect to hopefully get you in the mood) for some summertime Sibe soaking fun! Oh, what a wonderful time we all had making such marvelous memories to last the summer...and for a lifetime. "Friends, sun, sand, and sea,  that sounds like a summer to me." ~Unknown Flashback Photos ~ Summer of 2011 Here's a little summer tune for you from 1958...bet we'll have you humming it...

With loss, comes not only grief, but reflection. And after losing our pack sweeheart, Chloe, back in June, it has certainly made this summer one of reflection. While as loving pet parents, we all know it is hard to wade through the sad sea, but it is also very comforting to remember the joy and happiness our dogs brought, and bring, to our lives; the very basis of our #FlashbackFriday blog hops.  The Queen reigns over the pool! This past week has seen some scary signs for our eldest Husky and our beautiful alpha queen, Harley, who is now 14.5 years old. Logically, I know it is wonderful she is 14.5 and am very aware of her shortening path in life, but seeing her face and communicating with her on a whole other level since she went deaf, is something quite miraculous. How she adapted is always a wonder to me. This past week saw her take a pretty big decline, but thankfully, she is still here with us! Her arthritis pain seem to really peak, and she was having a difficult time....

D ogs love to socialize and make friends with other dogs, whether they are out on walks, romping in the dog park or hanging out at a daycare. Doggy daycare centers began trending in the 1990s under the same concept that holds true for childcare centers—to offer people a safe and interactive place for their babies to be, whether for a few hours, the day, or overnight.

Drury s hares what she believes is the most important thing to look for when searching for doggie daycare centers. “ The most important thing is to ‘shop around.’ Go visit different daycares and ask questions to help y...
