Flashback Photo: Gibson & Harley ~ my silly "Reindogs"   Christmas 2007  Snow Globe by Dorothy Wills-Raftery As the snow flakes gently fall in glistening memories of yore, I close my eyes oh-so-tight wishing for so much more. O' golden hours of summer And fall's crisp days aglow Such wonderful memories we made Especially in winter's snow. Time is much akin to snow arriving in beauty and peace giving precious moments of joy before the snow visits cease. Within that moment of quiet time encased in our heart's glass dome The spirit is so brightened For you are forever home. ~ Did you enter our Husky Coffee Giveaway?

You probably know all about the Elf on a Shelf that has been taking over homes during the Christmas season by storm, and here, Santa Paws has been peeking in to see if our grandson and our FiveSibes pupsters Wolfie and Bandit have been naughty or nice this Christmas season. We assure Santa that excitement is growing for his big appearance on December 25th, and everyone has been on his Nice List! But just to be sure...he checked in for himself, then gave a wink before slipping back out to the North Pole! I think the Elf was having a bit of fun riding my grandson's Husky dog stuffie! *This post includes an Amazon affiliate links, which simply means if you click on the link and make a purchase, we will receive a small compensation at no extra cost to you!  If you'd like one of these sweet fluffy FAO Schwarz plushie Huskies (yes, THAT FAO Schwarz...the wondrously magical huge toy store of New York City's Fifth Avenue fame (now at Rockefeller Plaza)...or if you have not ...

Many who know me know my love of both Siberian Huskies and coffee. Yep, I’m a java nut and truly enjoy a good cup of joe. I mean, what writer doesn't like (or need) coffee?? (I do realize not every single wordsmith shares my caffeine passion, but many do, and to me, coffee rules!) As a career author and photo-journalist, there are so many beyond-midnight and all-nighter deadlines, that coffee is my best friend. As Lorelei Gilmore of the famed Gilmore Girls TV show stated, "I need coffee in an IV!"   My days always start with brewing up coffee as I bid good morning to Wolf and Bandit! With the aroma of coffee filling the air, I am a happy camper. And, if I must admit it, I am a bit of a coffee snob. My coffee HAS to be good! So, when I was contacted by Husky Coffee, I was intrigued! So much so, I had to give it a try! I mean, pass up coffee? No Way! Plus, how can you go wrong with the name “Husky Coffee”—two of my favorite things!   "Woo! Smells goo...

Our FiveSibes™Flashback Photo ~ Christmas 2014 We are happy to be back with our #FiveSibes #FlashbackFriday Blog Hop just in start for the howliday and snowy season, to the tune of 18" of the fresh white sparkling powder! This Christmas will truly be a different one...it is the first Christmas without our alpha queen Harley and pupster Chloe. To suddenly be down to a pack of two is indeed a very strange thing. It's been sad and surreal to go through our daily routine with Wolfie and Bandit and no sister Chloe or "mama" Harley...I still have a hard time without my beloved Gibson, and this month it will be four years he has been celebrating Christmas at the Rainbow Bridge, along with my dear mother. This card sums up my feelings perfectly. Now that our Harley and Chloe have joined them, and as you know from my last post and the reason for our blogging break, it has been very difficult to adjust to their passing both for me and for my pupsters Wolf and...
