Summer 2015 FiveSibes Flashback ~ My boy, Gibson   Oh, my sweet boy Gibson...unbeknownst to me at the time, this was to be his last summer here was with us. Oh, how Gib loved the pool! And, when he wasn't splashing around with the rest of the FiveSibes, he loved to just chill poolside in front of the fan! This particular morning, I was enjoying a cup of coffee out on the deck, with Gibbie lying by my feet. Even now, when I close my eyes, I can still feel his weight and soft wooly fur upon my toes, and I smile for awhile at the dear memory.   "Looking at old photographs brings back memories and makes us feel nostalgic; it is like time machine bringing us to the time and places where we can see and feel everything in details." ~Author Unknown         You're Invited...to a Blog Hop!     Come join us each week and share your fave Memory Lane pics from yesteryear or yesterday!

Okay, so our Huskies won't be wearing them like our FiveSibes Wolf here, but they are so cute, I couldn't wait to buy mine! But do hurry, styles are running out of stock! See further below in this post for how you can buy one or a few of these masks that will help Huskies in need, and help you keep yourself and loved ones to #StaySafe during this Covid-19 pandemic.   While we here at FiveSibes, focus on Siberian Huskies and northern breeds, the Blog Hop is open to ...
