   #Flashback ~ Miss America Harley ~ 2014 It's incredible to think that America was born just 248 years ago, and that this video of our beautiful alpha queen "Harley" is now a from a decade ago. Time is very surreal. As you can tell from this video, I believe Harley knew she was a patriotic princess because once I slid the blinking red, white & blue glasses on her, she not only kept them on, but she posed like the beautiful queen she was! Oh, it does my heart good to reflect upon all the fun and amazing times I shared with my beloved FiveSibes. I hope you all had a safe and Ha ..read more

     Iknew I was going to really like A. Piper Burgi's book, Living with Canine Epilepsy, as soon as began reading the first page. As many of you know, one of my beloved FiveSibes, Gibson, was diagnosed with idiopathic Epilepsy shortly after his third birthday and the journey I embarked upon was finding out everything I could so he could live a wonderful life, and he did!    Through that journey, I learned the most common vet recommendation for a dog with epilepsy was euthanization. Yes. As unbelievable as that is, that was the typical suggestion. Keep in mind, this ..read more

FiveSibes #Flashback ~ Baby "Chloe" ~ 2008 Where does the time go? After we lose a beloved pet, we are immersed into a surreal reality...where at first each day feels like a year...and then one day, that year becomes five...FIVE years ago this week on the 22nd, our pack sweetheart, and my daughter's dog, Chloe, earned her furangel wings quite suddenly, and shockingly after she went into sudden severe liver failure. How can it be five years? In some ways, it feels like yesterday, while at the same time, it's been a while since hearing her woos. So today's flashback is in honor of our sweet "C ..read more

 FiveSibes #Flashback ~ 2015 ~ Our pupster girl, Bandit   Oh, Bandit...she was a silly girl indeed. If you've followed my blog for a while, you'll know how she used to love to hide—under dog beds, in the Autumn leaf pile, under snow, and behind our garden growths, as pictured here. I imagine this is how she'd answer my calls to her! (Of course, she could have been thinking "If you don't have a treat, I'm not coming to you!")   What do you think Bandit was thinking?      ♥︎ Memories are Visits for the Heart ♥︎      Join Us!

My FiveSibes enjoyed doughnuts in a slightly different manner, Harley and Gibson had made themselves comfy after we put air in our then new dought-styled pool floats!
