It is so incredible to think today marks my #FiveSibes twelfth year of sharing the life of my five Siberian Huskies, a/k/a the FiveSibes: Harley, Gibson, Wolfgang, Chloe, and Bandit; as well as news on the Siberian Husky breed; information on Canine Epilepsy after my boy Gibson was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy; and sharing my articles on all things canine! My very first FiveSibes blog post was on this date in 2010 and it was a short piece about February's Pet Dental Health month featuring my alpha queen Harley and her pearly whites!     The original FiveSibes blog portrait!      Award-Winning Blog   I'm also so very proud of my blog's recognitions over the years, including multiple "Excellence" Maxwell Medallions from the prestigious Dog Writers of America Association, Feedspot's "Best Husky Blog on the Planet," consistently named "Top Siberian Husky Website," Named "Best 1AwardUK's "Best on the Web," Blog Top Si...

Wow! And in the language of Siberian Huskies, "Wooooo!" Today, we mark 11 years of blogging here at FiveSibes! It all began with my beautiful pack of five Siberian Huskies, hence the name FiveSibes - our first and the alpha queen herself, Harley; my sweet wooly Epi-boy Gibson, and our five littermates, the "Pupsters Wolfgang, Chloe, and Bandit! As a career writer, I took the plunge in February of 2010 and posted my very first blog article on Pet Dental Health Month featuring our alph queen, Harley, and her pearly whites! Very First FiveSibes Blog Post!   When I first embarked upon writing this blog and writing about daily life shared with my beloved FiveSibes, as well as all things canine, never did I imagine I would be doing for more than a decade! I also never thought I'd be writing this - our 11th Blogiversary - with only one of my original (OG) pack remaining, my boy Wolfie. While this has been an amazing journey, it is hard to believe that the heydays of FiveSib...

Wow! Five years! On this date in 2010, I debuted my very first FiveSibes post for National Pet Dental Health Month featuring our alpha queen Harley!  My very first FiveSibes blog post in 2010! It's been such a great ride and I look forward to continuing sharing this written and photographic journey with my FiveSibes with you. Harley, Gibson, Wolf, Chloe, Bandit, and myself just love being part of the Blogville community. As an author and photojournalist by trade, as well as being a former horse trainer and riding instructor, and always a dog parent and trainer, it was a natural segue for me to turn my pen and camera lens to writing about my love of dogs, specifically, my five Siberian Huskies. My FiveSibes are such a source of joy and inspiration (and a lot of chuckles, too, with their Sibe silliness), and I am so thrilled to have this great forum to share it all on. I take a lot of pride in my writing and photography, and enjoy the marriage of my love for dogs with my lo...

Four years ago today we debuted our FiveSibes™ blog featuring our alpha queen, Harley, flashing her pearly white Sibe smile in our very first post "February is Canine Dental Health Month!"    It's so hard to believe it's been four years already - I guess what they say is so true, time does indeed fly when you're having fun.
