That's all I got for today!
In my opinion, that's plenty to discuss!
Let me introduce you to the crew...
Aussie, say good day!
I am Aussie, not from Australia, but American-made.
I will comply because it is fun and say good day!
I am called Aussie because my mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl looking at me in the crate I was in at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named. Mom asked her age, but not her name... ha! And without hesitation, the teenager had said Aussie! By the way, she was just looking, so my mom did not steal me from her.
We never found out the girl's name; mom liked Aussie too. Since then, we have discovered that it is a ubiquitous name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon, even say unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd, a red Merl. And here is an interesting factoid about me: I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but as you might know, I AM NOT! I am a standard Australian Shepherd! Although I am now five years old, I am the baby, though I am the largest of the fur babies, and due to my breed and being standard, I am just right, ha!
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken- out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter.
Above is my PIC, taken on the birthday I share with my dad, but dad is much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, on February 16, 2018, on Dad's brother's birthday.
Hello, I am Bella, in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie. I might be seven years old. We are all rescues, so no one knows our ages for sure. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that accompany that! Being the only girl has its rewards as well as its difficulties.
I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog it had been said that I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18 on clear out the shelters day!
My record called me Belle, so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!

Hey, wait! Please don't forget me! I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am eight years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps late with Dad, till after seven most days, even later sometimes!
I enjoy a good tug-a-war on the ropes Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays, too! I was the last to be adopted on January 23, 2020.
I had been wandering the neighborhood for days, and then I saw Aussie and Bella in their living room window, so I hung out there...
The animal control lady had been called and came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason is that if no one claimed me, "I want to give him a second chance!" So that is how I got the name Chance!
The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening.
Easy as Aussie, Bella, and Chance, now you got it! In order of adoption!

Look who's watching... by population alone, when they stop my numbers go down...!
Some might ask why they are watching, and I have a theory...to get snippets of American politics where other more legitimate news media have better security on who does and does not get their well-documented and researched information... let's face it mine is second hand at best, but still legit from very legitimate resources!
Anywho, every few months it makes me stand back and wonder why am I doing this, and although my ego takes a hit my resolve does not... as always I am doing this selfishly to hear myself deal with all the ups and downs in life, my own sounding board!
I started this blog two years after I was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis at the idea suggested by my older wiser cousin Lionel who has since passed on... one of his seven beautiful brilliant children had started one too!
My supposition now is the timeframe that it is due to when I did join Facebook also in 2008, put me in contact with most of my twenty-five first cousins that were still alive...! Since then two of them had passed on Audry, Lionel's older sister and my Dad's favorite of his nieces he would say...! Dad was one of six and Mom was the eldest of five, thus all those cousins.
Unfortunately, I have lost three friends, one from a long illness of diabetes and kidney failure, and the other two were perfectly healthy, one fell and hit her head, and the other had a sudden brain bleed too, an aneurysm! So weird when I think about it...
Both were still living up north independently.
Not to mention things happening nothing to do with Facebook people or fur babies!
My fifteenth anniversary of doing this was this past June.
I suppose this blog has been through many presidential elections, life issues, personal and not so much, etc., etc...!
The funny thing is that I did not go anywhere near fashion all these years, only briefly mentioning that I did put together luncheon fashion shows for the Arthritis Foundation where I volunteered for ten years. That was my background and education I had modeled from the age of six on and off for department stores and I went to LIM in NYC which was actually at the time Fashion Marketing, where we were also taught journalism, advertising, business law, art history, interior design, etc.
Due to making the Dean's list my parents supported my summer of 1969 trip through that college to Europe to Dublin Ireland, London England, St. Andrews Scotland, Paris/Versaille France, Amsterdam Netherlands, Barcelona Spain and Lisbon Portugal. Yes, while many of my age were enjoying Woodstock and all that making history entailed I was in Europe seeing older-than-US history and actually widening my horizons and views of the world...! A win-win for most nineteen-year-olds!
(The eighth country I visited that I mentioned in my bio on Facebook... in 1960 was Canada as a mere child of ten with my parents after going to Niagra Falls and going over to the Canadian side of the falls then. But when I was fifteen my Dad retired and drove us across the country seeing those forty states and stopping overnight or longer in many of them during an eight-week journey from NJ to LA and San Francisco stopping in many places along the way in both directions and back to NJ!)
Ahhh, memories are spurred by happenings good or bad, and this is my outlet for depositing them before all is lost! Someday someone might find these bits and bites interesting, not boring? Good luck with that!
