Yes, another rainy night, and on and off today it is also predicted! If I were, to be honest, which I do try to be, we really, really do need all the rain we can get to make up for all those deficits we incurred during the first part of the month! Oops, according to what I just found we are not having any drought issues..., https://www.weather.gov/tbw/droughtinfo Sorry for any misinformation. Although I do believe at one point this year we may have had some?
In inches the night before last we had 2.13 inches and last night 1.35, and the day isn't over! This entire week is predicted to be a rainy one on and off!
Moving on...
The rain stops us in our tracks for outdoor things, like yard work or swimming, due to thunder and lightning that usually accompanies our storms. A common expression down here in Florida..., "Thunder roars move indoors!"
Did you know in your car it is NOT your rubber tires that prevent danger from lightning while driving in a storm, it is the body of the car? But still being in a stable immovable structure is your safest bet! https://carfromjapan.com/article/driving-tips/the-ultimate-guide-to-safe-driving-in-a-thunderstorm/#:~:text=Apart%20from%20seeking%20shelter%20in%20a%20house%2C%20your,metal%20frame%20of%20the%20car%20to%20the%20ground.
Due to extremely cloudy skies, at sunrise again there was no glorious, or any other sunrise to photograph!
You can blame Mother Nature, or Jason, our meteorologist, with NBC-2, our weekday morning guy in Ft. Myers, Florida! LOL!
The only reason I said that was due to him apologizing the other day for the clouds since I could not send him a morning sunrise either! LOL!
Nice young fellow, usually responds to whatever I send him.
And so we must go, for now ...
I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me, in the crate at the adoption site, that day, what she thought I should be named. And without hesitation, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,... some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid about me, I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but... as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though I tip the scales at around seventy pounds, HA! I must admit, a very big one!
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. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.
Please don't forget me, I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven most days, even later! I enjoy a good tug-of-war on the ropes that 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 was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living-room window, so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening?
The animal control lady was 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 being, that if no one claimed me, I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!
Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
