Late today!

 

That is for writing on time my own self-imposed earlier time of writing this blog!

You see, I feel more alert in the mornings and that is why I switched months ago.

But that said, and so doing things in my mind that I believe should be done also early like Hubby taking down all the bedroom faux wood 2" wide slatted blinds from the bedrooms, and me filling the tub with detergent and bleach as well as baking soda, used to fight against our very hard water!!!

Did I tell you I finally got those dryer balls? Well, I did! At first, I couldn't find any but the wool ones, and I am very allergic to wool! Then I found the blue textured ones and it was love at first sight! They look more like dog or cat toys than dryer-balls, in that electric blue color!

They came in a set of four and supposedly last FOREVER, I always leave one in the dryer that is why you are only seeing three. Very inexpensive when you think about how long they last...FOREVER! The price was around six bucks on Amazon. 

I found a use for that textured cashew jar I transformed a few months ago!

I forgot to take pictures of the weird blind cleaning process that I have been doing for years, first the tub, then on the fence to squirt with clean water and let dry, then put back up.

These days Hubby has to help me, but in the old days, I did it myself.

All clean and put back now!

Would have gone into the pool, but it was too cold due to colder overnight temperatures.

Moving on...

Surfside Florida Champlain Condo Towers death toll is sadly up to 95 with around twenty still not accounted for.

Moving on once again...

This morning's sunrise...

And so we must go, for now ...

Please be smart, as well as safe.

Have a very pleasant day.

Count those blessings, and we will too!

Next time, please be here or be square, ya hear!

Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not being from Australia, but American-made, I will comply anyway, for the fun of it,... so I will say good day!

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.

3 months................................................ 3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018. (Although, the actual date this blog started was June 25, 2008.) 

Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           

Hello, I am Bella in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as difficulties... We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear out the shelters' day!Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!

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-a-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!
