Better late than never... 16 hours ago!





The title today is about this below article/hotkey that came out after yesterday's blog with the outcome of the decision of the suit against our Gubernator about his no mask compliance or else decree!!! Read it, and I am sure most will like it as Hubby and I do. Although we have no children in the school system we are with the most intelligent parents! Or at the minimum common sense ones.

Moving on...

As Hurricane Ida rushes towards the middle gulf states, with its eye centered once horrifically again on Louisianna, specifically New Orleans... ironically on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina...! It is predicted to be a CAT 4 when it arrives sometime tomorrow night or wee hours of the morning.

Our prayers go with all those residents and hopefully, most have evacuated in the areas that were mandated to do so!

They seem to never catch a break sadly😢!

We, on the other hand, are waiting for the other shoe to drop since we have been very lucky so far... no storms have hit here in a while.

Moving on once again...

Hubby's progress on the invasive trees removal; cluster two has come down, only one more cluster is left!

The first picture shows the broken tree trunk next to the last cluster, then the second shows the height and location of the last cluster that needs to come down. Apparently, each had three trees in them, thus the reasoning for calling them clusters. The bushes are vines that you see in the area behind the pond garden they are jasmine and honeysuckle of two types they are quite healthy and are wrapped around and through our old chainlink fence that used to close off the canal from our home. We at one time had a 16' arbor with gates there that Hurricane Charley took! Quite pretty. With an octagon Gazebo in white with lattice and paddle fan and flower boxes too, all demised from Hurricane Charley!!!





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 she was asked 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. 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! 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, which 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, on his brother's birthday.
3 months................................................ 3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018.
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! 

Speaking My Mind: Interesting familiar diagnosis for one and horrifi...
