I seemed to have been missing an enormous amount of readership...! https://tobi-adayinthelife.blogspot.com/

 

Apparently, when I have been thinking that I am posting my blogs many are just receiving my quips or blurbs that are going nowhere else than that???

They are not the substantive base of my writings, if I do accomplish that daily, heaven knows I do try! ( Now going on fourteen years! )

So from now on when I post anywhere I will have to make sure that access via my hotkey will be there for any who might be interested in a more in-depth soliloquy.

Who would have thought that so much would be going on to discuss...?

Horrifically as I was writing yesterday morning Haiti was experiencing another horrendous earthquake, 7.2!!! Over three hundred dead at this writing, and 1800 injured!!! Thankfully, Tropical Storm Grace will not be hurting them too!

Afghanistan is being taken over but after twenty years of teaching the people of that country, not to sound too unkind but they should know what to do by now!!!

Hopefully, the world will not have to pay for their inabilities to take care of their homeland after twenty years of schooling!!!

Biden's hands were tied metaphorically, damned if he did or damned if he didn't get out!!!

On our local front with COVID in Florida, our numbers of cases are the highest of anyone's daily!!! Our Gubernator has still not made a decision to chose life over his compadre X-so-called Pres. DJ attitude about masking up and being safe, despite the high rate of children and the unvaccinated dying!!! I guess if his idol told him to jump off a bridge he would do that too!!!

Think for yourself man!  

We have been lucky so far as the weather goes where we are in southwest Florida, no flooding nor too much rain or any winds to be concerned with, despite Fred, although he as well as Grace appear to be missing us, thankfully!

But the hurricane season is only about halfway through...!

Sunrise has been extremely cloudy, although I did take a couple of pictures anyways...

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. 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 was 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!
