Hotkey below for the whole story!!!

Why oh why cannot he and our so-called last president be held responsible for the massive death toll from COVID, and our Gubernator who is continuing to promote careless life-threatening behavior and the deaths continuing too?

Who is in charge of those charges???

Please call them out and hold them accountable!!!

They have done nothing good for America nor Florida!!!

Moving on...

I had my CT scan yesterday and so far no news is good news?

Okay, so it's only 9:10 A.M.the day after and the radiologist has to read it and then notify my doctor before I get that call...!

So I wait like everyone else does for such results that are not a matter of life and death.

Life and death take priority as well they should!

No news there.

I did have a better sleep night for the last two!

Moving on...

Hubby is again mowing the lawn...!

But it has been a week and we are in the rainy/hurricane season.

Moving once more...

It is the 17th anniversary and interestingly it also was a Friday the thirteenth when Hurricane Charley hit our areas here. Our home was basically destroyed, we maxed out our insurance to rebuild and yet Hubby did most of the work! We were back in our home and out of the FEMA trailer alongside our home within four months. Actually only two months in the FEMA trailer, it took two months to acquire it at that time. The trailer was covered by insurance too, living expenses, no freebie, we paid $600 a month for a very small one.

The problem was Charley missed its mark and we were totally unprepared, it was supposed to go one hundred miles to our north to Tampa, but at the last minute chose to make a right-hand turn straight for us!!! It was category four with 145 MPH winds, the second-highest at the time.

Oh recently, like now, you may have heard about tropical depression Fred, he is going to be a rainmaker, and for us who do not flood, that's not an issue, and with winds around 45MPH, then considered a tropical storm again, no big deal here. We have daily storms that can be that fierce!

The only concern could be a rogue tornado... also rare here, but it has happened.

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!
