Yesterday the Gubernator did what many feels was the unthinkable...!

 

In this case, they could very well be right! Read the article below, before you judge them or even me.

Ordinarily and mostly even we as parents make decisions that affect our children daily!

Although, when it comes to serious ones, I would like to think that like their health we do rely on the education of medical professionals to help with those major ones of life and death! Even getting second and third opinions... think of this as thousands of opinions that are saying the same thing, and that is to wear masks and get vaccinated!!! 

Well, folks, this is one of those, and so if I did have children in the public school system I would definitely err on the side of caution and make sure if they were able to get them vaccinated to do that and make them wear a mask!

My judgment would be on the side of science and medicine like in the Center for Disease Control has issued appropriate ways to handle this time, truly a blip, hopefully only a blip in their lives to comply with their safety recommendations!

Two small things that are all that matter so much in the bigger picture of things in life and death!!!

Moving on...

The pool is calling to me at now 86 degrees who wouldn't go in, really. But Hubby put the chair against the door, which means the gates are open due to him mowing!!! He does that to remind me, so the doggies/fur babies won't get out of the yard, but now I cannot get into the yard either!!! And so I must wait...until the tractor shuts down so he can hear me!!! I have some time since I have not put on my swimsuit either, and during that time he raises the Sunsail. It is put down after my swim due to all the rainstorms we get in the summer with gusty winds. 

You can see it on the side of the pool in the above picture, still attached to the poles but folded up on the ground partially, also up the wall.

I know I know overkill on just a quarter acre... but Hubby knew what he needed, despite all our things in the yard from sheds to a pond and a pool...! Easier for him to keep up.

Moving on lastly, ashamed to even show you these photos of our cloudy sunrise that is the beauty of the beginning of our clear day so far...!

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!
