Today is Sunday, and that is why still no response to my letter sent late Friday...

 

Most all government offices are closed on weekends, I do believe, thus my reasoning of why I hadn't yet heard any word back yet. The health department is one of those, government agencies.

As soon as I hear anything, I will let you all know too.

Meanwhile, I was also given the direct phone number to the recipient of that letter, and so I just might follow up with a phone call to help her sift through all those emails!

Just a short note to remind anyone who might have forgotten what my letter was about, it was asking for the daily numbers for Charlotte County Florida of cases and deaths of COVID.

The surrounding counties get them, but we have not been getting them for quite some time.

Moving on...

All of you in the cold weather areas must be wondering why the EZ-up is still in use... well in Florida our temperature today will be 94F degrees with feels-like temperatures in the triple digits again!

The heat here is not typical either! Usually, we are in the lower nineties now. This pic was taken just a few minutes ago... 9:21 A.M., by noon our temperatures will be ungodly! Look at that feels lie temperature of 99F already! Our only hope for a break is the promised late afternoon thunderstorms!

Moving on once again...

Today I am taking a break from that luxurious inviting swimming pool!

I am trying to see that if my arms and legs weakness is from overdoing it, with going in three days straight! MS, Multiple sclerosis, and arthritis's first rule of thumb are to listen to your body! The pool temperature is picture-perfect, that for any certified Aquacise instructor, at 85 degrees Fahrenheit is just right and recommended! That is why I kept going in!

 I suppose, pushing the envelope* in anything is not a great idea, especially when your health is involved.

• For the kids and others not familiar with the expression...*"Pushing the envelope means testing limits and trying out new, often radical ideas. The expression comes originally from mathematics and engineering, where an envelope is a boundary, but was popularized by test pilots (especially those depicted in Tom Wolfe’s book The Right Stuff ). In aircraft design and testing, the envelope is the whole set of limitations governing the safe operation of the aircraft."

Lastly...!

The latest horror show in Florida!https://www.yahoo.com/news/appeals-court-rules-favor-florida-174158901.html

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 my 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!
