Hubby's birthday was a success, in spite of not starting out too...

 

...good, since I stopped driving years ago due to many things I have had to become a bit more creative with doing things...GET YOUR MIND OUT O THE GUTTER!!! I mean everyday things like buying birthday cards, cakes, gifts, etc.!

As everyone knows the internet is here for most of that in a very timely fashion!

I even pay a yearly fee for a card company to send cards online or print out a hard copy!

Well, my printer would not cooperate, and I wasted three hard cardstock papers trying to print out Hubby's birthday card!

I finally gave up and sent him an email one, for shame!

The fact that I had a doctor's appointment to get my elbow brace off and my wrist checked was why my ability to be out of the house and get our birthday lunches that were ordered!

Although Hubby did that, ordered lunch that is, at his favorite Mexican food restaurant, Plaza Mexico!

Whenever we order take out we get days out of those meals, well worth the price of the reheat!

Then a quick stop at Publix grocery for one of their tiny birthday cakes!

This time I invested in a dark chocolate edible candle!

Both were a hit!

  It was Aussie's birthday too, but he was just four years old! See him peeking at Daddy's cake in the background...Unfortunately, as you can see, he knows that is Daddy's cake! But he got lots of hugs and kisses!

Moving on...

Lefty is free now too!!!

Yay!

Although as you can see it is still swollen!

And it is still sore, so icing it has helped.

Next Wednesday I can remove the wrist brace forever!

Moving on again...

Hubby said we needed gas for the van and so we passed several stations on the way up to my doctor's office that was priced at 3.35.9 a gallon. After my office visit, we went over to Sam's club and...their's was can you see below...?

                                    Only 3.03.9 a gallon!

Moving on... a wee bit, more so...

Get your hotkeys here!

More X-pres trouble...! Typical from him.

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? Mom apparently asked her age but not her name...ha! 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................................................ 4 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 six 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 seven 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 I saw Aussie and Bella in their living-room window, so I hung out there... 

The animal control lady had been 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! The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening?  

Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
