Eleven days till the mid-term election!

 


And I hope you vote (d) for the right person with the same beliefs as yourself in what direction our country has to go in! Don't forget to vote!

I know that anyone reading this dribble I perform daily has a heart or would not be reading any of this drek.

That alone tells me you believe in people making decisions about their own bodies, i.e., at the very least it should be between themselves and their doctors, and deciphering what their children should have access to and that parents can disseminate what their children should know, age-appropriately. No government agencies should have the right to interfere with those choices!

The economy is indeed in flux; nothing new there!

Every few decades this happens, but my friends it is not something the Democrats did, for then you would then be blaming the entire world's economy on them too???

Think, people, perhaps the war in Ukraine?

Maybe the PANDEMIC?

Though both of those were precursors to the present economic situation, true?

So many other possibilities!

Although, yesterday's small raised increment proves otherwise in the US of A, hmm?

Moving on... today marks one month since Hurricane Ian hit!

Tons and tons of debris have been removed from the hardest-hit areas.

We are on the list to be removed due to having paid our bill for removal.

Although, those with the ability to remove their own debris are encouraged to do so! We are not able to do that.

Several locations have been provided for that purpose.

I was told by a news personality that our piles are small, I sent her a picture, and I do agree. But they are piles just the same, where vermin could decide to make their home or mosquitoes to lay their eggs, who knows what dangerous filth might lie in wait without constant monitoring of the piles??? And that we are not able to do either! Of course, I do understand the situation is dire for the companies chosen to take away the reality of many lives' memories, now gone forevermore...! It is overwhelming the amount of work to be done! Rubbish is rubbish, after all!

You cannot see it there but an avocado tree I grew from a pit lies there too, it was nearly thirty feet tall! An annoyance, of the Chinaberry tree, is in that pile as well... my neighbor's refusal to remove it for $900 was well heard and now nature has done the job for her and us!

I say us due to its toxic berries that could harm our fur babies, and the blackish dust it emanates that flew all over the roofs of our sheds! It had come down in our yard!


MY MUSES are below!



Lastly, moving on to who they are, our crew...

...3 months and 4 years old


Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not from Australia, but American-made. 
I will comply for its fun, 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 I was in at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named. Mom asked her age, but not her name...ha! And without hesitation, the teenager had said Aussie! By the way, she was just looking, 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. Since then, we have discovered that it is a ubiquitous name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon, even say unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd, a red Merl. And here is an interesting factoid about me was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now four years old, I am the baby, though I am the largest of the fur babies, and due to my breed and being standard, I am a bit too big, ha! 
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. 
Above is my PIC, taken on the birthday I share with my dad, but dad is much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, on February 16, 2018, on dad's brother's birthday.
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. I might be six years old.We are all rescues, so no one knows our ages for sure. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as its difficulties. 
I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog it had been said that I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18 on clear out the shelters day!
My record called me Belle, so for no known reason, mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!



Hey, wait! 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 late with Dad, till after seven most days, even later sometimes! 

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 had been 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 is 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, and Chance, now you got it! In order of adoption!
