I discovered that Aussie's baby/puppy picture was missing on the last 3 or 4 blogs, like someone...

 


...ripped it from the headlines! Now who would have done something like that?

A mean person is all I can think of!

And why did none of my readers mention it? 

My anger will pass...! Like everything else.

Moving on...

My kitchen should become ADA-accessible when we get rid of the wonky, smelly bottom cabinets and countertops the great floods of 2024 Helene and Milton Hurricanes flooded our home first with 10 inches of seawater and then less than two weeks later...sixteen inches! 

I have been falling too often due to MS, and this last time, I hit my head and needed staples! There were only two small ones, though. But my head is small like me! LOL. 

Every time I fall my medical provider tells me to go to the emergency room to get X-rayed looking usually for a broken hip. But my hips are strong due to Caltrate, calcium, with D3. I should be glowing by now, but not in a nice way!

When I was put on Copaxone for my MS years ago a lovely nurse taught me how to inject the medication, The Macarena was the location's one area daily. She also said the medication could cause osteoporosis and that I should take the above supplement and all my bone density tests have been normal! My Mom had osteoporosis and I don't! I'm just saying that I am proof that it works!

Puppy Aussie is back!

Allow me to introduce you to the crew...

Lastly, moving on to who they are, our crew...
3 months, and ... now 7!



   
Aussie, say good day!
I am Aussie, not from Australia, but American-made. 
I will comply because it is fun and say good day!

I am called Aussie because my mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl 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 said Aussie! By the way, she was just looking, so my mom did not steal me from her.
We never discovered the girl's name; Mom liked Aussie, too. Since then, we have found that it is a ubiquitous name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon, even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd, a red Merl. 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! I am a standard Australian Shepherd! Although I am now seven years old, I am the baby,. I am the largest of fur babies, and due to my breed and being standard, I am just right,
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, I am a Maltese Yorkie and a Morkie. I might be eleven 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 accompanying that! Being the only girl has its rewards as well as its difficulties. 
My previous family turned me in, stating that I misbehaved 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, clearing out the shelters' day!
My record called me Belle, so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella. I was beautiful either way!




Hey, wait! Please don't forget me! I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am 13-ish 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 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 when 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!
