So yesterday we became 60 percenters, so we were told...



According to what we have been told by our local news station 60% of all seniors in our state have received the COVID-19 vaccines, that is one type or another... below are some of the pictures of Centennial Park that was a drive-thru site for our shots yesterday. The 15 minutes wait period is written on your windshield, which annoyed Hubby. 






Michigan??? Most likely snowbirds who have taken advantage of our vaccines' system, but not all Floridians have gotten theirs!


Moving on... the gift...

UPS shook the daylights out of it! The ears and nose were not on it and neither did its ponytail stay put. All had been hot glued to it! It's an impressionistic Avatar oddly! But the recipient loved it anyway. I suppose that should be enough.

Below is mine on our shelves top. We had also added into the gift a mask and sunglasses, but now without the nose and ears, they cannot be worn...

The box is below and it was crunched; it had cost quite a bit to ship, in my opinion, and so for this to happen is wrong and uncaring! 


I am calling UPS after I finish today's blog to tell them what happened.

And so we must go for now...

Please be smart, as well as safe.
Have a very pleasant night.


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 a second thought, 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, 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 tipping the scales around seventy pounds, HA! 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. 
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, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. 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 from my previous family, stating, that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said that I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear 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!


And please don't forget me, I am Chance 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! I enjoy a good tug-of-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? 

Now my name of Chance is because I was given another chance, could be only the second one or perhaps more... The animal control lady came out to see if I had a chip 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!

 

Speaking My Mind: I forgot Sun-day!

Speaking My Mind: I forgot Sun-day! :   Oh, no, I didn't. I was in the hospital once more, concerned over an exacerbation of the MS, whi...
