Uptick in covid around the country!

 

It's no wonder with gasp-worthy interviews like the *senior citizen maskless gentleman at a St. Paddy's Day shindig yesterday saying that he had received his shot the day before, so he was good, and I might add he was a bit tipsy in appearance!

*To say nothing of all the Spring Breakers maskless invading our beaches here in Florida with party-on attitudes!

Oddly enough somehow we did not make the list???

We only make the news with our careless behavior and high percentages of the virus...! According to CDC guidelines that our governor does not follow, to be as open as we are, you must have a minimum of two weeks with infection averages below 5%, and we have never gone that long with them below 5%!

Florida has a reputation for not following rules...but the level-headed people know the rules we are breaking are life and death ones!

People from all over the country come and the world comes here too, thinking what?

That no rules mean you can be unsafe?

Apparently, from the interviews all over our beautiful state of Florida!

Deaths will mount with all the super spreaders congregating willy nilly, again!!!

So it is up to us as individuals to use the common sense G-d had given us!

*Back to that senior citizen, like us... getting a vaccine against the covid virus is prudent, but they do not kick in magically to protect you from the onset of receiving them! Still wear your mask, and social distance, and wash those hands!!!

They take time to work, partially in two weeks and more so in four weeks, and then and only then you can take off your mask and meet with family or friends also that have been vaccinated!

*The other thing is that being outside in itself is no guarantee that you are safe, take talking, or playing sports are all conducive to spittal emanating from your mouth and splashing saliva particles to you or from you to others!

Think people think!

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!
