On hold...again!

 

Bank of America! I was highly insulted when receiving an email stating that I should pay a minimum of my credit card bill of $25. I pay our bill off entirely every month, never leaving a balance. I was waiting to speak to someone about our additional rewards of 25% being a gold rewards member. The anger arose when they sent that email a day after they had credited me with my payment through bill payer and I again had a zero balance owed!!! Payment on 9/03 and email on 9/04 @ 4:44 A.M.! We have been with them for 35 years!!!

They just dropped my call after being on hold again!

I guess I will call back later!

Moving on...

Hubby working on the overwhelming pond garden deconstruction! Much filling in of the hole left behind from an eleven hundred gallon pond and now to accommodate a smaller 150 gallon one with a scaled-down garden as well!

Below is my attempt to colorize my bookcase, scaled-down years ago in my attempt to make a reading nook in the sunroom.

It appears that Aussie wants in on that too! LOL! Let's face it who doesn't love a great story! And that is why that garden and pond will add to that specific experience while gazing up from that novel. One can only hope, as the previous dappled waters once had.

Hubby had brought in another strand of longer yellow allamanda to hopefully add to the vivid natural shades of the vine! 

Moving onto the political front...which begs the question are vaccines necessary???

This article hotkey answers that!

Why wait until it's too late.

 And so we must go for now.

Please be smart, as well as safe.

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, 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................................................ 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 in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five 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 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 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 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? 

The animal control lady was 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!

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