Good day mates!

No, friends, I am not from Australia... but I do like how the congeniality of the welcoming sounds.

Although, we do have an Australian shepherd that was more than likely created in California, where the breed actually started here... in the USA! But our Aussie came to us via the Carolinas... his back story is below.

Anywho, why can't the greeting be international?

Moving on...

I am having a bit of difficulty writing today... my right shoulder is sore I do have a slight tear in the rotator cuff for a few years, but it's not big enough to do anything about it, so I was told. With my baclofen pump and oral gabapentin, I usually don't feel it too much. I guess I will need some extra strength Tylenol.

 When I asked the nurse how would I know if the tear got worse, she said,...oh you'll know! But I did not get out the fact that I am on 1200 mg. of gabapentin daily for my MS pain which is for nerve pain which is where most pain comes from, and the baclofen pump too in its way is also for spasticity pain which pain in other body parts mimic...So I should have mentioned that to her...And the fact I walked on a broken leg for two days while making cookies about twenty-five years ago before I had the pump or gabapentin... makes me still wonder?  How will I know?

Oh well,...!

Moving on again...

Let's see what made the headlines, hmm?

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

3 months and 4 years old, now 5!

    

   

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 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 found out the girl's name; mom liked 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 five 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 seven 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 eight 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!
