Feeling crappy!


...Whoa... is that not politically correct?

My stomach has been running badly over all this time, which has made me lose more weight! I am back on my ulcer treatment medication that needs to be ground up and so I do it in my coffee grinder works perfectly! Between that and my nausea medication, I should eventually feel better. In the interim, I am still drinking my protein drinks. 

And what killed Lisa Marie Presley caught my attention, since I just had that same surgery this past December...! https://news.yahoo.com/small-bowel-obstruction-lisa-marie-224516367.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

Just after the vet clinic incident our washing machine broke, but Hubby diagnosed the part that broke and we ordered it Friday, it should be here Monday!

He jerry-rigged it so I could finish my two loads of laundry!

So besides what's happening in the news daily making our nerves frazil and my Hubby with as he said not quite getting his expiration date, yet, due to his invasive bladder cancer, but we fear soon...!

He feels he has to get our home ready for hurricanes, and we even got prices on easier-to-use accordion shutters for the rest of the home that is always up but can be easily opened or closed. The ones we have had for years have to be stored and then put up in each section individually.

We have also been trying to get a hold of GENERAC which offers a fairly low monthly payment plan for the emergency generator system but no one has called back!

We do have a generator but you must physically go out add gas and start it up!

Something that might be more difficult with us both not well. I, never have done or think I could that I could do it especially with my right hand possibly broken again. Yep,  fell and put it out to support me.

The last time I broke it was in 2021 after my hand surgery, with the same situation protecting me from falling over. It took ten weeks to heal and my hand surgeon said my hand brace should be worn last time, so that is what I am doing again.

My legs are even stiffer than before and I just had my baclofen pump filled so that cannot be the reason why... waiting on the interpretation of the results of my last CT of my lumbar, and maybe the neurosurgeon who order it will let me know... but that isn't until August! Still can't sit without pain... and that's what I do, a lot due to all my other health issues.

So CRAPPY IT IS!

 MY MUSES are below!

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!

Speaking My Mind: What did I do?

Speaking My Mind: What did I do? : What is it? I call it premature mitigation! Ha! But it is my way of protecting our family photos and albu...
