The pause is over for now...!

 


Personally, I believe the pause was working as far as releasing people/prisoners/shields went...

My question is why did the deadly battle start again??? RE: Israeli/Hamas WAR 

Not who started it, although that does matter... but why start it when the exchange was working!!!

Apparently, until we know why it cannot be stopped, stubbornness is foolish, no make that STUPID reason to kill!

Moving on...

 to things I have more control over...myself, for one...

 I will be having CTs of my right and left thigh, femur, and pelvis in about ten days.

I know I have mentioned my right leg specifically, but it is still not right from that October second fall I had on the 8th.

I was surprised and happy to say that despite my doctor feeling under the weather and not wanting to share that with her patients she was kind enough to see us all via video chat.

It was my first time having a doctor/patient call that way for that purpose.

I did have a previous one this past spring after six years of use with the California doctor determining my need for my new motorized wheelchair that I waited an additional year for. Not for any specific reason but because it did not seem to need to be replaced.Until it did a year later, every five years I can have it replaced according to MEDICARE. I passed the questioning review and received my new chair right after.

You see, I can walk but I seem to fall quite a lot, and there are also times when I cannot get up at all... so please world understand there are many people like me who can walk and need these types of motorized chairs due falling frequently and at times cannot get up at all from a sitting position. WE ARE NOT FAKERS!

Motorized due to weak arms caused by most neurological diseases, I have Multiple sclerosis, which makes many unable to navigate a manual wheelchair. 

It is true I use mine when out only, and that is due to my home doorways being too narrow to turn into except for the new bathroom. So it is homed inside of our van with a manual ramp since it is too heavy for a motorized ramp.

The Cts are not for nearly two weeks, and I do have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon set up for the day after Christmas... if need be as per internist.

 Let me introduce you to the crew...


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

3 months and 4 years old, now 6!    
Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not from Australia, but American-made. 
I will comply because it is fun and 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: I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but as you might know, I AM NOT! I am a standard Australian Shepherd! Although I am now six 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 just right, 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 eight 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 accompanying 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 nine 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 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!
