Yesterday we did receive our new phones and it took... a village...

 


Nah...just three Consumer Celluar people to help us transfer our data off our old phones to our new phones we still have to transfer our pictures to an additional card that we have yet to purchase! Which is an ongoing thing even today! The last of the three was a Supervisor named Krista who at first was non-committal on helping us resolve all our issues. 

The first had helped for a while and then hung up telling us we had to do this and that! The second said she would call us back in half an hour but never did!

But in the end, Krista helped I think it was because I practically begged her to and in the end, I thanked her profusely!

However, times have changed since I got my phone that physically parted me just three years ago they would stay with you until the phone info was transferred... and Krista understood that and did mostly that... but now the consumer has to do so much more! Not by choice... perhaps these will be the last phones we will buy, but at a sales price of $99 I wonder if it, Moto G Play, has 3X the memory of our old phones, once we remove all those pictures to another storage stick. We have been with Consumer Cellular for at least a decade and they still have the best deals for your senior phone needs! Especially with your AARP membership helping you get those discounts! I highly recommend them for your senior cell phone needs!

Moving on,...but really?

This morning the Littles have their grooming appointment, and then we might have to take a road trip after we drop them off at home...to get these phones set up a distance away!

 Allow me to introduce you to the crew...

Lastly, moving on to who they are, our crew...
3 months, and ...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 ten 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 12-ish 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!
