Has this ever happened to you?

 


It was CRAZY, and embarrassing too!

Oh, sorry, I forgot to say what was CRAZY and Embarrassing, too. My phone calendar said I had an eye doctor appointment at 10:45 A.M. yesterday, and even Hubby's did since our phones are in sync. But when I checked in, Holly, the receptionist said I did not.

Actually, first, she said that my doctor was not in today but the other one was, I said that was okay... then she looked it up and told me what I wrote above. And had asked if I had received any confirmation... and no I hadn't, yep, she was right! But why the writing of the occasion on the phone schedule??? 

She asked if I wanted another appointment, but our schedule looked so busy, and, so I said I would call her.

Another mystery this time, unsolved.

Do you need yearly eye checkups when you are in your seventies?

So when we left we had other errands to do anyway...

Our flooring was ready to pick up at Home Depot... ten cases over $600 just to fix the damaged floors LVF, Luxury Vinyl Floors, that were supposed to be carefree and guaranteed for life, well I guess if your life is about three years old! No one at Home Depot knew anything where we bought them about three years ago for about 3K for our entire smallish home, aggravating!

Allow me to introduce you to the crew...

Lastly, moving on to who they are, our crew...
3 months, and ... now 7!



   
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 nameβ€”ha! And without hesitation, the teenager said Aussie! By the way, she was just looking, so my mom did not steal me from her.
We never discovered the girl's name; Mom liked Aussie, too. Since then, we have found that it is a ubiquitous name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon, even 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 seven years old, I am the baby,.I am the largest of fur babies, and due to my breed and being standard, I am just right, 
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, I am a Maltese Yorkie and a Morkie. I might be eleven 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. 
My previous family turned me in, stating that I misbehaved 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, clearing 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 13-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 when 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!
