Red and Rover by Brian Basset for April 20, 2020

At least Red was wearing a helmet.

Rover, wrap Red in bubblewrap next time.

That interplanetary travel never gets any easier!

But not with love that Rover has.

Rover is first for helping!!

Dogs are such a blessing.

And we should thank them all!

Thank you to all health workers, first responders and doggie best friends like Rover.

You are all needed, loved and appreciated!

Especially Rover!

xoxo

DEDICATION, COMPASSION, LOVE! THANK YOU!

At least Red has on a great crash helmet!

The fall isn’t what hurts… it’s that sudden stop at the bottom that does!

Oh, my!!!Rover to the rescue….Indeed a first responder

I remember when you first rescued Red

Been there! Put oversized wheel on bike, wheel came off going down hill . Didn’t have helmets back then, just pain and road rash.

as do crash helmets

Rover, is such a friend!

I should’ve had such a helmet when I was his age…lost a front tooth when I flew over the handlebars!

Oh, my adorable ones! What a wonderful tribute to today’s (and yesteryear ’s) heroes! Love it!

Such an earnest look on Rover’s fuzzy face!

Good thing Red’s wearing a helmet, even a plastic one is better than none.

I live near a fire station, and I can hear the traffic of a nearby throughfare. Despite everything being closed down, I’m hearing far more emergency vehicles than usual. Domestic violence has tripled here in the last few months, and these calls are the most dangerous calls to take on a daily basis because of the violent and crazy people involved. CORVID-19 isn’t the only danger out there.

I like the banana seat on the bike….

Yup. And let us not forget those who keep us supplied – from grocery/store workers, to delivery people, to the sanitation (janitors too) people, and the restaurants that still make food to-go! All of them who help keep us sane!

Paraphrasing something I saw elsewhere (wish I could give credit to originator but I don’t know who that is):

We are finding out who our REAL heroes are … and they aren’t the CEOs, athletes, movie stars, singers and celebrities. They are the people making minimum wage to grow, deliver, stock, prepare and serve food … teachers … health care workers at all levels … sanitation workers … law enforcement/firefighters/first responders ….

Hope we remember this when we get to the other side.

Is Red imitating the boy in the bubble?

Remembering the R.C.M.P. first responders in Nova Scotia. R.I.P.

Awwwwww! Sweetie pie!
