It was an epic day of rescue here in my neck of the woods. I enlisted the help of my buddy Bert because the task was so huge.
While I drag a stick from the water to the bank Bert swims them in from the middle of the river.
This guy watched us work.
He was soon joined by his girl. But there was no time to admire them any longer. There were sticks that were in need of rescue.
This big boy was heavy, but worth the effort.
When rescuing sticks you must pause to asses the situation for optimal success.
And there are times when one must give mouth to stick resuscitation. This one made it.
And it helps to have a partner in rescue operation.
"Hey Goose we have a situation over here."
"I'm on it Bert."
Woo, got it.
The rescuing was never ending. This stick not only was drowning but it was stuck deep in the mud.
When a sticks life is on the line the adrenaline kicks in and I get super Goose strength. Which enabled me to pull it from it's muddy, watery death.
But it was not over yet. It need some critical attention.
Another successful rescue operation. I could not have done it without my buddy Bert. Stick rescue was not all we did. Tune in again to see what else happened.
Blessings,
Goose

Goose, I think you and Bert just might be part beaver!
ReplyDeleteExcellent rescue operation. I think you may be headed toward your own TV series!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! But, are you sure you aren't a beaver instead of a Goose?
ReplyDeleteYou and Bert make an excellent stick rescue team. Of course we all know that Bert is an expert rescuer already.

i had a smile on my face as i watched you and Bert hunting sticks together, but when the bench shot came up i did laugh out loud. you two look so adorable sitting there. tell your Mom that Madi's granpa peep died yesterday. you might know, just passing it on.

You and Bert are the picture of professionalism. Job well done guys!
ReplyDeleteHi Goose, I so understand about being busy. Will pray for extra energy for you and Mom. I knew there were sticks calling your name; glad you had some time with Bert. The last picture of you together is priceless-think it should be hanging in a museum or someplace important-maybe the White House.
ReplyDeleteWags, Noreen & Hunter
Wow you guys are like two well sinkranized (sp) machines, you saved alot of sticks for sure!!
ReplyDeletestella rose
That is some serious saving work you did! Thank gooseness you had a partner. Did you see what I did there? Invented a new, beautiful word, Gooseness. I love it. What do you think it means? ;)
ReplyDeleteYou and Bert sure do make a pawesome rescue team!!! If we could just find a nice big stick like those, we would be able to practice mouth to stick resuscitation too. It sure looks like a fun and rewarding experience.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
Whew! We are confident all sticks are safe
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Wow...you guys should get a medal of honor or something. That was so cool. I also enjoyed the pics from church....I so want to go. Mom says if I went, there would be a lot of praying going on!

ReplyDeleteOh Goose (and Bert!) - I hate to think what would have become of those sticks had you not been right there on the scene. Planning out a rescue op like that requires skilful loggy-stix... &>
Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty
You two are the best buddies! I think you both may have a little beaver in your genes!
ReplyDeleteWhew, thanks guys, we always worry about those sticks, we don't have much access to go and rescue to far and few between, so grab some for us!

What a team you two are Goose...Once you rescue the sticks do you pile them up so you have a supply for the summer?
ReplyDeleteWhat would the stick world do without the two of you???? You are amazing. I have so much to learn from you.
ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
Omigoodness, Goose! You and Bert are such hard workers! So selfless and tireless! It's a good things sticks have dogs like you watching out for them.
ReplyDeletewww.dogtreatweb.com
Goose, do you think you and Bert could come out to NC and help us clear the creek? Our dogs won't pick any of them out of the water. And it's hard work.
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely believe that you and Bert should have your very own reality show!! We would totally watch every day!! Love that picture of the two of you!! xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
ReplyDeleteWOW! When I think of all those sticks that are safe and sound now thanks to you... Well, I just gets something in my eye, that's all. Grreat job, guys!
