Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 13, 2021

It’s like the real thing – who’s walking who (whom)? Who’s the Yo-yo?

Duncan Yo-Yo, we all learned a few tricks. TG, I spent most of my time playing sports and riding a mini bike.

Do kids even play with yo-yos these days? That was a big thing in the early 60s. I sucked at it.

Had more than one knot on my head in early 60s because of Yo-Yo TRICKS that didn’t work out as they should have!

On the walk home from school, there was a deli/candy shop/emporium that had a guy out front performing tons of Yo-Yo tricks. He was pretty amazing to our young minds but he was actually just live advertising tor the shop; they sold Yo-Yos and strings. I was one of the poorer kids in school and never carried around enough money to buy a Yo-Yo there. Oh, I had a Yo-Yo, I just couldn’t buy the deluxe, diamond studded stuff sold in that store. :-)

I was never very good at it.

And…that’s how I yanked my back out.

That yo-yo is gooood……

Oh, that sniff…it goes on and on….love and hugs for dearest Red and Rover

My dog walks with her nose on the ground like most good hunting dogs. Her favorite walks are on garbage day, of course! Last week I pulled a chicken bone out of her mouth again. She has learned to be sneaky, but I have good reflexes.

One of the few R&Rs to show something impossible besides telepathy.

Wish I still had my yo-yo.

This reminds me of that old Rolling Stones song…Walking the Dog.
