Current situation, Drumheller, AB. Earlier today, our rental car broke down. Died in a parking lot. Got a new one 6.5h later… 45 minutes before this warning. Fun day! 😂
He’s made a friend at home and these two are having a great time. Please share to help reunite Fraser and his human friend. 🩷🐼
Thankfully, I have a good supply of bamboo at home and was able to provide plenty of food to Fraser. He’s one hungry little panda!!
A good brush and he looks so much better. Nothing like a spa treatment.
I brought him home and gave him a nice bath. The picture is post bath - he asked me not to show how terrible he looked before. He told me his name is Fraser and he was adopted by his human at Ocean Park in Honk Kong.
Vancouver friends! I need your help to find the human friend of this lovely baby panda. I found him looking very sad and lonely, under a tree on east 20th close to Fraser st. He was under a tree, full of leaves, damp and hungry.
Landing beside Canada Place was quite a view yesterday!!!
Born to Walk by Alpha Nkuranga. À true story of survival and resilience, from Rwanda to Tanzania to Canada.
Just finished reading this book and I recommend it strongly. Why? The author, Alpha Nkuranga, known as Kadur, describes the horror that war & gender based violence bring on children & women, sharing her own lived experience in Rwanda. 1/2
Seem on my way to work yesterday. This look like the beginning (or end) of a movie… And no, I didn’t rub the lamp to see if a genie would appear… 😉
This creature is part of a Monday Mood series and they are my new best friend.
Some days are hard. As a pediatrician, I witness so much suffering in youths & their families. But today an older teenager gave me a hug 🥺 What a privilege! Pediatrics is really the best 🩷 (pic of the rainbow I saw walking to work this morning)
Posted at my local store. The end of an era. The only orange juice I ever had as a kid!!!
The best 6$ I ever spent!!! No skipping, just enough scratchy sounds to know it’s a vinyl…
My neighbor is really setting the bar high for the rest of us!! #Bluejays
It’s a good day when you get an influenza vaccine AND a covid19 vaccine!! #vaccinessavelives
This is my latest. Puzzle therapy :) Also needed an ice cream after I finished!!
Victoria, BC friends! Please keep your eyes open for one of our house hippos!!
We know have 4 house hippos in our home. Every time we move we adopt a new one!
AMBER Alert - VANCOUVER. Do not approach this man - call 911.
The interpretation of my work as a pediatrician, by a 12 yo patient. His mom is on the left (with hair bun), I’m the short one in the middle, and he is sleeping out of boredom on the right. 😂 Brilliant.
This country is imperfect, with persistent inequalities due to colonization and systemic racism, but I can’t help but be proud of women’s rights & body autonomy, access to gender affirming care and the right to love and marry who you want. ❤️🌈🫶🏼
Am I the only one who can’t stop reading the news coming from the USA (I’m in 🇨🇦) knowing my sleep will be bad… again? Sigh. Here is a picture of the cute fluffy therapy dog at my dentist office to help.
