Determination

on April 3, 2012

When I let the geese and ducks out in the morning, they now head, vociferously, straight to the dogyard. They seem to have it in for the dogs after our so-called harmony day the other day (end results of this are another story).

Look how determined they are on their way to tell the dogs who is boss around here. Godfrey’s head is missing from the photo – sorry about that – hehe! Well he bit my hand tonight and drew blood (another another story!)

Of course the situation is reversed in the evening but I have to say that the dogs aren’t quite as loud.

It looks like they are never going to be compatible and I was silly to try. Oh well – live and learn!

    Hi,

    There are places where they geese as guardians instead of dogs because they are more effective! They can raise hell of noise and be extremely aggressive as a gang. I read that somewhere. I believe in prisons, in surrounding buffers.
    FYI

    I once got chased by some geese when I went too near their nest. Quite scary!

    Hmmm… maybe Godfrey blames you for the ruckus and the dead hen? My geese like perfect harmony and will not tolerate any insubordination on the premises. They will go over and “break it up” every time. Maybe that is why he bit you so hard today? I’m sorry he got you. 😦

    looks like you have muscovie geese.Use to work at a guest ranch and my boss raised them and exotic chickens. Jane

    Phew – it’s a jungle out there, Julie – that goose at the back has a make-my-day-dawg look in his eye
