The baby geese are all grown up, the family will probably be flying away soon. We feel privileged we were able to watch them grow up.
We realize from some of the comments that lots of you inside cats and doggies have no idea how ferocious geese can be. We assure you you would NOT chase them. More then likely they would chase you. Geese are very scary birds. So while we all enjoy watching them we all maintain a respectful distance from them. And if they happen to come near us we remain respectfully still and wouldn't think of raising a paw to them. If they are acting hissy (yes geese hiss) we would run as fast as we possibly could, even Mommy would run from them.
In fact there are lots of birds that can hurt/kill cats and dogs owls, eagles, etc.
Even mockingbirds, woodpeckers and bluejays can inflect damage. We will tell you the story of Snowball the cat, Sir Lass the doggie and a bluejay.
Once upon a time a long time ago ............... Mommy had a solid white cat named Snowball when she was a little girl and a Border Collie named Sir Lass. This bad bluejay tormented Snowball horribly and pecked her behind the ear so much she had a bald spot. She spent most of her time hiding under the slide from the bluejay but one day when she was walking to Mommy the bad bluejay was dive bombing her and Sir Lass caught it and killed it (yes doggies can kill birds). He was very proud of himself for protecting Snowball and carried his prize around for days until Grandpa took it away from him.

A lot of our friends have commented on how rude the geese they know are. Ours must have attended a Manners Class as they are very nice. We thoughts we would tell you a little about them. We don't know where they come from but sometime in late January...
- Saturday Sharing - More Geese
We thought we would share more pictures of the geese family. These were taken the day they hatched, April 9th. Our Grancy Greybeard is fixing to bloom. It is really purrty when it does. Socks is going to tell a funny story...
- Bear ~ Bear Update
The more we read about Bear~Bear's MURDER the more angry and upset we get. WJA, ABC7 News out of Washington, DC has named Keith Shephard as the officer who shot Bear-Bear on Monday night. Bear-Bear was a Siberian Husky who was playing in a community...
- Snowball & Happy Hoppy With Alasandra
Our friends at Jan's Funny Farm are having a contest. You can read all about it here. This is our entry even though the only one of us in the photographs is our Mom, Alasandra, so she gets to do the rest of the post (sigh). ~AFSS Gosh, these pictures...
- Tallulah Skye On Thursday
They are finally letting me do a post, I am very new at this so I hope I do OK. I guess I should tell you a bit about me. I am at least 30 years old and Mommy's Grandma Agnes made me for her. I spend most of my time in the bedroom napping. Today...
