In 2005 I had the lovely experience of raising three pet geese for two months. I've had pet cats and dogs, rabbits and rats, parakeets and lizards, but this was the most fun I've ever had with animals.
We had to take them home, of course, to raise and nurture them. Mike made a nice big cage which just fits in the back of the Envoy.
Here they are one week later at least twice as big. They follow me everywhere in the yard peeping and cooing, but squak loudly when they can't see me.
Mabel, Lucy and Bob keep us entertained all day and just are the most fun.
But they keep growing, keep eating and you know what that means-- I have to hose off the deck several times a day.
Mike's sister, Homa, is staying with us now and she is my "babysitter" on weekdays. She has also become attached to our three little darlings.
Mabel is in front. Lucy is flashing her left leg and Bob sits contentedly in the background. He's a little smaller than the females.
