Anyway, took lots of photos...And made a new best friend! The Canadian cross (probably Embden) goose I bought off someone last year for $1...she was probably going to slaughter...was probably a tame baby at one point! Tonight we thought it was odd that she was following me. Well, she's attacked the dogs a few times in the last few days protecting her "mate" (A male Embden cross that my moms ex gave us because he was the last to survive a mink at his place...and then the poor thing gets his leg broken by the cattle or horses here :( ) so we thought she was going after me at first. She follows us up in the front yard, and so I squatted down, protecting my eyes of course, to see what she'd do. She just stood there and head bobbed at me and talked to me...I think with a couple more months of work, she'll be sitting in my lap! lol. She never really had a name other than "goosey" so I have to look up a real name for her now :) I LOVE tame geese...My favorite is hatching them in the incubator and being able to imprint them on your voice like 5 days before they hatch...it's great! Anyway, there's some photos of her following me around the yard in here hehehe.







































And now...a dilema....



There's patches where horns SHOULD be...but nothin' coming yet! Maters got nice little horn buds....Hopefully Lightnings are slow growing? Cross your fingers...he was my keeper!
Anyway, cross your fingers March lambs tonight! :)

Named the goose Saloso...it was on babynames.com under "native american" for "wild goose call" I thought it was fitting since she's half Canadian. We'll call her Sally for short.
gorgeous lambs. What color is mater? He looks "modified".
He's black right now, but I think you might be right. He's black black down at the skin, but who knows?
