They say everything’s bigger in Texas.
I say they’ve never seen a Canada goose.
Chihuahua girl and I met a couple of Canada geese on our morning walk. They were enjoying the view off the dock–the same view off the same dock we wanted to enjoy.
I didn’t think it would be a problem–two carnivores (one a descendant of wolves!) VS a pair of birds seemed like a pretty good odds. I expected the geese would fly peacefully away.
Wrong!
They waddled further along the dock, stopping every few steps to glare at us over their succulent, meaty shoulders. There may have been hissing, too.
Since Penny was wearing a new sweater and didn’t want to snag it in a tussle, and I prefer my altercations with fowl to be with the roasted variety, we retreated.
Canada 1; Mexico 0
Good move on your part, they can be aggressive, especially to small dogs in sweaters. I’m sure Penny thanked you silently, woof.

Actually there may have been an element of self-preservation in the decision to retreat!

That’s what gets me out of a lot of dicey situations, self-preservation!

Actually, I have seen Canadian geese in Texas, and they are still not well-behaved there. Chasing the old ladies and pooping near the pond.

Oh this made me laugh. One but my son when he was 18 months old & without thinking I whacked it on the beak. It waddled off!
