The Resident Geese
General Ulysses S. Grant is the ring leader of this gaggle, followed by Spotty and Dotty. Colonel Pinkwater always brings up the rear, manages to get separated from the others, then goes into a mild tizzy until he is reunited with his pals. The geese are fed every week by our caretaker, but they'll always be happy to receive a crust of bread from you. If Pinkwater acts a little aggressive, just spread your arms, do a Hulk Hogan maneuver and walk towards him. He always turns tail.
The geese would love to follow you right up to the house, but don't let them. They have eaten a hole in the bottom of the barn door. Once, they ate through an electrical wire in our caretaker's car! If you'll be sure to close the little bamboo gate on the drive, that will keep them in the garden and out of mischief in the courtyard.
