New Gander on the Block

It's hard taking vacations with 40 or so hungry mouths to feed every day. So, with a trip to Japan looming in April/May, I started searching sometime in February.

With about a month to spare, two sitters decided to take on the duty. They did smashingly, and I am very grateful for the service they performed. Thanks again, Jennifer and Cheri!

I have recently acquired a new Embden Gander named Fido. Apparently the previous owners thought he was a very good watchdog, as he is very aggressive. So they said. I have found him to be gentle as a kitten. Some day he'll be father of goslings, as I intend to breed him with Foie and Gras.



Fido integrated slowly at first, but after just one week, he hangs with the gang like he knew them from goslinghood.
