Geese

I wish I had an actual picture or video of this to share but everything went very fast and I needed both hands on the girls anyway, but I'm going to describe it best I can. Canadian Geese are actually pretty populous around here but not usually within view of the house. I was trying to get Charlie to stop chasing butterflies and come in so I could run an errand and I looked up and saw about seven geese in the neighbors' yard across the street. Molly was inside so I brought her out and tried to show her through the fence, Charlie was still playing with the butterflies and wouldn't focus. I really wanted them to see them though, I don't think they have before, at least not like that. I brought them in from the back, got their leashes, and headed out front. That was so.much.fun.  Molly saw them first and it was very obvious she was thinking "what in the world is that?!" then she fussed at them some. Charlie just stared, she concentrates very hard on things.  The neighbor came out to see them and I think Molly was either telling them to get away from her or warning her to stay away from them. Then the geese meandered down the road.  The whole thing was a blessing; the geese are beautiful, graceful creatures, it was fun for us to see, and the girls were very excited. I tried to take Lexi out and show him but they were far enough down the road he didn't see them. Hopefully they will comeback!
