LOL @ lots of burying space.

Quieter then yours by the sound of it! I just had to explain to my dad why someone would pay 10.00 for a week old gosling,lol

I laugh because just earlier today I had to explain to my brother that selling a goose for 15 dollars is a good deal. He tried to convince me he'd rather pay 15 for a baby than a adult

To the Dog people.. is it the dog or is it us? We don't teach them to be protective.. they just are. Is it because we are such a tight knit family? Or "pack" I guess. Or is it because we don't go to dog parks and "socialize" our dogs , because we never go anywhere really. We're home body types. I don't know..

Ok, I'm rambling again.. I'll stop.. carry on.

You are part of their "pack"...the pack sticks together and protects one another. Also, some breeds are more protective than others....and females seem to be even more so.

I'm a little worried that I'm going to have to go to work tomorrow and leave hubs in charge of duckling watch.

Nah, just a bit jealous that I don't get to be here.

Everyone have a good night! Hopefully there will be baby pics tomorrow!
