EvenLater the playpen for Cas is amazing! And he is so gorgeous. How is the pen for cleaning though? I don't see him wearing a diaper in the photo. And thank you for your post. You all bring something to the conversation and I appreciate that. I can tell you I am myself 100% committed to this cutie. I wish I wasn't working such a hard job now as I love being around her and giving her the affection she needs. If I was home, I would have her with me all the time. But my husband is not like that. He resents me a bit because of the "rescue" habit I have been suffering from. For the past 5 years at least we have always had 4-5 pets at the same time, mainly because I would fall in love with a pet at the store and find a way to convince my husband to bring it home. I hadn't brought a new pet in the past 2 years until baby goose arrived. Knowing that she could live 15 years is no issue for me. I am okay not being able to travel much if at all in that time.
I have been religiously cleaning her area, feeding her, bathing her and playing with her everyday for the past 5 weeks that we have had her. On the weekends I take her out more since I am usually home. 2 weeks ago I have, after your suggestion in my other thread, bought a bunch of toys, bird toys, baby toys, dog toys etc. She doesn't seem to love many of them but she has become attached to a toy in the shape of a butterfly that makes music when you press a button. We have been trying to teach her to press it herself. Not quite there yet haha. I also downloaded soothing bird music but have yet to play it in her room. I tried putting the iPad next to her with a Pixar movie but she didn't buy into it just yet. Will continue trying. The mirror is the one thing I haven't gotten to yet. I will try to find a nice one that is safe for her to have on her own this week-end. Also, she gets a goose plush with her at bedtime in her dog bed and she loves picking at it. She doesn't seem to care for it during the day though.
On the suggestion of Carrosaur, I have also started keeping a varied greens buffet, which prompted me to buy an extra fridge just for it lol (and to hold cold beer for the gentleman of course).
