Heres the story:
Hubby works at a metal recycling yard by a river.
1. DH showed up to work, clocked in and when he goes outside of the shop, this sweet little guy comes running up to him out of nowhere. He picks him up for a pet and snuggle and decides he is going to 'rescue' him and go down to the dock and set him in the slow moving water. His thought was that he was doing a good thing because he has seen geese fly in before and he would just go to them if they flew in.
2. DH texts me and informs me he has rescued a goose. I think that is odd and exciting and ask for an explanation, which he tells me.
3. I ask how big it was.
4. Oh, about the age of our two (BABIES!!!!!!!)
5. I call DH and say:
-was it covered in down still??
-did you SEE any other geese around??
-what did he do when you put him in the water??
-did you know if he hasn't been conditioned for the water he could waterlog himself and drown??
-a gar could eat him??
-I AM MAD AT YOU NOW.
-you better just say a prayer for that poor little baby and check on him as soon as you can and pull him out of that river.
6. An hour passes and DH texts me that he is worried sick about said baby and regrets his actions.
7. Just before break, DH spots little guy walking around the work lot and radios the guys "GRAB THAT GOOSE!! HE'S MINE!!!"
8. DH spends the rest of the day spoiling baby and falling in love.
Here are some pics and I would like to know what you think he/she is because he looks nothing like the two we have at home. We have only had him a few days and he was very thin and 'rough' looking. He is obviously used to people, but looks to be malnurished and not cared for properly. There is evidence that he had been penned as his neck feathers have been rubbed away from (I am guessing) sticking his head through a pen to get at the grass on the outside? Our two geese at home look to be at the same age and the 3 are getting along wonderfully and he is eating well and enjoying his pool. Oh yeah....we love him
