The last day of the hunting season is here - not much activity BUT.... yesterday one of our hunting friends killed a large dog fox - not far from where Boss was killed... I can't say for sure that it was the predator but I feel better in knowing that there is one less predator around here!
My geese are still very distressed, they are confused, there is no outright leader - it is unfortunate that the ganders are a liitle more "forward/aggressive" at this time of year due to breeding issues they still will not venture up river - so sad to see them like this but at least they are not going out of my sight - I need the comfort that they are ok - they have been through such trauma....
I have been calling out Boss's boys home now.... they come straight away, they were so used to my calling out "Boss bring them home now" and for them I suppose the call is much the same - except for me that is - it is difficult... when I put the lights out at night for them I still call out "Goodnight Boss - see you in the morning" - habits die hard.... in time maybe the hurt will ease - but for now.... sad days.
