SO sorry for your loss... I know that special bond we have with specific animals. Some of them have the best personalities and those are the ones we bond with the most. I am praying for comfort for you.

I am sooo very sorry for your losses

Bruce was gorgeous and he will always remain in your heart. I have never had geese or ducks but i love my chickens like they are my children so i completely relate to your feelings, it IS like loosing a child! I lost my first hen last year and it was devistating, I cried for days and still do when i think about poor little lily. I pray things get better for you

I'm so sad for you too. At least you gave your feather-kids the very best quality of life & love, & they repaid you a hundred times over with their beauty & love & loyalty & friendship.
Bruce was so special and some day you will be able to remember him with smiles and not tears.

Am so sorry for your loss...what a wonderful goose! I have a BIG pond and 32 geese but none like your amazing Bruce Goose.

I had a similar experience though. One of my beautiful young White Rock hens that I raised persisted in getting out of the run lately and roosting in a small apple tree. Every evening, when I went to close the chickens in I would shoo her off the tree and she would run through the gate and into the house....and I would close the doors. I intended to trim her wings....

Well I got deathly sick the other evening, fell asleep and didn't get to put her up or close the chicken's in (their houses are fortunately inside a 5' chain link fence with lower hardware clothe). Next morning white feathers across the field where she had run for her life...and the racoon had the NERVE to leave her headless body in my Gazebo, next to my deck!!!

I waited up for him last night and will again tonight and every night until he is history. I hope you find another goose to befriend you.

Thank you all!

It's been a really rough week. I am having a hard time dealing with losing him and the others. It is so sad to sit outside right now because Bruce is not there and I can see the sadness in the 3 that made it that night. Haydee the duck is the loneliest and my 10 yr old son will ask me "when is Haydee gonna stop crying?". Yall are the only ones that don't think we are crazy for missing the ones we lost and worrying about the ones that are safe. I am so glad I have my BYC family and their support.
