Shannon, glad your vet is going to take more action... and how sweet of your hubby to take your baby there.

Sue, love the pics!! Squishy is adorable! I remember when he was hatched, too. So cool to see them grow up!

Dutch, here is a link to the Santa Barbara Zoo's page on their special penguin. It has videos and a detailed sketch of the shoe design. http://www.sbzoo.org/animals/lucky-penguin

Great Goose pics Psue!
I get all the fun of raising the puppies, and I did keep 3 girls, so I still have my hands full for sure !
going to go buy a bunch of sand & get some river rock for round the base so the mud will stay down (uh huh yea right)

Fred, Ethel and kids taken yesterday... She's only got 3 of the 5 hatched but these appear to be healthy She's a geat mom for being her first year... Ethel was clumsy and not watching where he walked the first few days but he's much better now. I'll be glad when I can let all of them hang out as one flock

front to back Squishy (3 months) Baby (2 months) and Julie's Elvis (4 months) btw Elvis thinks Baby is just awesome and him and Squishy are buddies

Halloween (gray 7 week old) is from Fred and Ethel's eggs and Dora (5 weeks) from the Embden eggs Jerry bought



Squishy's favorite game... grab Mom's keys if your not getting attention

I tend to have them clipped on a belt loop


Good luck on the shoes for Spirit... I'm usually staying caught up on here but not on long enough to really chat...
I've got Sumatra chicken eggs in the bator

So whats new with everyone else?

I called the vet from work, she has agreed to flush the crop on my little girl. My DH is taking her over there for me. I am so happy but I'm very scared at the same time. Wish us luck!!!

Good Luck Shannonmeans! I've been wondering about the baby. Lost my internet connection device for a day, and so I'm way behind.

The second Mommy:

Father of the goslings:

Bruce and her babies:

Kevin, the babies are so cute, and it looks like Bruce is getting with the program. Go ahead and get attached, goose mamas tend to do good work. If shes got dad helping, even better.

Thanks! She's been very good so far and doesn't let them stray too far. Dad was a deadbeat

. So he got booted out.

That is absolutely remarkable! I bet they can come up with something that will work for Spirit....then you will have a bionic horse, and a bionic goose! lol

Okay, just talked to the vet. She thinks the actual impaction is further down and that it had just backed up into the crop. They didn't get much out except a lot of fluid, a little grass and...are you ready for this? Feathers!!! The little brat probably did it when she was being mean to the other babies. She is the wing biter I was talking about. She wants to see her back tommorrow. She sent her home with special food and more meds. More tomorrow. Thanks guys, You've really made me feel better. I tend to make myself miserable with my negativit. You've all been so supportive.

Kevin, What kind of geese babies do you have? They look like Toulouse. It only takes about 5.5 seconds to be attached to them. You're already a goner.

Jaz, What kind of pups did you sell? Post us some pics. I love pups.

Janet, After talking to you last night I hardened my resolve. I had a mean talk with DH today and he saw it my way. He will still gripe, but he knows when to give in.

Dutch, I went on a ride in Zion national park one time and it was on my list of all time greatest experiences. You should definately take some trips to Utah. It's beautiful there. I like your new horse too. My mother always said, and I qoute: "Shannon thinks that if a horse is grey, it has NO Faults". And you now she was right!

I was right! I swear, I should be a vet.

So what will happen? Is the vet hoping it will just work it's way out? What meds did she put her on?

You kept three!?! I've gotta show this post to my hubby, to prove that I am not crazy. When I had four dogs he thought that was excessive.
