Everyone looks so happy. What proud parents. I hope mine love their new "babies" when they suddenly appear. So far I have two girls and a gander in the brooder.
Dewie is growing up wonderfully, Duckie and Darcie protected him and loved him.
Today, my Darcie, my beautiful girl, was killed by a dog. I bawled like a baby, and am tearing up writing this. I got too confident with letting them free range and it got her killed. Duckie and Dewie seem sad, Duckie has been calling for her. She and Dewie slept together every night, he slept on top of her just like the pictures when he was little.
I'm really upset about it, Darcie was my baby.. she let me love on her whenever I wanted.
I lost my favorite goose to my OWN dogs (pups at the time), and I know the feeling of kicking yourself, the terrible grief and regret. At least Baby and Daddy are together, they will forget LONG before you will. Hugs to you for your sorrow
