Geese.....not cool.

Hoover on Fitness - Tue, September 16 2008

Mom and I had an awesome long walkie this morning. However, towards the end we came upon some things that freaked me out.

No. 1 - Two little dirty white dogs that were on super long leashes came after me. They barked and barked and kept on coming. I didn't think their leash had an end! I didn't bark at them or anything, I was just too amazed at their persistence. Creepy little dogs.

No.2 - Geese. We walked through my sis's old elem. school sidewalk and it was full of geese. I stayed real close to mama and kept behind her. The geese moved away from us in a herd. Let me just say that none of my herding instincts kicked in at all. No thanks... I wasn't even interested in their poop. Those things are bigger than me! I wouldn't do well on a farm.

Mama was so proud of me today. We walked about 2 miles and we encountered people (who had to pet me, of course) and dogs. Not once did I bark. Mom kept telling me I was a good boy and I showed her that I am. I act my very best when I'm walked by myself.

I'm gonna go rest now.

Nice job, Hoover, on the not barking thing. I am, however, disappointed that you didn't try the goose poop. As the brother of my beloved Kirby, I expected more out of you. tsk tsk tsk.

Mmmmm, Hoover man, you missed OUT! That goose poop is a treat! It has so many uses... not only is it delicious, but it is awesome to roll in... Let me tell you, mom LOVES it when not only do i smell like goose poop from a good roll, i've got kickin' goose poop breath.

wow, are you sure you're related to Kirby? no poop? Well I guess I can't blame ya on that one- I wouldn't have touched it either. I am impressed that you walked 2 miles!!! I don't even know what two miles looks like but I'll bet I'd have to be carried by the end...

If I was the one over there, I would never have left.

Hoovie Man, we are so proud of you. (I personally am afraid of Geese)

My mom and I hide in the tall grass where the geese gather...we're real quiet...then she unleashes me and I charge at them full speed! One day, I'm going to catch one. You'll see. It's so much fun! Mom wasn't sure if I was bred for sport or show, but now I think she knows the answer!

Oh I wholeheartedly agree! There is no lovelier scent than eau de goose-toilet! Do try covering your entire left side from nose to tail in it, then roll on your back to ensure it's ground in real good. It's just right when the fur on your scruff is all stiff and stinky.

Highly recommended!

I am a goose wrangler, too, Ruby! They are so much fun to chase.

Hoover, could you send some of those geese to my house. I'd love to chase them, but we don't have any.

Good job on the not barking stuff. That's one of mom's "issues" with me. I have no idea why the woman thinks I need to be quiet. Anyway, terrific job keeping the mom happy!
