The most interesting thing to happen today was at about dusk. Maddie (our dog) started going crazy, and the geese were honking and making all kinds of noise. I looked out the kitchen window to see a van in the driveway, but no one coming to the front door. I checked the kitchen/garage door and no one was at that door, either. OK, so as the van was still there and the geese were still going nuts, I put my shoes on and went outside, only to find a man being held hostage between his van and the house by the Mik Geese! :lol:
I went out into the garage and asked if I could help him. Well, it turns out he was one of those guys selling "meat" and said he had some extra and was selling it at cost. I told him that my husband is a meat cutter and I'm not allowed to buy any meat. LOL Ok, so that's a half-truth. Greg is a former meat cutter, and of course, I can buy anything I want! Still, it doesn't allow for argument when someone comes to the door selling meat!
He looked at the geese and commented on them, and I mentioned how they're better than a guard dog! I mentioned that he should be careful, because Larry was looking like he was going to attack. He told me that he's been "chased by every animal known to man" and that geese don't bother him. Mind you, he's saying this while keeping VERY close eye on the geese! He then VERY SLOWLY started backing up to get back into the van. Meanwhile, his partner is sitting in the van watching all this. I went up to the geese and told them that "it's OK" and "shushed" them and they actually listened! You could tell from the look on the driver's face that he was amazed! I was, too, as they NEVER listen! LOL At least I didn't look like a completely crazy lady!
Anyway, that's our funny story for the day! As much of a pain in the butt the geese may be, they ARE good for some things -- especially getting rid of salesmen!! :lol: :D
Godspeed,
Julie
