Remember reading about this little gosling?
| Pieta as a gosling when we thought she was a he! |
Yes, it was Pieta just over two years ago when
she waddled her way into our lives and hearts! For two years she has been our
early warning system, she has raised a gaggle of Egyptian geese, and has grazed
in our gardens, searching for those 'dissels' that she loves so much. (We have
also trekked through vacant gardens and stopped along the side of the roads to
pull them out and take them home for her.) She has slowed traffic down by just
standing in the road, and has chased bicycles and people that she doesn't know.
She has walked almost daily to the sea for a swim and has made friends with
Alfie and the cats!
| Pieta all grown up! |
And she has been safe in her little corner of the
world.
Until just before Christmas.
