rfassett Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Cute story. Reminds me of Jim. Jim was a goose that, as the story goes, was going to be Christmas dinner at my Mom's house shortly before she married. Well, Mom had a sister and between the two of them, there was no way Jim was going to make it to the dining table. So years went by and for years Jim survived the Christmas season. Jim became my Grandfather's close pet. I can still see my Grandmother in the window when we grandkids would go out with Grandpa to feed Jim. I learned at an early age how fast geese are and the sting of their bite. For whatever reason, Jim knew the dangers of the highway in front of my grandparents house and he took it upon himself to make sure that we grandkids never got too close to the road. Pretty intelligent creatures, those geese. I miss Jim. Thanks for the reminder! Quote
