In introduced Moon to the new ladies,
Juliet and Jamboree, and he LOVES them! At first I put a
fence up between them because he loved them too much! I
told him, "Girls like to be romanced," but he
didn't listen. It's good to see him so interested and
happy again. We're still looking for a Toulouse mate for
him, but this distraction will work for now.
There has been too
much squabbling in the Goose Run between the ganders
and I've finally worked out the source...
Jabberwocky.
Romeo is in love
with Lilly duck and spends most of his days talking
to her (and she with him). Fortunately Piper is not
a jealous drake! So it wasn't him causing any
trouble.
Moon struts around
with Juliet and Jamboree... so it wasn't him.
Pancho is shy and
tends to follow Moon and the ladies or me... so it
wasn't him.
Meanwhile,
Jabberwocky was obsessing over all the duck hens in
the Courtyard pond and he was pacing back and forth,
up and down the fence line. While doing so, he would
recklessly barrel into Moon and then the two would
fight and Jabberwocky would win, which prevented him
from learning to stop the obsessive behavior. Moon
tried a few times to stop him, but he couldn't win
the fight. It made me miss Rio. He would have
stopped it.
In any event, I
moved Jabberwocky to the Bachelor Pad (Louisville)
with Jocamo, Oh Henry! and Ranger. This way he can
be around ducks, which is what he's craving and
there are no geese to fight with. It was an
immediate success. Calmness and serenity have
returned to the sanctuary...
I love this photo
of Jocamo, Oh Henry! and Ranger sleeping together...
so peaceful...
Pancho has taken
to following me all around the sanctuary! He's so
cute! He will get within a couple feet of me and
then stop and talk to me. I think he's saying,
"Are you my Momma?" YES!
Romeo on the pond,
while Pancho watches from his perch on the log:
Look at this great
photo of Obama sleeping opposite Barney. Old pond
buddies...
I have a tv
interview coming up with an anti-Easter pet message.
I wanted to fix up some of the bare wood that didn't
look too pretty, so I painted this mural. It's hard
to see the crowns in them, but they came out really
pretty. And there's Bella walking by!
