Also in the series "My family and other animals," although it would be more to say "animals and my family," the geese are Gina and Pina.
They landed in the gardens about three years ago, or four, for his birthday my mom. I'd feel guilty if you did not add that it all starts with my own joke. If I had kept the mouth shut, at this point we would not have these problems. However, you can not change the past, when my dad, unsure of gifts to buy, I asked an opinion, I said, given the passion of my mother for everything about the funny two-legged white and swaying, "but we take two geese. " I told a joke, though.
My dad had taken him seriously, so the evening ran closer to the breeding house, bought two yellow chicks in the garage and locked them inside a wooden box because the scacazzassero his valuable Moto Guzzi. The next morning, wake up early to sneak back to the birds, respectively primping with a red ribbon and a rose and take them on the porch, still in their mailbox. At
squawking unknown, my mother looked out the balcony and saw two chicks begging for battered yellow and maternal love. The melted my heart.
The beginnings were idyllic: it was summer, and the little trotting behind us every time one of us came out in the garden, and chirped because we stop to wait. They were so funny, while trudging through the grass always too high for them, and keeps them proud as we affectionately pecked fingers when held out of the blades of grass eat. Unfortunately
soon came adolescence, and this is also presented to mental illness that had never occurred before. Meanwhile, they were no longer the sweet and soft feathery chicks, but two ocotti half-cut, plucked, and the whitish outline of the feathers, which rattled the wings too small for running the garden. It was a sadly comical sight to see the efforts of the two feathers to take off in flight, and we expect that the change is complete for the last two white birds that my mother dreamed of.
One day, when the suit was not yet complete, my brother had brought the two geese to take a stroll through the garden. Sat down and began to extend the usual grass the birds, when suddenly one of the two wide the wings and set a human with empty eyes and menacing, he rushed against the beak in the middle of the forehead. And this was the beginning.
Another afternoon, after lunch as we passed an outdoor camping out at the table still laid, two dogs came to our ever-them-so, who began to fight to get a little brotherly 'notice. Immediately, one of the two geese that were militating around the table to check that order reigns and masterfully played the role of policeman, rushed to separate the two litigants, and gotten plenty on the head and hips. I have never seen my dogs run away with one click so fast, and yes I spent two years in vedermeli escape from under the nose.
Since that day, the dogs were shot and well off with his tail between his legs, looking right down 'approach to the pair of feathered policemen who patrolled night and day in the garden. When the so-called man's best friend went off to become experts in pet-Therapie, I'm sure that the two birds felt inordinately pleased in having removed from the scene of two competitors to the control of the garden.
At the same time, began to become clear that the two were not webbed and Gina Pina as we had hoped so, but Jim and Nancy. No goose eggs, and then, and nothing new pulcinotti cheerfully chirping to animate the garden.
With the arrival of autumn, the beginning of the school and return to everyday life, the geese-er, the Ochi-began to spend much time alone. We no longer had the ability to follow and accompany them on long walks outdoors, and they slowly forgot about us and we removed out of their small brain. Our faces mean nothing to them, although we saw every day, which meant the rupture of the report: identify us as strangers, and as such we would go away.
But this is what I would think a normal goose. Ours, with their delusions of omnipotence, they thought that as we went outside permanently deleted, and we aim to continue their pointed wings and neck stretched wide open, fluttering in a little friendly whenever we dared set foot in their area of \u200b\u200bexpertise. That meant every time you put your nose out of the house, because the two pens were bizarrely convinced to be master of the universe.
Unfortunately there was never any way to recognize us as friends again, and despite following the arrival of spring and our presence more and more assiduous in the garden, the two continues with impunity and to point us to do those races at the Olympics if the dream .
had become a problem just open the gate of their fence: as soon as the lock snapped, the two rushed against the door, forcing him to withdraw duties but little ladies accompanied by howls and screams of terror echoing.
To give us an attitude and groped to escape the sad fate of being subdued by a couple of ducks, geese - we started wandering around the garden equipped with a stick.
I'm not kidding. Try to make you stick a pair of geese-let me continue to emphasize this, because I would totally put into focus the question: Are we talking about geese. Quack-Quack. Webbed feet and tail wagging in rhythm with the rocking gait. I do not mean Rottweiler or kicking of zebras. Those who had taken power in our garden were two geese geese .- Assatanate, I said, and then see who laughs. The situation had become dangerous: they could no longer leave the house without feeling the fierce hissing behind. At that point we fell, we reinforced the door behind her and after-appropriate rites of encouragement in the mirror and flexed their muscles, they just came out with guns.
Unfortunately, following the arrival of winter, saw a tragedy.
While we were away from home-all in the days of the blackbird, a dog that is not cold-imagined, the two geese had managed to escape from the fence, and preparing plans to attack the machines once we went home, had given walks to the plot.
One day she strolls ended, one of two gay friends ventured into the pool, then frozen, and perhaps after strenuous struggles to get out, perhaps abandoning languidly in the cold, drowned.
Maybe it was suicide, because it is the first case of goose drowned in I hear.
When we returned, we found the grisly spectacle to goose wings outstretched neck and drowned, while his companion was waiting poolside, squawking and calling him to come out and stopped the joke, because that was starting to worry. It was a scene of an infinite sadness.
