There is a fine art to being a goose chaser EXTRAORDINAIRE of which I happen to be one! So today I am going to share my VAST knowledge of Goose chasing with you.Step 1 - It begins with a indifferent attitude - making the Geese think they are not even worthy of being looked at. Note the indifferent gazing to the left and thought projecting a "ho hum attitude" which lulls the Geese into thinking you haven't even noticed them.
Step 2 - Next, you nonchalantly start sniffing the ground and pretending not to notice them .....slowly work your way closer to them - you can even pretend you are trying to avoid stepping in Goose poop like Mom does!
Step 3 - Finally - give a humungous bark (which literally does scare the poop out of them) and then lunge - barking and stamping your booted (or unbooted) feet at them! Make sure you hold your tail high up in the air - it makes you look even bigger and scarier. Ahhhhh there is nothing better than hearing that frightened squawking and flapping as they head for the water - YEAH that will teach them Geese to stay off MY land! A job well done - you can then proceed on your walk while feeling pretty darn proud of yourself.
Ranger reminded us that today is National Cow Day - this one is for all the crazy cow lovers out there :)
Thanks for sharing your wisdom. We don't have many geese encounters, but now we know what to do. Any tips for bunny control?
ReplyDeleteOMD we LOVE your STEP by STEP
ReplyDeleteGoosetorial. We wrote it all down and will be READY if our hill is ever invaded by those Goose Guyz!!
THANKS!!!
I am most impressed with your nonchalant attitude in steps one and two! How the heck do you do that Reilly? My two would be barking their heads off a mile away.
ReplyDeleteYou are an excellent goose chaser! Well done.
LOL darn proud you should be too. You showed whose land it was for sure. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
I'm deep impressed - what a smart trick! I will follow your advice when I will meet geese. ... what's with the Goose-Bon Bons - they are a prey too, right?
ReplyDeleteWell we will file that info away for when we have some Goosies or Duckies here, we gots no water around to attract them thingies!

Pees; you did do a great job of showing them guys whose land it is!
Hey guys I want you to know that I pawreciate you! *giggle*
ReplyDeleteAbout those geese...They're kind of scary aren't they? I chase the ducks that come by my house sometimes but they just fly away...I hear that geese might just chase me back...
Hey, we forgot to say we "pawreciste" COW spot puppers!
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
Gosh I am impressed. You sure showed those geese who is boss around your place. None of this 'won't say boo to a goose' nonsense when you're around, that's quite clear.
ReplyDeleteWell done pal.
Toodle pip!

What a crazy cow. Not sure how 'Stupid Cupid' goes with a cow. Must be some surreal connection.
ReplyDeleteHappy Cow Day! (We missed it because it's tomorrow here.)
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
be careful with those geese. They are the reason I don't like taking walks. They tried to attack me.

You have it down to a science, Reilly and goose poop is your treat too, right?!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥

That goose game sounds like it must be fun every single time. Silly creatures. Of course some doggies (not me of course) would consider that goose poop the icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteThe cow is, well, disturbing. I think you can keep it, thank you very much.
Kisses,
Dexter
Hey Reilly! Can you ask your Mom if she'll make me a sheltie tote bag? She can email me...dawnkinster@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteI know, as experts, you don't need any help, but next time you are out with those geese, Huxley would LOVE to join you!
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't either of you chasing that cow?!
ReplyDeleteExcellent lesson. I am going to remember this the next time we head down to our lake. Hope you get one one day!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tips. My Lily ate the poop once too
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
I am totally impressed with your prowess! I saw geese when I went to Lincoln Park, I just stayed away they were bigger than me. I did chase the ducks away though! Love Dolly
