Wild Friends

Louey and Dewey the ducks were killed by a critter last Wednesday, leaving Huey all by his lonesome, with only occasional visits from the guineas to keep him going.  We did end up getting him another buddy, but before we did, he found his own new friend:

A lone Canadian goose showed up late Thursday and became instant buddies with Huey.

They hang out together constantly, and the goose has managed to get Huey out into the deeper part of the pond for the first time. 

And Huey has taught the goose that when I call “chickie chickie chickie”, you’d better run to the front of the house for scratch grains before the chickens eat it all.

Give it a few weeks and the goose will be marching into the house and demanding food along with the rest of the beggars!
