Two geese came to live with us in spring of 2002. John named them after his paternal grandparents, Pop and Millie. I never thought of geese as pets, but we've come to love these big buggers. And it's fascintating to watch them grazing on the grass and splashing in the puddles. Not as fascinating to find they pecked the clean laundry in the basket with thier muddy beaks but you can't have everything!

The guinea go into the walled court yard to avoid the dogs and eat grasshoppers (yeah!). I caught a picture of them looking into the "big people coop" through the window. And then was able to get a picture of one in flight up to the wall!
