LOL, we've got a right grumpy one, but since he's nearly blind, he wouldn't be much use for keeping an eye on anything!  Actually, he spends most of his time trying to keep up with his hareem of two old biddies, along with generally bumping into things (bless!)  ;D

Whereabouts are you? I have a bonded pair of geese that I am going to sell and the gander scares my Wolfhound  ;D

well, what can i say, but a huge thank you Rob, the gang are safely home and enjoying hissing at the dog :)

the catching turned out to be easy work, Rob had half of them already confined, and the other 2 didn't put up half the fight i expected!


very happy here now!  :love: ;D ;D ;D
