It was true to say that Crisp, my aged companion, didn’t like geese.
We were on a visit to Trout’s farm and the geese met us at the front gate as we alighted from our car.
“You go first,” said Crisp standing behind me.
“They’re only geese,” I said, stepping around them with Crisp standing closer to me than normal. Crisp was a lover of her body space, usually arm’s length from me, but today she was sacrificing that need.
“Nasty things geese,” she exclaimed, “as a kid, they chased me around the farm, they have a very nasty peck.”
They must have sensed Crisp’s fear for they started squawking, circling her as if they identified her as someone distrustful of them, and they were right.
It turned out to be one of the rare times on our holiday where Crisp showed how light-footed she could be.

I can’t blame her. They can be nasty vicious things. Though I’ve found if your stand you ground … bur if you run, they’ll chase you. From whence, maybe, their bad rep.
I shall pass on your advice to Crisp. She may take on your wisdom though watching her hop about was entertaining 😇
Rather a goose come honking and flapping than a swan with her young.
I agree with Crisp, also chickens can be nippy
Geese I think are far more savage.
Bigger choppers!
Love your Crisp stories, Michael, and this one didn’t disappoint 😀
Thanks Lyn.
They sure can be nippy and the Canadian Geese are even worse.
I believe so. Thanks for stoping by.
So funny!
Sorry Crisp!
Hi Dale, I think she is developing a thick hide as time goes by.
You may be correct…
And when their finished with her…. Delightful Crisp and Mike adventure as always Michael…
Thanks Violet I’m glad you find them entertaining
