Poor little thing trying to keep up with a jogger like that. He is so terribly cute though.

We have two baby Caanadian geese that were abandoned. Trying to raise them and turn them loose but when we let them out of the pen yesterday they won't even go into the pond.

Any ideas on how to teach them to swim?

Rubber ducky in the pond? Seriously, I've only seen Canadian geese on land, at the edge of the water.

BTW, we had a swan in a lake fall in love with a swan shaped paddle boat. It followed it everywhere, which is why I mentioned the rubber ducky.

Duck or geese decoys floating in the pond? Cheap enough around here.
