It's a challenging start to the day when DD, caretaker of all waterfowl, comes back in asking for help because one of the geese is out.  I thought, "Oh, no, the dogs will get it."  Fortunately, they weren't a threat, it was outside of the entire property.  Relief.  It wasn't leaving, either, because it's partner was still inside the fence.  They kept walking together, one inside and one out.  DD tried to grab it, but if you know geese, you know they are a little intimidating up close and personal.  A hissing goose is a scary sight.  I got a bucket, at her request.  Good enough.  She got close, and put the bucket over it's head.  However, DS was dragging a bit, and not yet out to help.  She couldn't control the silly goose (pun intended), and it was soon running the fence again with it's partner.  DS came along with a requested blanket.  Bucket over the head of goose, almost containing the whole critter, and blanket underneath, they got enough of a hold that the poor honking and hissing creature was powerless.  They dropped it as gently as they could over the fence, and the dazed creature emerged from the bucket, somewhat relieved to be back in it's pen with partner and goats.  And that  is problem solving in progress!

Blessings from the ranch!
