When Mummy goes on her weekly foraging trip for human kibble, on the way she drops us off with Daddy at a huge field with a big hole in the ground with water in the middle of it. It’s one of our favorite places to go for a sniff. We meet other security details out exercising their humans and lots of big birds called geese vacationing there, visiting from a cold place in the north.
Recently on one of these outings,
the big birds were accompanied by groups of baby birds thatlooked like fluffy
yellow balls with legs. Tobermory says
they’re called goslings. That doesn’t
make much sense to me. Everyone knows
that more than one goose are called geese and not gooses, so shouldn’t more than
one gosling be geesling? If Tobermory is
correct, then maybe I’m really a dogling and not a puppy.
