Got our holiday goose yesterday :)



Second year in a row mama Embden has tried to make a. nest in the fall, and this guy's egg was the only one not yet damaged by cold. So, I have lots of eggs for baking, AND a fluffy Solstice present :D

So, being an "only", we have a problem. I've named him. His name is Nugget. He's had his first meal, first walk/run/fall over and flail about, and he's imprinted on people. He's only happy when he can see a person or is tucked into a shirt. He's currently in a box wrapped in a towel, and I'm having to kick/wiggle the box to simulate me carrying him around, or else he pops out of the towel and yells. Loud and long. I tried Jaye's awesome little fake mama, but it wasn't fooling Nugget for a second, unless I wiggle the box. It's like rocking a fussy baby lol! It's going to be a very long night.

Would a small mirror in the box keep him company?

Baby bouncy seat? little Einstein toy? iPod? Snuglee? or whatever they are called these days?
Kangaroo pouch? perhaps attached to a teeny weeny kangaroo? ;)
You know you are doomed now right? ;)
