This morning before church Charlie told me his geese were outside wanting their breakfast. I gave him all the bread I had. (today is grocery shopping day) Today there were only 9 geese, but last year he had 44 geese which would come to our yard. They seem to recognize Charlie. He sits down to feed them and waits very patiently until they come to him. They will come out of the water slowly and eat from his hands. He is not afraid in the least. The peck at his clothes and at his fingers and all he does is giggle at them.
As most of you know, I am an animal lover. It gives me a warm fuzzy mommy moment when I see him being gentle to animals and in turn them trusting him. He is like this with all the animals we see on a daily basis, from his dogs to the salamanders and lizards which he must rescue from the cats. He has asked me many times not to disturb a zipper spider's web because they are so interesting to him. He is even kind and tolerates my cats without complaint, almost as well as Jeff does. Angus has taken up residence on his pillow many nights and all Charlie did was move down and not use the pillow! Don't tell Jeff because the pillow and spot on the bed where Charlie is sleeping right now is Jeff's spot. Jeff will be in that spot on Friday night. Angus will be out of luck then.

That's my sweet Charlie. He is very serious most of the time, so when he turns into a giggle box I just love to hear him laugh.
Do we have an up and coming Vet in the family?
I'm telling all of you these sweet hearted boys must be protected from those hard-hearted-hannas that are lerking out there.
Thanks Heather for the sweet peak of "Prince Charles" (as my mom calls him)being a kind soul.
Very sweet. I would have to draw the line at the spider though. LOL. Sweet-hearted boys is right! We do have a good bunch of them, don't we girls?!
I'd have to agree with Amy, our boys are truly wonderful!!! So are the girls, but they do have a demanding streak in them!!
When I was little I was so afraid of the geese at Grandma B.'s house. Of course, they did lower their heads and run after us trying to bite us. Believe it or not, we didn't even do anything to them.
I love seeing the kids in their element!! 5 DAYS!!!!YYYIIPPEE!! Time to buy a really cute outfit!
I love this picture Heather. It shows that even kids enjoy their quiet moments. Yes, we have some good boys, and Jamie that was a really nice way to put it about the girls demanding streak. lol
Hey, LT here....Charlie and I went to Alligator Adventure once. He was feeding the ducks and they were eating out of his hand. Some lady from up north freaked out when she saw this and said to me, "Oh my gosh, don't let him do that!!!! They might bite him!!!" I looked at her like she had two heads and explained to her that they were ducks and the last time I checked....no teeth. Charlie thought it was hilarious....And by the way, Angus better look out.
