Calling the Police....on a goose

We have a variety of pets at our house ranging from a bassett hound to a rabbit to chickens, ducks, doves, pigeons, and geese. We love them all, but sometimes they don't leave each other so well. We purchased 2 geese about 3 years ago and as they grew, we realized that we didn't have the female:male combo that we thought. Instead, we have 2 males who have begun to fight. So, when I was in court on Friday, I asked one of the officers who I knew had a farm if she needed a goose. She declined because she doesn't have any other fowl but she called the Sheriff's Dept. and another officer said he would take him.

On the way home from daycare on Friday, Ash overhead me on the phone saying that the officer would be over on Saturday to pick-up the goose and he started wailing. I explained to Ashton that the geese were fighting and that if we didn't separate them that they were going to hurt each other and possibly even kill one another. I answered a few more questions and then we moved on to a different topic.

Yesterday morning, the officer came to pick-up the goose. Ashton went with his Daddy later that day to his grandmother's house and told his Aunt Denise that I had called the police because the geese were fighting and the police came and took away one of our geese. Denise told Jason what he had said because she thought Ashton was confused. He laughed and explained the situation to her and when he got home, he told me what Ash had said. I knew Ashton kept asking why the policeman was in a truck and not in his patrolcar, but I had no idea that Ash thought the goose was going to jail!
