It's 10.30 p.m. and I've just had a call from the vet to say that Enid has
just had a seizure and passed away.
They have offered to do a post-mortem (autopsy) free of charge so I've taken
them up on this.
I am so so sad for Shylock. It seems so unfair that he's lost such a young
wife so soon after losing Honk last year.
Finding him another girl won't be easy, there seem to be few geese around
here, and with the news that avian flu has been found in Scotland in a dead
swan, it's likely that movements of waterfowl will be banned.
Poor lad. He is in an extremely bad mood and is hissing at me a lot. I
don't blame him, he's lonely.

Sincere condolences. I know nothing about geese. However, I am wondering
if they ever develop friendship bonds with another species? Or even an
artificial animal? There is a current story of a pit bull mothering
baby kittens. Do you suppose he would "father" some little ducks? As I
said -- just wondering. MLB
