Lives end and lives begin

Annie is drifting away slowly. No human love can anchor her to the earth that separated her from her mother and her best friend.

And Piers-Goose, her protector and companion through the last few days has had to focus his attention elsewhere. His wife, Pandora, after many failed hatchings....has produced 4 beautiful and perfect little goslings.

Piers and Pandora have taken them up to visit Annie in the hay-shed numerous times in the last 48 hours, often while I'm there feeding Annie.

They are truly awe-inspiring little creatures and they give me such hope for the future.

I've had to fish them out of nasty places and help them over obstacles, and their parents have enough faith to let me handle them without attacking me. What a privilege!

My heart is so touched by Piers visiting Annie........ and bringing Pandora and the babies to visit her today. There is so much that we don't know about inter-species communication.
