Sometimes it just takes a friend to get you through.
Other times you find that one that loves you no matter what
There is a pair of the most unlikely companions in our neighborhood. They couldn't be more different. One was born to fly and see the world, while the other much more prone to stay at home and be a local. They come from different backgrounds and different families. And yet...
This most unlikely pair are outside my office window as I type. For months I have watched them and tried to figure out the connection. They are rarely seen apart.
This morning, while being walked by our dogs, I came within 10 feet of these 2. The white domestic goose runs cover for his injured Canadian wild counterpart. Clearly you can see the injured wing that stops the flight of the once mobile bird. No more will she fly away with the rest of the flock she came in with last fall.
Yet a new bond has formed, a new pairing that goes without a lot of fanfare.
A lesson that will probably be missed by many.
To me it is just "way" cool to watch.
