True Sportsmanship...and a Pair of Geese

Hello everyone!  The video I have chosen for this post is three minutes in length...and a heartwarming story about true sportsmanship!  I hope it touches your hearts as it has mine.

Remember the post I made a few days ago or so about a gander that attacked me and grabbed my pant leg?  Well, here is the pair of geese...the gander is the one in front with his neck stretched out.  Nasty little guy.  :)

Quotation:  There are only two ways to live your life.  One is as though nothing is a miracle.  The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

Quotation:  In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.
- Albert Einstein

Thank you all so much for visiting me here!  I really appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share by clicking on the 'comments' link at the end of my post.

  9. We have enough geese around here that I'm amazed I've not had one go after me! They do have a way of owning the neighborhood don't they?

  17. Excellent quotation - - first one - - by Einstein! I had not seen that video. I am surprised because my husband watches sports ALL the time - - - or a great majority of the time. He may have seen it though and not mentioned it to me. That bird of yours looks ready to attack again. They are definitely quite territorial, aren't they?
