Unbeknownst to her, the Geese were incredibly dangerous and with one hard flap of their wings could have seriously hurt her.

Fortunately for Mookie, the Geese decided that retreat was the better part of valor and usually flew off when Mookie came calling.

Then Mookie would return to me, shake the stinking Goose pond water all over me, and then we would both need baths.

Ah, what great times you’re going to have with Midnight, especially when you take her to Lake Ontario. Dogs love the Great Lakes, our first dog, Buffy, loved Lake Michigan. She followed my brothers and I into the cold lake when she was only 3 months old and afterwards looked like a drowned sewer rat after she got out and rolled in the sand. When we got in the car to head back to Detroit, Buffy cried the whole way back. Every vacation we took with her when we went up north to Lake Michigan, she was excited and fine. Every return trip she would not stop crying. She LOVED the smell of the fresh air and being by the water. There is no doubt.

I hope you’re feeling better!

Cheers!
