When Mike Jivanjee rescued a tiny gosling drowning in Lake Oswego in Oregon,
he didn't know he just got himself a BFF for life. 'One of my friends noticed
her drowning in the water, like almost desperate, alone,' Mike said. 'At any
minute she would have been run over by a boat.'
So Mike took her in and named the little goose Kyle, took her home and planned to release her. 'I just figured I would keep it alive long enough to be an adult and to fend for itself,' he said 'And then the goose would go on her way.' But that's not how it worked out. 'I've tried to get rid of her, you know. I've driven her miles away and then left her in the middle of nowhere and when I come back she's already home before me, so there's not a lot we can do,' Mike said. While the owner plays it tough and unavailable, he revealed he is just as smitten with Kyle as the goose is with him. The ten-pound Canadian goose even gets defensive and jealous around Jivanjee's women. 'When girls come around and she senses they're a threat, she lets them know. She's smart enough to know actually who the threats are and who they aren't,' Jivanhee said. |
