Lucy Goosy
Our little disabled Lucy Goosy is growing up into a beautiful white goose. She no longer has any yellow fuzzy down, just a luxurious covering of white feathers over thick white down. Lucy still runs over to greet me making her baby goose noises but does not let me pick her up for goose hugs any more. She walks with a slight limp and you can see she has to work harder than the other goslings to balance herself. Every now and then she wobbles a bit. Lucy and I have long conversations some days but it's hard with all the other goslings interrupting our bonding time. Lucy has had several fans come to visit her and she is always delighted to greet them. When her visitors see her crooked foot they realize what hard work it is for her to get around and she is to have survived. Goosy does not realize she is crippled or disabled in any way. She runs a little slower than the other ducks and goslings, when climbing over rocks or into the barn she takes careful deliberate, wobbly steps but she always makes it.
She will always be a special goosy girl.
