PABLO!!

One of the sweetest parts of our trip was a little gosling the ranchers had rescued and brought home.  It had been abandoned so they put him in a box with the new chicks they were raising.  He quickly got too big for the box, though, so Callie decided she would take him out and give him some room.  

At first, he was so cramped that he stumbled around on wobbly legs the first day.  But he fell in love with Callie and imprinted on her, so she became his mommy very quickly.  She made this new little pen for him so he would have more room to grow, and she took him out for exercise two or three times a day.  

He went for his first car ride to go see the irrigation channel, but he pooped on Callie's lap, so we came right home!  Hahaha.  Welcome to motherhood!

In his new crate, he started growing quickly and would peep for Callie when she walked away.  He got stronger, though, and after a few days he was running after her with wings spread!
