George and the Frozen Pool

George was having a pretty good day today, but then he realized everything was frozen.

He really wanted to take a swim in the pool, but the pool would not cooperate.
So George had to improvise and pretend to swim. He was pretty good at it.

Good boy, George. It should warm up tomorrow and hopefully your pool will thaw.

After his pretend swim, George had a nice nap on my lap. He is not very much of a lap goose, and you have to catch him to get him to sit with you. But if you’re nice about it, he settles right down and will have a good conversation with you before napping.
Sweet dreams, George.

That’s a good work out George:-)
George knows you need a bath before taking a nap. The duck has personality. My husband says tell George to suggest a heated pool
That was TOO funny! Gotta love that Georgie-Boy! <3
That George is becoming a fast favourite after Flapper. What a ham! What a sweet boy!
Love George’s awesome wing span!
When reality doesn’t suit you, create your own. Way to go, George.
Um, did Flapper not tell you that the human has an indoor pool? She calls it a “bathtub.” You need to get up in that.
Gosh, that was so cute to watch him wipe his head on the frozen grass. I’m going to miss George a lot. Looking forward to it warming up past the freezing point here in Seattle.
That George is really something else – what personality! And he’s also quite handsome. I sure am going to miss hearing about him and his silly antics. Mr Flapper, are you sure your people doesn’t need a forever goose to keep the yard interesting?

Wonderful! George, you’re quite magnificent. And entertaining, too. Tiff, your pictures of George are stunning. The colors and details just knock me out.
George is too funny! I love this video and keep watching it over again.
George is quite a character. I will miss him when he goes to his forever home. For now, I am thoroughly enjoying him.
