Aww, I bet it was great for him to spend some time with you, getting close to a person and taking food from you! Maybe he waited for you to get there, probably just so he could say bye.
Rest in peace lovely, thoughts are with you Ant, x
Oh! I'm so sorry to hear Ant! Very hard when you get to know them personally. Just like any person you see at work every day. I had no idea of their lifespan. Hopefully that's all it was, and that he lived out a good happy life.
Ant! I'm so sorry! What an awful experience to have the poor creature pass away right then and there. On the other hand, it's so comforting to know that you weren't the only person in your workplace who cared a great deal for the poor gander: it seems like he'll be missed by quite a few people as well as his wives. I hope they settle back down quickly to life as usual and I'm sure you'll help them do that with little tidbits and conversation. RIP Mr Goose: you were a good goose!
Oh Ant, that is heartbreaking! I am so sorry Those poor females must be so confused and lost right now.
