[Cha Cha]

I am not nearly as afraid of the wild version as I am of the domestic ones. My parents raised the great big dark colored ones mean ones, and yes I have been attacked by them. I came walking out my back door and a goose grabbed me in the back side. I reached around and grabbed her by the neck to get her off of me, and when I did that her wings beat down on my bony forearm, and my dog, a miniature schnauzer at the time, was going for the goose to protect me. So I had quite the chaos going for a moment. I finally let her go to calm the dog but I was really angry at the moment and could have had goose for dinner. She did rip the skin on my butt leaving a bruise there and left forearm red and swollen from her wings. I'm glad it wasn't a gander because they are meaner. We didn't even have babies at the time it was completely unprovoked. My parents thought it was quite funny, but I will never go around them without a stick of some kind. Yes, they can inflict damage.
