Well Plowboy... we did a great job of getting Goose to her new family... was very happy she drove up onto the trailer ... on winch needed ... all went safe and sound, everything tied down quick and easy for sure.. sad to see her leaving though... gotta get something else up and running for you...
I will always remember how he used to tease us all with his gruff Yankee voice, yes it was way to quick and too soon, he is going to be missed very much..
You should have called after you got there so I could have come out and given him crap for not having the right tires in his truck and been able to stand and watch and laugh at him.....we have just as much snow here just down the road....lol
