Rose:
I’ll just have to tell you this little story.  We had a goose come to us.  And we had the goose about three and a half years.  And something happened to it, we went to this fisherman forum over here in Rockland, and when we got back, the goose had disappeared and we don’t know whether someone had shot it, or it just took off—but it had a mate, and something happened to the mate.  And they always said that they never got another mate.  If anything happened to one, the other would go on in life without mating with another goose.  Well, I got telling somebody, I said, “you know, the way society is today, maybe she’s taken off with another goose!”  I never did know what happened to her.

Andy:
She was so friendly, probably somebody ate her.
