This week I was attacked. Seriously. I went out for a run in the morning and I was attacked by a flock of geese! It sounds really lame, but it really was scary!
So here's the story. I was running along by the river, looking at the water and the lily pads and the rabbits (I swear I'm in the middle of the forest). I turned a corner and I saw a whole huge flock of geese crossing the road. There were about 6 adults and a ton of babies. I slowed down to watch them cross and started thinking of lame funny jokes about why the goose crossed the road.
When they had all crossed I ran past them, still looking at all them out of the corner of my eye. I didn't see one little baby still on the other side of the road. All the sudden 3 of the adults started chasing after me, flapping their wings, and honking like crazy. I was so scared and started sprinting like crazy to get away from them. In the process of running away from the adults I realized that I was chasing the baby down the road and making the adults even more mad at me!
I finally got around the baby and away from the crazy honking scary geese, but my heart was beating so fast and I was so scared! Now whenever I go down that road I think, "This is where those killer geese live!"

Glad to hear you survived, Tami, and I can totally relate. I was attacked by a deer once. It was the worst physical accident I've ever experienced and I'm still psychologically scarred. Seriously.
People don't realize that animals are cute and generally harmless...until they're not.
Katie thinks it's so funny that I'm afraid of animals, but I think I'm the wise one and she's naive.

When I was younger, my friend got chased by a goose. I still remember how mean and scary they were! So even though I don't know how it feels to be chased by a goose, I have witnessed the terror! :)
Oh Tami, this story is HILARIOUS!!!! I am so proud of you for out running those things...they are SUPER mean!!!!! Come back to Idaho soon!
Hi Tami,
I'm Annie's Mom, and I hope you don't mind me looking at your blog! I loved your story! It was hilarious, and reminded me of when Annie's brother Ryan was six years old and was chased by some geese when we on vacation in CA! It brought back old memories! Glad you got away from them. They are mean!!!
