11、we were his new family, and my twin sister Joanna called the little guy Peeper.Almost a year passed and we settled into a routine filled with feathery hugs and company. One evening, my uncle came over, and my dad threw Peeper up into the air to show he could fly around the house, but this time, Peep

At first, I assumed it was just another Canada goose. After two weeks of the goose coming back repeatedly, it became clear to me tha
