An Angry Goose Stole My Poor Dog’s House (Peace Was Never an Option)

[@GoldShawFarm]

So this video seems more controversial than I thought it would be. As a bit of a quick update, the goose is still living in the house. I could get her out, but because she has a good nest going right now, I don't want to break it up. Toby is content to sleep in the goose house. He seems to like it better. Believe me, if I thought Toby was not happy with the situation, I would chase the goose out, but that doesn't seem to be the case. So it seems like a win-win to me and we'll hopefully get some goslings in about a month. I know that not everyone agrees with that approach. I also believe that everyone who watches our videos is entitled to an opinion. But that said, I always have to do what I think is best for the farm. Which is sometimes not the popular thing.

[@ZachSwena]

As long as the dog has a place he is comfortable with.

[@LuckyMoniker]

dogs make do! makes sense to not interrupt a good bird's nesting especially if you are hoping to teach them good nurturing instincts (says the person who has never raised a bird) but i wouldnt worry about Toby, and now you know how to fix the issue moving forward

[@ellietobe]

In other words you care more about the few dollars those eggs will bring you than the dog. No, don’t worry about the dog. He is just an unpaid worker. Why should he have a comfortable bed to sleep in when it is freezing out. Someone should turn you into the spca.

[@julialee7491]

I mean, doesn't make too much sense to me because I thought the whole point was because Toby didn't have a place to sleep and you felt bad because he took shelter UNDER the goose house. I'm sure you have your reasons as you've explained, and although they don't make sense to me, it overall just seems a bit unfair to Toby again as the geese have taken priority again.

Straw is a better insulator and won't get wet or freeze like blankets or a dog bed would. Flaps for the door would probably work better to keep the geese out.

I agree. Get the straw out of there and put in one of those raised dog beds. They're like a trampoline. My dogs always tore the flaps off of their dog house. And my German Shepards would sleep in snow banks. They'd be nowhere to be seen until they were called, then the snow bank would erupt. So, I wouldn't worry about Toby dog too much.

Morgan, you may want to consider attaching curtains to the entrance of Toby's house; the heavy semi-transparent kind that are used commercially at freezer and cold storage entries. They part as you enter. Geese may find them daunting while Toby can get used to them. They are durable and while Toby may not need it, they also provide an extra measure of protection from wind and cold.

[@caffienevaccine]

yes!! And he can leave a paw sticking out without a draft

I thought of draping the door too but I wonder if a guard dog wants good visibility from his resting spot?

[@matthewmedow5482]

@@curiouscat3384 That occurred to me, but, as it is, visibility would be no greater than 180 degrees from within his house and Toby would have to rely more surely on his keen hearing.

One channel ("Walter Santi") has 3 indoor cats and a pride of outdoor cats (adopted strays, in good health, all in Turkey). One of the indoor cats, Santi, is easily annoyed by the other 2, younger indoor cats. So human found a small room for Santi to use and put an electronic device on the door that recognizes the (in effect) pass key on Santi's collar. Cat learned to use it quickly because only he can enter and enjoy the room all his own. I bet something similar could be used for Toby's and Pablo's doors so that only they could enter once they learned that their doors responded to them and only them.

Hi Morgan. I'm watching your videos for a few months now and i got really inspired to work with animals as well. unfortunately i have terminal cancer and can't really plan very far ahead. but i saw an ad for voluntary help in the small farm here in the park right near my house! so i'm going to try and help them with their chickens, rabbits, guinneepigs, sheeps and goats! a few hours a week, seems fun, feeding them, cleaning their place a bit, letting them in or out, collecting eggs, etc... unfortunatly they don't have ducks or a dog! but they have a cat! looking forward to it, i'll start next week...

[@Mulberrysmile]

I’m not a doctor, so this isn’t medical advice. You might be interested looking up research on Frankincense (Boswellia Serrata) and various types of cancer. Some of them even mention doses. You can purchase it in bulk on Amazon for cheap cheap, or get capsules. It tastes like perfume and has to be mixed with oil if you buy the powder. I started getting the capsules because I dreaded taking the oil mixture and the flavor. It isn’t bad, but is like kissing someone on the cheek who just put on aftershave. A quick rinse of the mouth with water takes the taste away rapidly, but I decided to make my life easier. I take it daily as an anti inflammatory instead of ibuprofen which causes heart damage. Research is showing it is likely good for many ailments, including arthritis, COPD, cancer of various types, and more...I discovered it because it is already being included in OTC joint pain treatment. It was included in the oldest medicinal text known...3000 years old! Some rare people get elevated heart rate, but I haven’t experienced that. Other rare people had a few days of diarrhea or flatulence, and it may have been from killing off some bad gut things...it is also useful for ulcers caused by bacterial infection in the gut. Enjoy your days and don’t be scared. The other side of biological life is real and very very beautiful. ✨💖✨

When I was a child my family had a dog -- a mixed breed -- named Flora. This was so long ago, but we never forgot Flora. She'd always come running before we had a chance to get the key in the door. No other pet can return affection, as much as a dog does. And working dogs do just that and more: they look out for your best interests and are happy with whatever they get in return. Our beloved Flora got hit by a car. I wasn't even school age yet, but it was the first sense of grief and loss I experienced. We were so besides ourselves that we couldn't think of replacing Flora, so we didn't. For a great while it pinged to turn the key in the door to know that Flora wasn't coming. I think of Flora sometimes when I look at Toby. He's got that same loyal spirit; he is a darling dog.

Maybe in that corner of the barn just build a small covered box with straw with the entrance facing away from the main door. broody chickens and ducks like total PRIVACY and quiet when they're sitting so I assume geese do too. I don't think they're just randomly picking spots - they're searching for privacy. Then put up a DO NOT DISTURB sign :)

[@rowanheart8122]

Toby just looks so sad and dejected in the whole video

[@melissarecord7102]

Poor Toby, he keeps getting kicked out of his houses.

[@lesliea9741]

Poor Toby!!!

[@banga-rang7697]

Just add a flap and get a normal weatherized dog bed. The straw is probably attracting birds and Toby will want nothing to do with that house if you let the geese stay.

[@carlhamer3762]

Tobey's just too damn nice to your birds. Poor guy keeps them safe and even gives up his own home to them... Loved the slo-mo @2:20 of the ducks by the way, would love to see more of that.

[@ebbaolsson4675]

You: have snow Me in Sweden: raining for 2 days straight

[@sakelaine2953]

Morgan's very good at marketing. Nothing to up KZbin engagement like a situation that demands commentary!

[@Runawaywolf]

Kick them out! and the straw is just a bedding sign to the geese, got to change that or they will naturally think its a nest

[@miqsh70]

Tobi is my favorite dog on YT! ❤️

[@michaels3757]

Lol I would have dragged that damn goode out of there so fast - Toby is too nice lol

[@heartsfiregarden6352]

Poor Toby buddy. 😢 His face is so sad and tired. That goose is legit! I’m with y’all! Leave her be!! 😬 I love your rooster! He’s so handsome! And the ducks! They see you and are like “Peace out nest! You’re on your own now eggs!” 😁

[@charlottemajewski5992]

If ypu leave thst goose in there what is toby going to do for shelter. Plus a month from now it will stink of goose poop. Poor toby he is an vital part of the farm too.

[@wendyweaver8749]

Charlotte Majewski - Have you not watched the videos describing Toby's breed and how they have lived for centuries? Have you not seen the videos where Morgan extracts armfuls of fur as spring morphs into summer? Have you not watched all of the Toby videos since he came to Gold Shaw Farm? Toby has consistently rejected or rarely used the shelters Morgan has made or remodeled for him. He is out and about most of the night (see the night camera footage) guarding the farm and with the geese free 24/7, the night job is even more important. Toby is not a pet - Toby is a working dog who was bred to live outdoors all winter in the hills and mountains with the herds being protected. Toby has more creature comforts - even without counting his doghouse - than his working brethren in North America and Europe.

[@Lawnmower737]

@@wendyweaver8749 you’ve copied and pasted this comment everywhere. Regardless of the breed and temperament, dogs like humans, have a sense of territory and ownership of what they call theirs. Some dogs are very vocal and violent about it, others like Toby are very chill and relaxed. However as a farm dog who’s job is to protect the geese and birds it’s vital that the geese know that Toby is as he should be, at the top of the pecking order and need to learn that Toby’s space is off limits. It’s an unhealthy relationship between the two if the creatures Toby protects do not respect him and his boundaries, especially if this behavior continues they will assume that Toby is below them and might start pecking at him randomly to show dominance and try to fight him, which would be bad. While you’re right that Toby does not use many of the shelters, it is clear in this video Toby is not too happy about the goose stealing his space. Morgan needs to build more nesting areas and remove the geese from the areas like Toby’s hut so they learn that they should use the nesting areas.

[@patriciacarranza4550]

Awww you should relocate the nesting goose. The geese can learn boundaries. Toby is your 24/7 defender ❤️

[@604pinnacle]

Morgan, that goose has to go!! Toby needs his OWN HOUSE! And deserves his own place!!

[@deerslayer2424]

Hey this Curt I get my stuff from Tractor Supply in Madison Ga. they r remodeling and thanks to you they have removed that tall brooder and went back to the old way in a tub nd heat lamp. Much happier chicks now Thank you

[@NikohSimonds]

The goose has to go, it's kicking Barn cat and Tobi out of their place. You have to put your foot down on what you're going to allow and not allow.

[@savedbeliever]

Absolutely agree. The goose is now taking over,,,, bullying Toby from his rightful dog house made for him

[@adamtruong1759]

I think it's okay.

[@kjames5682]

Thank you for sharing all this good stuff!

[@shawon265]

1:54 Pablo and Toby running for their lives 😂

[@ruffr4bb1t]

Your videos always bring me so much joy even when it’s simply taking care of some geese

[@lazyj9511]

Toby started no dedicated house, and does way to good of a job to be out of a house already for a month. This is one of your moments where you're gonna need to do some of your "i goofed lets fix it learning" and do whats best for TobyDog. Goose needs to be relocated. Especially after teaching him he isn't allowed to assert himself over the geese. Tobydog will retire to your home as a pet, goose will retire as a meal on the table.

[@thecurseddinkleberg4086]

Toby is the gpodest boy in the world. He is a king.

[@ellietobe]

The guy has never had a pet and he sees Toby as an employee, not a pet. The dog spent a Vermont winter with a shed and some hay on the ground. The shed was filled with bird crap and rodents. This guy should be turned into the humane society.

[@stardewpop]

@@ellietobe toby is a working dog, ( check out @wendweaver 's reaction above.). Please inform yourself first before posting a comment like this.

[@MrCsquare23]

@@ellietobe you’re a straight hater lol. You clearly don’t know that Toby’s breed has been a guardian/protector breed for farms for centuries hence their coats and layers of fur. I think if Toby were to really want to go in there he could go in there and fuck that bird up but we know Toby is a gentle soul and can adapt to this situation like his breed has been doing for centuries! Let the man farm!

[@joyceduty1076]

No matter what YOU GOT TO BE YOU. That is what we tune in for. (But if you watch the video Toby looks sad, which breaks our virtual hearts)

[@25Soupy]

Go get the net and pull the goose out of Toby's house.

[@PTRMAN]

I feel bad for Toby. You built a nice dog house, but it also turns out to be a perfect goose nesting box. I hope a door would solve that problem; otherwise it'll become mama goose heaven from now on.

[@mbgal7758]

Poor tired and cold Toby. He’s just too sweet for this world.

[@TheBeanHome]

Agreed.. easiest people and animals to neglect

[@TheDealDepot]

Good morning! We are getting a farm dog in July and will probably make a dog house close to yours we love it!

[@Luke-mo3qo]

If you're going to let the goose get the damn dog house at least give Toby some extra rations it's the least compensate for the lack of shelter this way he can create enough body heat to keep warm and stay energized to the job properly

[@wendyweaver8749]

Luke - Have you not watched the videos describing Toby's breed and how they have lived for centuries? Have you not seen the videos where Morgan extracts armfuls of fur as spring morphs into summer? Toby can overheat inside even in a non-heated shelter. Toby has consistently rejected or rarely used the shelters Morgan has made or remodeled for him. He is out and about most of the night (see the night camera footage) guarding the farm and with the geese free 24/7, the night job is even more important.

[@Luke-mo3qo]

@@wendyweaver8749 I know what breed of dog it is and I'm quite aware of it being a special type of mountain dog but give me another dog extra rations now and then will come will improve the dog's mood as well as help him fight off any extra bits of by a cold is for a coat cannot handle quite aware of cold weather dog breeds I'm from Northern Michigan or huskies and all sorts of hunting and cattle dogs as well as farm dogs are raised I help raise them myself along with my family members are used to handling such type of dogs we always give them extra rations if they don't have a chance to get into a shelter this way they will not freeze to death

Thank u sir. Morgan.

Trying to get the goose in toby-dog's house is a wonderful little children's book story. You've got sooo much material.

[@bongeslob]

glad i found this channel something about it is so peaceful

[@judip3660]

The Geese need to get out of Poor Toby's dog house! He does so much and asks for so little!! NO GEESE ! Pablo and Toby need their homes back!!

[@victrola2007]

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOMMAS ON THE FARM!!!

[@gailwalker6872]

I definitely wouldn’t let the goose take over that spot. It has plenty of other places to nest. I would take a rake or shovel and gently drag her out. Just my idea though. I love how gentle Toby is with all the animals.

[@silversage03]

We had snow just this morning in Central Montana. Have to be prepared for anything. Thanks for sharing your farm life with us. I sure would like to get some ducks. LOVE the eggs!!
