    I have tried and busted 2 of those blue heated dog bowls.... do your geese not try to bathe in them? And... they actually work for you all winter? How cold does it get where you are?

    I decided to ignore. :idunno I made it clear that since the kids and I take care of them... spouse's opinion does not matter. Spouse's reason against was stupid... because the geese I had, SIX years back pooped on the front bridge/house entrance. I would think, as long as I kept the...
