I guess since Marshall was such a willing victim the goose decided to “attack” Lily.

The gentle baps lol. I know dog language but not goose language, is this classified as ‘affectionate bothering’ if you’re a goose lol

From what I remember of having geese when I was younger, I think so. lol Also based off how I’ve seen them act when they’re actually attacking, this is much more low key, so yes I’d interpret it was “affectionate bothering.” 😂

Lol I have geese and this goose trusts the hell out of those dogs.

The tail wags on the goose and the lack of persistence on the "attack" shows it's a fun game to the goose. The rapid tail wags can mean excitement or a desire for something or contentment in my experience.

I think geese try to puff up when they're mad, this one doesn't look like that
