Meet Gladys

This is Gladys. Our electric watchgoose. She's been part of the family since around 1985. When she's not electrifying our house guests with her singing (she doesn't really sing, but we let her think that she does), she's keeping a watchful eye on the house. She's also a fabulous night light (operating on an energy efficient CF bulb of course).

Here she can be seen on her perch between the living and dining rooms with her vintage Shure 55SH microphone. Some of you may notice that the microphone has no connector or cable but such is our reality. We can always say, with a straight face, that it's a wireless microphone.

After dark, to the delight or bewilderment of passersby, Gladys can easily be seen from the sidewalk in front of the house. Ever the conversation starter. "What's with the goose?"
