I take it you are moving home then? I hope it is an unusually stree-free event for you and your family!

My condolences, Veiled. I find it ironic that a goose with two tongues turns out to be nice and un-goose-like. I am not a huge fan of geese, having been regularly chased by a gang of them as a kid. However, I have also had the pleasure in knowing a friendly one - at least, it was friendly to me! It sounds like you gave Snake a good life. If he or she had been hatched somewhere else, that may never have been possible. Feel good about that!
