A dog alone with a mount at nose level was not a good combination for me either. Dad did my first Canada goose in a feeding position. A mount like that looks right when on the floor. One day, I came home to a sheepish dog and goose feathers and down everywhere. The body was string wrapped excelsior (wood fibers) in the days before plastic forms. I was left with a web footed "straw" goose. I think Kay was secretly pleased to not have that goose gracing the living room floor any longer.
Cheers,
Jack
