It's too bad he's so far away from us in Minnesota. They would love to welcome him into our family. (They are currently swimming in their human's bathtub since it's 10 degrees BELOW zero here.)

It’s too bad he’s so far away from us in Minnesota. They would love to welcome him into our family.

He's sure to improve greatly with you and Flapjack looking after him. I'm crossing my fingers that he'll be able to walk again. I don't have to tell you how angry it makes me that he was treated -- or should I say, not treated -- in this way. As you know, we recently lost our beloved piggie Mariusz. We rushed him to the vet twice in the space of three days, and would have done anything to save him. This is not to say that we're model parents. But to see someone who had the chance to help their animal and not do anything, while we struggled and cried and still couldn't save ours ... words just fail me. Get some rest, sweetheart. Don't let Simon scare you -- he's just a big ol' softie. Aww, what a cutie. He’s sure to improve greatly with you and Flapjack looking after him.

I might be imagining things, but he looks so sad :( It's good to know he's in the best possible hands now, and gets to hang out with the famous Mr Flapper. Get better soon, little duckie.

Might I suggest the name Maynard to him? (as in Maynard G Krebs, who also had cool hair) If only he had a moustache to go with that crazy hair. Might I suggest the name Maynard to him?

He's beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I bet you never expected your house to look like Bill's did you? LOL!! I absolutely love the pack 'n play beds for use with ducks and geese. They are perfect. We use shredded paper in the bottom, recycling letters, bills and the like. When the birdies poo, it falls between the shreds and never gets on the birds, and it's super easy to grab with a gloved hand to toss out. They stay really warm on the paper too, it holds and radiates heat so well. I'm so glad to see Flapper with a friend to chat with. Do they speak the same language? That's a hard question to ask. Muscovys have a different sound than the quack of a Pekin. I guess I'm just wondering if you Green Jeans man there quacks. LOL!! Congrats on the new kid on the block!! honk Awww … you have a “Mr. Green Jeans” duck. He’s beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I bet you never expected your house to look like Bill’s did you? LOL!!
