Water fowl are so cool. I have many wooden, ceramic, all kinds of water fowl in my home but not the live kind as i have cats and I'm in a condo so I know the Board would not put up with that (I'm on the condo Board.). I continue to love the stories of Flapper's menagerie and the rescues.

His face just has the more female contours. Perhaps that's why he has to be aggressive, ha ha, to make sure we all understand that he's a macho macho duck.

LOL So glad that all are doing so well. We all love the updates. Hopefully we will be warming up a bit around here (Puget Sound) for all water fowl inside and outside.

I tend to let this blog go awhile then indulge in day of catching up, usually when I am not as able to get around as much as I usually do. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. You remind me of my sister. Your love of all critters and the way you speak their dialogue for them. It makes me feel like I visiting family when I read your blog. My sister has had all sorts of critters, everything from goats to chickens and even a pig who used a litter box. It's one of the things I adore about her. When I watch the your videos, my dog Sarah Bernhardt gets very excited and tries to figure out where the hell those ducks are. She is a Brittany and a total bird dog. She is one of the reasons I don't have a duck. She has spent lots of time trying to swim after the ducks in the bay when I take her to Fiesta Island here in San Diego. It's her favorite place in the world. The best part is the ducks lead her way out in the middle of the bay then fly off leaving her way out in the middle of the bay. She swims back in then 15 minutes later she does it again. Sometimes the ducks just lead her around in circles. I was sorry to learn about Chewy. It made me cry to read about his passing. I do think you were lucky to have him in your life even if his time with you was too brief. I am going to miss reading about him. I am sure that he is eating all the peas he will ever want up in heaven. He is probably God's wing duck by now. Thanks for taking care of all those critters and sharing your life with us. Tell Flapper I am pulling for him and he is my number one duck ever. Kimberly Hi

So Reggie and Benson are becoming real men, I hope they can keep their hormones in control for a little while longer. I'm happy to hear so many have contributed in their vet bills, I'm sorry I didn't, money is still very tight at the moment and I'm still 'suffering' from the costs of Eddy's vet bills and cremation.
