Oh Tiffany,
Right now, I am crying, and its hard to write. Flapper has been such a great part of our lives, it’s hard to imagine that he won’t be there anymore. I know the love you felt for him, and the bright spot he was in your life, as he was in mine. god bless Flapper, and you Tiffany for sharing with all of us onlookers!

You bought a house and then right away went out and got a duck! Wow, is that a familiar story! Little pocket sized rodents, house rabbits, and cage birds came first, in apartments. Chickens came along later, almost by accident. But when you finally own a house, you can finally get a duck! I understand completely, and I did exactly the same thing, back in 1984. I have not been duckless since then!

We’ve all learned a lot from Flapper, and you, and I’ll miss him.

He was a wonderful fellow. I loved hearing his stories and watching him go about his life as he grew. He certainly had a full happy life there is no denying…and a perfect mother! I’m happy you shared him with us –

Sorry to hear of your loss. He sure was a cutie. I’m not a duck person exactly; a friend of mine is and she forwarded this story to me, but I do know how important pets are in our lives.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing Flapper and his buddies with us. I always wanted a pet duck but knew having one would be too overwhelming living in the city with two house rabbits. Following your blog was the next best thing. You gave him a wonderful life. Rest in peace Mr. Flapper.

I had never heard the story of how you got “started in ducks” – thanks for sharing. I’ve been dreading the day I’d visit your blog and read this news.

Because of Flapper I’m much more aware of duck issues. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten duck before, but you can bet your tailfeathers I NEVER WILL! I have also started to boycott restaurants that serve foie gras (spelling?) because of Flapper’s work.

As a girl who still cries over her St. Bernard that passed 14 months ago, I wish I had some comforting words of wisdom to help ease your pain, but I don’t. My heart aches for your loss. I’m so sorry.

Your friend forever,

Please know that my heart is with you as you deal with the loss of little Flapper. I am so grateful that I found Mr. Flapper’s website a few years ago. He brought me so much happiness all the way in Michigan! Rest in peace little buddy. You are loved by so many!
