Duck is fine, thanks!
Still caged nights in the house, but days outside supervised with her flock.

Interestingly, they gave her options of care levels. Eg. a local vs anesthesia.
It was a done deal at $2K + $650 for the first bandaid.
I’m considering hiring a Pinkerton Guard for this duck.

My daughter loves her flock of ducks, but she'd eat the first one that would cost $2000 at the vet!

Actually she did eat a couple last year for lesser reasons than that...

I believe that's called the circle of life. I think there was a musical number and everything.

Our friends are Romanian, with an old world garden, roadside chicken egg sales, etc.
They…had…ducks.
I can’t imagine their private conversation.

I can’t imagine their private conversation.

I can:

„Cred că Fluffy tocmai a strănutat pe Daisy.” „Repede, mănâncă-i!”

Don’t sneeze on me!

 

[David Mary]

If I sneeze, duck!

I was going to post something clever in Romanian, but it came out as..
“About installments I’m whirling in the English.”
Siri is no help, she blocked me long ago.

I love them! Mosquito killers! My wife teases me because they come around all the time when I am doing chores at the house or cabin, and sometimes they land on meView attachment 2627063

New feral that’s been coming around. Very skittish so far, but hopefully that will change with time. We call him Buster.

He's pretty skinny, but if he keeps coming around we'll fatten him up

yeah meant more bone size and head size......

There is that one dog that you will never forget. The one that will make you cry no matter how long it has been gone.

This is Sadie. I lost her last year to a brain tumor. She was only eight. I found her at a shelter after she had just recovered from being slammed against a wall by her former owner. That cost her a leg. The vet called the police, and the prick was prosecuted. This happened when she was only four months old. It was love at first sight for both of us.

She was the most obedient and best behaved dog I’ve ever had. Truly the sweetest creature to grace the earth with her paw print. I still cannot bring myself to replace her

 

[David Mary]

D DRM thank you for sharing her with us here. I'm blessed now to know of her, and sad with you that she's gone. Sounds like you have lots of love to give and I hope you won't deny it to another worthy mutt for too long.

I'm sorry for your loss. We lost our Sadie just last month. She was also a rescue, but with not quite as bad a story. Be happy in the knowledge you found each other.
