Bear's New Ducks

Danielle took Bear to Tractor Supply today and they came home with two baby ducks. Bear is really good with them and they have irreversibly bonded to him. He walks all over the yard and they follow around him like -well, like baby ducks.

Bear has named them Quacky-Quack and Ducky-Duck. His naming tendencies are strongly influenced by species.

When Willow firs saw them she was all taken aback and just pointed at them and looked back and forth wide-eyed between me and them and made her any-animal sound, "ffff-ffff!" (which originated with the 'arf' of a dog).

She remains skeptical and pats their heads gently. Occasionally she'll pick one up by its head before we can get to her.

Those are some yellow ducks. I wish they were blue ducks. I've never seen a blue duck before.

Can I have your kids? ...well, you never know until you ask, right?

When I first heard about the ducks, I thought, "oh no, here they go again." But after seeing those pictures, it's one of the most PRECIOUS things I've ever seen. And the look on Bear's face...says it all. Viva la pets!!!
