so, we got ducks! (well, ducklings) and they are adorable. We went for a walk with them and they followed right behind us! (yes, I know that's what ducks do, but I think it means they love me) :) And yes, I know they might die. And I know snapping turtles might eat their feet, and coyotes might eat them, and Tank and Dozer might snack on them too, J may eat their eggs if there are any, heck, he may eat them...but until that fateful day I am going to love them and adore them and protect them to the best of my ability....because they are adorable! Come on people, where's the optimism?? M loves them as well, and walks up to their box in the morning and hold out her hand to them and says..."hush. ducks." and turns and grins at me, because she loves them so much! She also says "kiss" and waits for me to pick one up for her to kiss. It's fun...and only a little messy.
This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...
