    Sick duckling

    no, he wasn't spraddled legged. But i guess it doesn't matter, cuz Seaver, the listless one, is gone, and Lucky, the one who had the bellybutton, is going. He keeps shaking and convulsing. He can't move at all. Thanks anyway.

He will charge right up and start biting my feet. It...
