Looks like my Pickles when she was little... Now she's loud and chases me everywhere!

No, but the worst part of our back fence is getting replaced this week. It’d be a good spot for them, maybe.
The only thing stopping me is that I don’t know what to do for a run.

Craigslist dog kennel for cheap. We got a couple for $100 each. Then I found out how easy t-posts and 100' of fencing were to put up for $100. And the fencing is bigger. I used the dog kennel gates in the fence.

Ah, yes. Street food. A success that leads to quail. What a journey. Has it really been 2 years?

You can get dog kennels for $100!?

Street Hatched in July 2018.
Close enough to two years.

Here's one...for twice the price.

Sometimes people give them away.

So, knowing that I'm very late to the party, and wondering if I want to read the WHOLE novel, but very curious as to where the ducks are now? Did you keep them?

If you are 1) patient, 2) quick when they post and 3) willing to drive an hour one way, then yes, $100 kennels are out there. Houston is large and I live on the opposite side of town from the rich folks who give stuff away.

Anything is possible.

Should I tell her guys or make her read?







I did not keep them.

Not sure I would either. Ducks are a whole different level of complication to me.
