A Tribute to our gone but never forgotten Ducks..

[oldhenlikesdogs]

So sorry Shannon. I know how much your ducks mean to you. Losing your queen of the flock is a hard thing. She was such a pretty girl too.

I just lost my Sunny recently. Just an awful feeling. She was young, just over 7 months but was so full of life and just had tons of personality. She was my first duck and I still feel miserable. I really miss her and her butt wags. The side eye was hilarious. I can only hope she knew how much I loved her. I would give anything to hear her quacking at me, I really would. She stole my heart from day 1.

Mr. & Mrs. Duck - These 2 sweet ducks loved each other dearly. They belonged to a neglectful neighbor whom eventually let their dog take their defenseless lives. Broke my heart as I tried to save them..so sad. I had asked if I could have them since they visited me daily for treats and a swim. I dug them a pond in my driveway. Mr. would quack to let me know they were here. These 2 were buried side by side under Lily and Loos habitat. And the beginning of my duck obsession. I wanted 2 Cayugas but got impatient and brought home Lily and Loo. I love them they are such fun garden helpers

I'm sorry about Mr & Mrs. Duck, it'a always sad when a neglectful owner lets something like that happen. They were very beautiful ducks, sorry for your losses.

So sorry to hear about your sweet little duck. I'll do a tribute to my ducks that are no longer with us as well(if that's okay).

Vanilla Creamy (named by my 6 year old sister)
October 21st 2017 - May 22nd 2018
Vanilla Creamy lived a painfully short life, but in her life she was very loved by our entire family. She was a quiet, gentle duck, who I still miss very much. She died from egg binding, whilst trying to lay her very first egg.
Story:
One night I was on my bed (probably browsing BYC) when I heard Vanilla Creamy going crazy from outside my window. I looked out the window to see a that a hawk had pinned down Vanilla Creamy's best friend, Fluffy. I raced outside and threw a stone at the hawk, which caused it to fly away. But it had already done it's damage. Fluffy was gurgling, blood coming from her mouth, two deep puncture wounds in her back. There are no avian vets where I live, so there was nothing that I could do for Fluffy. I stopped the bleeding and applied an antiseptic cream to her wounds. I put her in box, but fluffy called and called. Vanilla Creamy had followed me inside, so I put her in the box with Fluffy, Fluffies calling instantly stopped. I would know by morning wether Fluffy would live or die. In the morning, I was overjoyed to see that Fluffy was still alive, but she had suffered from a (suspected) lung puncture. Little by little she recovered.
Fluffy now has two beautiful ducklings.

Rest in peace Vanilla Creamy, you will be forever missed, my sweet little feathered angel.

(I have more pictures of her, but like this one the best)

Ducko
November 2017-August 2018
Ducko, believe it or not, was on TV! He featured in the show, Fanimals- Animal Olympics, and he did great! Ducko wasn't the tamest duck, but he was very sweet, he enjoyed going to the beach, and going for walks. He had to be euthanized due to an irreparable dislocation of his lower jaw, which rendered him unable to eat, and in so much pain.
Rest in peace Ducko, you will be missed.

Ducko won his silver medal.

Rest in peace my feathered friends, you will never be forgotten.

What sad stories..They definitely steal their way into our Hearts. They were pretty Ducks.

Thanks...I do love my Ducks. Penelope was my favourite Little Duck. She was always making me smile and laugh.

That is so sad..I feel your pain. I'd also love to see Penelope slowly waddle along as she bossed the other Ducks around..
