I absolutely love the little "pat a pat a pat" of their little webbed feet when they run. I had no idea they would be so fast!

And yes, those are my wind chimes. Woodstock Chimes "Pachebel Canon Chime". I have them hanging outside my office window. It makes working from home very pleasant. Best wind chimes ever.

Google auto-awesomed my picture for me! This is earlier today. We're teaching the dogs to not freak out around the ducks, and the ducks to not be concerned about the dogs. I think it's working.

everybody's so relaxed.

She's definitely my favorite. Even though you're not supposed to have a favorite. I like her attitude. And yes, I hate it when they decide to fight. I haven't had TOO many problems with the birds yet, but my dogs... they love each other to bits, but they fight like little kids.

heehee, sometimes u can't help but have a fave. As to fighting I guess it's nature doing its thing and unlike humans I dont think there's any malice.

Yes, I was pretty pleased with everyone's behavior. They're excitable dogs, but they mind well. The ducklings were fine once the dogs calmed down.

How do they grow so fast???

Apparently my rosebush is yummy.

We had a great time outside today. They're getting used to the big ducks, and the big ducks are getting used to them.

Also, Pepper and Mocha discovered racing. SO HILARIOUS. They're chasing after each other ALL around the pen at top speed with their little webby feet going pat-a-pat-a-pat on the ground.

Also: Ducks have funny looking butts without tail feathers.
