Unfortunately no. My bloodhound isn't feeling well today so I had to step away from the quackers to keep an eye on her. Looks like she is going to nap for a bit. That means I can go keep an eye on the babies.

Aww did he eat something he shouldn’t have. Usually the reason here.

That is a real worry here. I took a chunk of a rubber dog toy away from the other dog a couple days ago....that toy was missing another chunk and I never found it.

It’s amazing what dogs will eat

She seems better but not 100% herself yet. Her breakfast is staying down so that is good.

I was a bit surprised, but should not have been, that the ducklings played all the water out of the 1 quart baby dish within 2 hours. Yes I had a towel over the drip tray to cushion the tiny webs....yes I had to change that towel.
Upgrading them very soon to the milk jug water dish.

I made on of these so I wouldn’t have to worry about a duckling getting into the milk jug

I have already seen the merry go round as described in post 6 of the thread you linked.
Pretty sure that is how they emptied the tiny water dish all over.

Silly babies!
