[Mimi13]

Why?

Ralphie’s jealous he does NOT have these fun loving ducks!

ETA: I had to add the word NOT!

So let me tell y’all what happened this morning when I let the ducks out! Of course they went straight for the water. Peaches immediately jumped up on Petey, which is normal. When Peaches did her thrust and grunt and fell to the side, Ralphie thought he’d better jump in on the action and he did. But, what he didn’t know was Peaches was right behind them.

Now, y’all know I’m a worrier. I stood there to see if what I was wondering/worrying about would actually happen. Before Ralphie Dux could even fall to the side, Peaches had already grabbed hold of the corkscrew worm. I felt so sorry for him. Even though I saw no blood, I know it HAD to hurt. He immediately jumped out of the pool and began shaking his tail feathers. (I guess that aids in retraction.) He had a bit of trouble.

My ducks would kill for your yard (and it would be stripped bare in a matter of days, no matter what you've got going on!).

Its lovely - its also inspired me to do more with mine (somehow, in a way they cannot destroy....)

Same here! My ducks would kill for your pond!
