Either tonight or tomorrow some relatives are coming up to visit for a few days. This entourage will include two 8-year old cousins and 2 small dogs. We haven't told them that I have ducklings yet as it is a "surprise". My cousins will be absolutely thrilled. Me? Not so much. I love my family, and I even love the dogs, but I am absolutely TERRIFIED for my babies.
The door to the room that they are kept in will be closed 24/7 while they are here, but the door doesn't always latch securely. It's not a big deal at all-you just give it a little tug-but my cousins won't remember to. I'm going to make a rule that no one goes in without me, but I'm fairly certain that that the cousins are going to try to sneak in anyways at least once. I don't mind much because I don't think they would try to take them out of the pen (But what if they do?! The duckling will run from them and the cousins would chase them and be all rough....
) mainly I'm worried that the door won't latch and a dog will get in
I know I'm overreacting but I'm just so worried about my ducklings!!
