Happy 4th Everyone!!
it’s a holiday i kind of dread ( fireworks ) I wish people would take their money and buy a few bags of dog food for a shelter instead of spending it on things that make loud noise. but let’s hope the neighbors heard me screaming at them to stop last time ( memorial day) and perhaps they will be quiet now. July 5 is officially fairy egg day. 😱😭
 
there's a shooting range up the road here so we are used to hearing guns., and fireworks are ok if they are far enough away. They are also illegal here but ppl dont care anyway.
They are legal here finally. They have sold them for decades but expected people to go out of state to let them off. Now they can let them off for days before and days after. I don't mind the noise having grown up around it and my dog and ducks seem to do well too so I am blessed.
 
Some duck therapy today -- the 8 young ones are super skittish and run around like a headless chickens when we come in to pack them up for the night.

So we grab one, flip it around so it's a bit confused, then gently caress the belly, the neck... they calm down a bit. Or maybe they are just frozen with fear? I don't think so, they seem relaxed and make baby coo sounds.

The one on the photo seems a bit weirded out :) but in general it did seem to have a calming effect. Will do that for a week and see what happens.
