RIP Fuzzy

Yes. Yet ANOTHER poor ducky taken down by turtles.. *sigh* This big guy wasn’t eaten by them, thankfully, so he’s now buried in our backyard pet cemetery. :(

 

<- he’s always had that adorable little tuff on his head.. :)

<- check out that terribly mangled foot.. GR TURTLES!

 

<- LOVE this picture…

<- We got him in 2007, and he was my oldest and biggest duck!

 

 

Rest in peace, Fuzzy!!!!!

RIP, my darling duckies!!

In honor of my darling ducks that have been eaten these past few months, I decided to do a series of posts dedicated to each of them.. Enjoy the cute pictures and be sure to have a box of tissues handy! ;)

RIP, Henry.
RIP, Skittles.

Poor Snuggles is the only 2008 duck left, now.. RIP my cute duckies!!

Hi!
I’ve had many hair raising experiences as I was growing up. When I was about 1 month old, I developed a serious sickness. Not knowing what was wrong, my owner fed me soaking wet bread, and gradually I was nursed back to health. then, a little less than a month later, I was attacked by a turtle. But my brave owner once again came to my rescue. With a large stick, she beat the turtle until it let go of me. Thankfully, I came away with no injuries.
Oh yeah! I’m a Khaki Campbell.
~Apple

RIP, Skittles

We’ll miss you, too, Skittles…

<- Named after the little neighbor’s cute duckling that got devoured by a snake

<- Possibly the worst-behaved of all of my ducks.. haha

<- Ashley’s favorite

<- she was my most greedy duck.. haha

 

  <- haha, she always looked like a dog when she scratched her ears.. :)

 

Rest in Peace, Skittles!

Hello!
I am a very passive duck. Whatever my siblings do, I am not far behind them. I hate being held, so whenever my mom picks me up, I squirm so much that she is forced to set me down. there was a time when I looked exactly like Snuggles, and I had to get this annoying thing put around my ankle. But I’m not quite so big as Snuggles now.

RIP, Henry!

We will miss you, Henry..

<- Anna couldn’t think of a name for her duckie… She finally decided to name it Henry.. then we realized it was a girl. :) The name stayed anyways.

<-such a cuddly little duck..

 

  <-ALWAYS eating something.. haha

<- the day before I set her free in the lake

  <- Becca’s favorite duck, too!

  <- I’m biased.. and loved Henry possibly more than any of the other duckies.. guess I’ll have to find a new favorite now.. :(

 

Rest In Peace, Henry!!

Hello!
My name is Henry. Contrary to my name, I am a girl duck! I LOVE grass, so when my brothers are busy playing in the water or eating corn, Apple and I are busy trying to catch bugs.
When I was younger, I was known for trying to prune my feathers, and falling over. Thankfully, I’ve outgrown that embarrassing habit.
My owner, Anna, is very sweet to me. When she first got me, she thought that I was going to be the biggest duck, but after I grew up and so did my siblings, she found out otherwise. I am now the smallest Pekin of my small duck family! One interesting face about me is that I LOVE dog food!
~Henry
