summer_jackelI have a new duck! I was driving to the store to get some flea stuff and food for the dogs, and noticed this pretty black runner duck waddling confusedly beside a busy road. There were no other ducks around and no houses nearby that suggested a likely origin. I'm hoping that someone didn't drop her off by the laguna. :( Being a domestic duck, she wasn't that hard to catch. And very clearly a she, given the stridency and volume of her *QUACK*.
Getting her home was kinda interesting, since I had Jezibel with me. "Jez, leave that duck ALONE!" *Jez glances sideways at me, wags, looks at the duck, drools*...
As you can see from the following pics, she has attractive, kinda irridescent greenly black feathers. I am trying to come up with a good name. 'October' and 'Samhain' came immediately to mind, given the month, as did 'Spooky'. But honestly, 'Daffy' would also fit. Her personality is kinda loud, spazzy and goofy but, well, she's a runnerduck. They are inherantly absurd.
What do you guys think? October, Samhain, Spooky or Daffy, or something else entirely? (Having just seen Serenity, 'River' also comes to mind, but I dunno).
Here she is with Napoleon:
This is my favorite chicken. One of my favorite chickens ever, she is this amazingly soft bird and very sweet and tame. She is, I think, half aricauna and half one of those breeds with fluffy feet.
And of course dogs. Jezibel:
