I'm Gonna Kill Me a Duck!!!

We have a duck. We used to have 2 ducks. Recently, we had to put one to sleep because she had a horrible wound with a massive infection complete with maggots. It was very sad and very gross. Her name was Scuba Duck and we miss her. Spitzlander is her sister and she misses Scuba a lot. Today she must miss her immensely. I know this because she will not shut up!!!

Early this morning she was putting up a racket in her house. But that's ok because when she is in there no one can hear her except me. Since I let her out this morning and she has been quacking. And quacking. AND QUACKING!

I left the house for a while and enjoyed the sounds of everything that is not quacking. But when I returned, she was still quacking. I tried to practice Korean, but every time I spoke she would quack. I took a nap. Sort of. It was punctuated by her quacks. They are not gentle. They are not soothing. They sound like this -



Wasn't that pleasant? Har!!!

I am the one who purchased the ducks. I did not choose to have ducks, but I did buy them. Since day one they thought I was their mom. They would come to my bedroom window to be closer to me. When I would go outside they would follow me around. If I decided to work in the garden they had to come and "help". Any place I would choose to sit, they would be right there. They would even snuggle with me-

Isn't that cute?

Here, this is when they were really cute   Awww....



Well, now I just have a big, sad duck. And it really sucks.

PS Since Spitzlander can't fly but Eunhyuk can, here is a picture of him flying and being happy and NOT QUACKING! -
