Quackie, the duck!

On Saturday, Chad decided we needed a duck in our house. We had to go into town to grab a few things and decided to stop by Cal-Ranch to let Kiley look at the chicks and ducks. I was told we were only going to look at the ducks and that Chad had no intention of buying any. Well, this is not what happened. After telling the workers that we didn't need any help and Kiley was just looking, Chad all of the sudden told them that we needed a duck. So, we left the store with a duck. I won't lie, I was kind of excited. I've been a little jealous of some of our neighbors who have little chicks at their house. Chad has been really jealous of those neighbors as well as his brother Preston who just built a chicken coup in his backyard and bought some little chicks. So now we have a duck.

The duck has really taken a liking to Daisy. Daisy wasn't so sure of it at first, but has spent the last 3 days cuddling with it and cleaning up its poop. (Lucky for us, we don't have to worry about it when its not in it's box.) The duck will follow Daisy all over the kitchen and snuggle in to Daisy and climb all over Daisy. For those of you who are wondering if Daisy is going to eat it...No. She is doing a great job at protecting it. We've left the two of them alone for quite a few hours and Daisy hasn't tried to attack the duck. The funny thing is that when Daisy's not around, the duck goes crazy looking for Daisy. And the duck is the calmest when it is cuddled up to Daisy. Who knew ducks and dogs would be such good friends.

Kiley loves to pet the duck and look at it while we are holding it or it's in its box. She, however, is not a fan of it if it is running around on its own. I hope you all enjoy this video. I promise, we don't try to scare her all the time, we just wanted to get it on video. I usually put the duck away when Kiley is awake and in the kitchen.
