As some of you may know me and Brandon were proud owners of two little ducklings, but as you will see it did not last long! This is the story: It was the night before mothers day and no child was screaming not even a mouse in the Wilson house.... Me and Brandon were over at my cousin Julie's house and she needed to go get something from Cal ranch so just the girls went and the boys stayed. As we were walking through Cal ranch i spotted these cute little ducklings & thought it would be funny to buy one to see what Brandon would say, so I picked out the runt of the group & thought i was done, then the guy at Cal ranch told me it is better to buy two cause they do better that way, so I just had to get one more. I sent Brandon a text message before we left asking if he got me anything for mother's day and he replied "No cause you are not a mother" Well I showed him...We loaded them up & drove home, I wish I could have had a picture of Brandon' s face when i walked in with two baby ducks! It was pretty funny! He was kind of mad so i told him he could at least name them & I will completely take care of them. He named the runt Peabody & the other one Cletus. A couple weeks went by & we returned from our weekend in Island Park & the ducks had grown enough to be able to get out of the little swimming pool that they were living in our garage, thats when we decided that the ducks had to go before our garage started to smell like a pond. A couple of days later we loaded them up & dropped them off at a pond! I have been back to the pond to check on them since dropping them off & they are still alive & doing well! Let me just state the obvious.... ducks do much better & are much happier at a pond rather than a garage, and so are me & Brandon!

That is the funniest story ever! Has Brandon ever told you about the time our parents got the wise idea to raise 100 chickens? Yeah, we lived in the CITY!

Glad your duckies are doing well, though!
