Family Duck Makes A Splash

pet duck

When you live on a farm, you fre­quently become the go-to source for those with pets that have “out­grown” their space. We recently acquired a new pet duck, Quackie, who sur­pris­ingly behaves much like a fam­ily dog. We have a num­ber of wild ducks on our lake, but never one that was domes­ti­cated like Quackie. He’s really a lot of fun, swim­ming in the lake with the kids (he likes to dive and swim between their legs) and gen­er­ally fol­low­ing you wher­ever you go (fully expect­ing to be allowed in the house).

Ducks = the new fam­ily dog?

  • Aw, we duck-sat for a couple weeks recently. Ben, the duck we were watching, sounds very much like your duck--very socialized! It was a lot of fun keeping him (except for all the poop!)
  • Morgan - your stuff is awesome! Let me know if you need anything!
  • Aww, Quackie! It was great talking to you at the pool today! Love your stuff on etsy. Thanks for all the great advice.

  • Like the book 'PING"! I am in LOVE with this duck. I cannot handle how great he is. He's at my front door right now quacking at me to let him in!
  • My husband's family had a duck when he was little. "Ping" lived in the back yard with the family dog. This was in LA, not the country! After Ping came on the scene, the dog decided he liked lettuce, so as to compete with Ping for his food! lol
