... and MANY more ducks!
Remember this little guy? The one in the middle?
If you recall, his name is number 4. He was found in a dirty road next to a muddy water puddle, upside down and left for "dead"... lol... For 4 days I kept passing this little rascal, bottoms up, and driving right on by worrying about him. Finally, when Steve and I were coming back from the store, I had him stop so I could pick him up. He had identification on him - the number 4; and so that became his name.
Number 4 sat on my sink in the kitchen and pR would play with him. One day she came in bearing friends for him - he finally had friends to hang out with while I washed dishes, which made punkin' very happy.
Do you remember the garage sale punkin had to raise money for a no kill animal shelter? In the garage sale she had stuffed a bag full of all her little duckies from when she was little bagged to all sell for a buck. No one bought it and guess where they ended up?
Now number 4 has an entire family!
In case you don't recognize him, he is the third one from the left - actually in number 3's spot because she missed number 2 when she counted. On the bottom of each one, she has numbered them and a few have nicknames. So now we have 11 ducks - all numbered from 1-12; minus number 2. NO! Lol... we don't need a number 2, but it did annoy her last night that there was no number 2.
As she was getting them all dried off (they went for a swim in her bath water) she told me that even though there were so many, I had to get them all together every day so he could be with his family.
*sigh*
Now you can see me doing that, right? Gathering 11 little duckies from all over the camper so they could have a pow wow. Haha, no pR, it is very unlikely that I will get them together every day for a duckie chat - which led us to having to find a place of honor in the camper so he could be with his family all of the time instead of just when she came over. I am such a sap. Yes, I fell for it.
So I guess now I collect ducks. And to think it all started because of number 4.
I am a quack.
Don't say it Steve. You KNOW you love me!
