Our New Pet Duck

Sarah has been praying to God for a new pet ever since we moved and had to give Jake away. She doesn't understand why we can't have a inside pet at this house and why we can't just bring Molly home like we use to. So she has been praying to God for a pet of her own that she can take care of and she would keep it outside. We have even thought of getting her a outside cat or even a hermit crab or turtle, so she can take care of something.

So when this duck appeared in our pond last week we all thanked God for answering our prayers. He or She is the perfect outside pet. Sarah and Brian feed it everyday and if we forget it can find food on it's own. We have all named it different things. Sarah names it something different every day, but mostly it's just her pet duck. Brian calls it Big Boy Duck, Jeff calls it Marybeth, and I like to call it Daffy Duck. Sarah started riding the school bus yesterday and the duck stood right beside me and waited for her, and then followed us all the way to the house. I hope our new pet duck stays around for a while, because as you can see in the pictures the kids just love it!

Sarah and Brian love their new pet duck

Brian thinks it tickles when the duck eats out of his hand

The duck is so friendly it will eat right out of your hand

Colin and Evan had to come see our new duck.
They had a great time feeding the duck too
