They really are adorable:

Naptime!

My daughter's favorite: meet Boris.

First swim. We learned that they need to be introduced to water quickly or they will be afraid of it later.

They were unsure at first, but eventually began to enjoy it--jumping in and out, and just standing and squatting in it!

They're cute.

Anybody want a duckling? :wink:

SO SO cute!!!! I would love one but our little yard wouldn't suit it too well.

When my family lived in the country we had ducks that had never been exposed to water. They wandered around the yard and didn't mind that we didn't have a pond for them. Our orange tabby cat took up with them and vice versa and we would see them wandering around together. It was not uncommon to see the ducks bedding down for a nap, with Milo cuddled in the middle of them. I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that cat quack. :-)

How sweet! I wish you had taken a picture :D

Our cats are afraid of our chickens. It's a funny thing to see the cats running from them!

I would love to have a couple for the pond, but I'm afraid that the fox that has been roaming our yard at night would have some duck delight. :)
