Dear Diary, chocolate, plates and ducklings

[samvara]

Craving chocolate bounced me and maharetr out of the house and into the car and we were half way down the street when a duckling ran across the road hotly pursued by a magpie. We hauled off and collected it, there was some sad, sad flailing around by us when the poor thing waddled away in a complete panic. The driveway we parked in belonged to a man who gave us a cardboard box and suggested the Murdoch animal centre would have good advice.

We went for the chocolate anyway (supplies!) and saw some great custom plates in the carpark - Naked1 being my favourite. Are they nudists? Is this about spiritual/emotional exposure?

It turns out a very nice man at the local pet store was happy to take the duckling home - he says it can grow up safely with his birds then take off and do whatever wild ducks do. maharetr took a photo on her mobile of its irate little duck head poking out of my hand. They also have a rottweiler puppy, OMG so cute.

*_* we used to have ducks (and other assorted livestock) when I was tiny. They're so cute, and you are awesome for rescuing it <3

We almost let nature take its course - but watching the maggie corner the poor little thing was more than we could bear!

Eeee, duckling! So cute!

It was adorable!

When I handed it to the petstore man he cradled it against his chest and it tried to climb up him... it was mind-meltingly cute.

Baby duck was very 'let me gooooooooooooooooo' - impressive for a 3 day old!
