Some may ask... "Why a duck?"
Well, Carlos found us. Andy was standing in his parents driveway one night and all of a sudden this baby duck wandered up to him and sat down at his feet. We looked all around for his family... but, couldn't find them anywhere. Grandpa Gubler... a neighbor/family friend/vet checked the duck out and said he looked fine. He recommended we wait until morning to take him to the pond... and mentioned he probably wouldn't make it without the rest of his family.
So we brought Carlos home and made him a make shift bed. The kids fell in LOVE with him..... ;) So after a lot of thought... we decided to keep him.
More pictures to come....
Carlos has been the best pet we have had yet. He is super low maintenance. He loves the kids. He follows them around were ever they go and sits at their feet. He will let Sadie and sometimes Easton hold him and he eats all the bugs out of our backyard.
The only tricky part is that after we named him..... he grew into a HER! Yes, we now have Carlos, the hen Mallard. We have tried to change her name to Carlita... sometimes it sticks... but regardless, we love her!
