Meet Ming Ming...
This cute little duck waddled his way to our house and under our rosebush.
All of the commotion caused him to get scared and he fell into the drainage hole for our raingutters.
Josh came to the rescue and managed to pull him out.
And the poor guy went running. He was FAST! But it was so cute to see his little waddle!
The kids of course begged and pleaded to keep him. Just what we need....a duck. I think not.
But he was cute.
His charm worked for an instant and I had thoughts of having a little pond in the backyard and Ming Ming hanging out but seriously? No duck. So we put him in a cardboard box and took a family walk to the canal that is not too far from our house.
There was tears and last minute pleading but in the end, Ming Ming ended up right where he belonged....swimming happily in the canal with th rest of his duck friends.

Aw, I want a duck for a pet! This same thing happened to us our first summer here! There will be more Ming-mings in the future!
You are a nice mom for even CONSIDERING it. I won't even let my kids have a fish. I figure I clean up too much poop as it is, and I don't need to clean up anymore! ;)
so so so cute (for now)
Paul had a duck pet...named him "green head"...guess what color his head was??
His mom also had 10 kids. Whats a duck with ten kids? :)
