* Yes, Buddy, I know it's not marked on the calendar, but you guys do not get 3 turns to each one of mine, like Sam claims.*
I have a fun video of neglected ducks having fun in water for the first time. Have you ever see humans try to herd frightened, stampeding ducks? We think the humans need more practice, but all was well in the end.
If the video doesn't play, click here.
We read this short article today and want to be sure to mention it. Some humans are abusive to other humans, as well as to furries, and threaten the abused person's pet(s) to keep them from leaving. There are some areas that have set up a program to foster pets while the abused human stays at a shelter and works on plans for the future. We hope you will read Safety for Abuse Victims and Their Pets. You never know when someone you know - even a fellow blogger - might need this information. And it could save lives - of a human and pet(s).
Paws for Courage is a good resource for information. You might even want to volunteer in some capacity.
Whoever that coined the phrase "as a duck takes to water" never met these ducks...well, at the initial stage anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Merci!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, I'm Pippa!
what sort of dog are you, you look very unique and pretty!
Nice duckie video!

What a great article. I had baby ducks several times during my life, and love them so much. People who abuse animals rate a special circle of hell, in my opinion.

ReplyDeleteherding ducks - where is a good dog when you need one? :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a program like that here for people to get help for their animals in abusive situations....we hope more areas will try something like this
We're so very glad our shelter has agreed to care for pets temporarily in abusive situations. And we're so honored to know the woman who came from our shelter and went to Kansas City's Rose Brooks Center - a shelter for battered women that just recently opened a wing where people in abusive situations can bring their pets along with them!
ReplyDeleteWe sure hope other cities begin to do the same....
Your link to the article is wonderful, and thanks for telling us about Paws for courage!
