Herding Ducks and Saving Pets

Hey, remember me?  I'm Merci, the short woofy.  I kinda get overlooked when the big guys are around.  But it's my turn to post today. 

* 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.
