Friday Flashback

March 2006
the day we Saved the Chicks!!!
(ok, technically ducklings, but you KNOW i love chicks)
I was loading my kids into the car & looked across the street.
Here is what I saw...

A limping mother duck with 14 little chicks marching down the sidewalk...
Immediately I began to worry about these little chicks & what could possibly happen to them on Heather Ave (cars, kids... dogs!)
I called Karen & we decided it was time for action!
She grabbed her dog kennel & after 3 (short) hours and a loaf of bread, we caught the mama duck. Her babies quickly followed.

Safe at last!!!

We loaded the duck family into Karen's truck & drove them over to Freestone Park, where she set them free.

Happy Day.
Happy Chicks!
