The Dan and The Duck(s)

My place is not a good place for a duck.

The Dan's first duck capture - well, that beloved duck survived for about a month.  Now - unstuffed, it's neck broken, the feathers on it's back long gone, it's beak shattered, and left without the ability to quack - it's just a shell of it's former self, although the Dan still takes this duck to bed with him each night.

The Dan loves the duck (and yes, she has an odd way of showing it).

So today, while on an errand to PetSmart (to buy supplies for the lab fish:  CatDaddy, Joy and Rico - you see, it seems that Joy has a swim bladder problem), I couldn't resist getting The Dan a new duck.  So Dan is back on the yoga mat, with the new duck - being a happy crazy-dog.  She's even meditating from time-to-time in a duck-induced zen-like state.

We'll see how the new duck makes out.  I'll give it's quacker until Sunday, Monday tops.  The back feathers might make it through next week.

The duck makes the Dan very happy (although it doesn't help that search-for-silence thing in Pamdanistan...what was I thinking?).

Slightly off-topic, why doesn't ANYONE make stuffed dog toys that do not have quackers or some other noisemaker inside? The few that I've found over the years have been "loved" to death gradually, while the noisy ones last just a week or two. (Generally, it takes Coco just a few days to destroy the squeaker. Destuffing eventually follows.)

The Dan is so adorable.

I know that my dog, Tucker, gets much pleasure from being able to make the squeaker in the stuffed animal actually squeak. It is funny and he loves to make us laugh. My sister's dog sucks on a blanket. Actually sucks on a blanket. I never saw a dog do that before! Ya gotta love the look on a blissful dog's face with his 'stuffie' in his mouth.
