She had a live duck in her mouth once and I made her drop it. Then I had an injured duck hopping around the backyard, apparently unable to fly. I spent hours trying to contact some wild life rescue people but couldn't find one who did ducks. One did small mammals, one did birds, but not water fowl. I finally got the name of one who handled ducks and his line was busy for an hour. My neighbors finally took a huge fishing net and swooped it up and put it over the fence by the creek. It hobbled to the water and swam away. It looked fine swimming.
It was so gross, I swear. And I don't know what I'm going to do when we have a thaw and I have to move that welcome mat. Feathers.. so many feathers, frozen to the deck.. ACK!
This duck, this time, had to already be dead or very injured for my blind, arthritic dog to get ahold of it. They usually scatter as soon as she's let outside. Damn duck.
