Victoria, Ellie and I were outside feeding the bunnies, when Victoria noticed Spike coming up the neighbor’s paddock. As Spike came closer, you could see he had caught something and was bringing a new friend/playmate home. Victoria started chasing Spike when he came to our side of the fence and Spike dropped his friend, which turned out to be a very young duckling from the neighbor’s pond.
The duckling seemed OK and Ellie was happy looking after it, while we prepared to return it. Ellie then placed the duck in a plastic box with hay and we carried the duck back to the pond. (This sounds much easier than it was. I carried the duck and Ellie up the drive and then down the neighbor’s drive before Ellie started walking down the paddock.) We reached the pond and let the little duckling go. Ellie was happy to see him walk back towards us, before hearing the mummy ducks quack.
