Well...I have been very busy...I have saved a duck family of 10 from becoming road kill, and have finished a You Tube video for the home page! Hear me roar! I have been collecting your e-mails, and feel like I am finally getting somewhere with this site!

Here is the link to the article that was in the newspaper! It was a great little article. The website article has a different headline - the headline in the paper was 'Waddle we do?'...I love it! Enjoy...

The duck story picks up as mama duck and her 7 ducklings are now safely out of the street...but what's that? Mama duck still seems rather freaked out! And what do I hear, but more sounds of distress...coming from the sewer grate! Oh no! 3 more babies have fallen into the nasty underground...I must intervene! The street department must be called! Alas, the nice man from the sewer maintenance division comes to our rescue. Meanwhile, mama duck looks on nervously...but, I think I see a wave of trust come over her as we make eye contact. I assure her that we are all doing everything we can, and she must stay strong! Finally, the sewer grate is pryed off, and the sun beams down on the poor babies. A bucket is lowered into the ground, and one by one the babies are rescued. I gently scoop each one out of the bucket and reunite them with the mama duck. After I place the last duckling with it's mother, again I make eye contact with her, and what do I see? But a small tear of thanks streaming down her little face and bill. "I don't know if we'll ever meet again," I say, "but God speed to you and your babies! Oh and by the way - I'm going to be in the local newspaper!" So all is well, I earned a few heaven points, and the sun keeps shining!
