The Little Duckling

   About 3 years ago, we found ourselves taking care of a baby duckling.
It was all alone at the pond and was following us around. So we brought it home and fed it bugs. And more bugs. And slugs--the bigger, the better.  If you've ever seen a mommy duck with her ducklings, they are cute! They sound just like chicks--peep! peep!
  We kept it under the kitchen table with lots of newspapers underneath while it was growing up. Besides bugs and slugs, it liked oats and absolutely loved ham. I found out accidentally one day when I dropped some ham on the floor and it ran over and quickly snapped it up. One of its favorite pastimes was sitting on the windowsill and watching the cars go by.
  We have a flat roof, so we kept it outside once the weather got warmer. One day, it decided to try out its new wings. It flew in a circle to get its bearings, and then took off for the pond where it was hatched. (We live only about a block from the duck pond.) The next blog will be about what happened after that. C U!
