Sally, Ditzy Mitzi & Sgt. Pepper's Blog (2)

My DH just went to the front door to bring in the morning paper and was greeted by our favorite Muscovy Duck.  She was standing right on our front porch, thought for a minute she would try to fly inside the house to get her daily snack of bread.   She has been coming to our yard for a while now, and is beginning to feel like a member of the family.  Just standing there, waiting and watching, its like we have a "guard duck"!

This morning we almost had the scare of a lifetime when we heard barking coming from outside our front door!  Apparently Sgt. Pepper got out of the backyard and wanted to get back into the house!

Somehow the gate had not shut properly.  Just wanted to share, at this time of the year, especially when we are so busy, we should not overlook simple things, especially when it comes to the safety of our fur kids.
