Bye-Bye Toby & Good Helper

In June we went up to Orem for some testing for Nick. Jason & Joanna were left to take care of Toby & Peeps. We got a call on our way home that Peep wasn't out front and no where to be found. Peeps was the smaller one and wasn't very fast at getting away. We are assuming the the hawk that used to hang around our house got a hold of her or somehow she ventured off into the field...or maybe Jason just had roast duck for dinner ;)

Toby didn't handle Peeps disappearance very well and would waddle around squawking for her. He started acting as if he was depressed! Poor Mr. Tobs! After about a few weeks we decided it was best for Tobs to be with other ducks...and his droppings were not very fun to clean up as he was growing to be a bigger duck. We said our good byes and took him down to the nearby duck pond.

Walking down to the duck pond In he goes He had a rough time at first were the other ducks were trying to figure out why he was there. They pecked at him and the orangish/white duck, aka naughty duck, tried to drown him a few times but he stood his own and was finally accepted.Here are his pals that he would swim and lounge around with under the shade trees. We sure did love having Toby & Peeps while it lasted but, I think we are all happier..no more droppings to clean up and for Toby an endless supply of water to play in with other ducks!

Cooper Loves to Help with Dishes

I found this picture on my camera and asked Cooper when this was. He said that Keanna was babysitting him and she let him clean up the dishes. He loves to help wash dishes and vacuum. Hope it last for a while :)
