Besides the laryngitis, I mean...
Updates on Life in The Country™ Went to talk to the duck-doc today about Larry and his broken leg. Apparently the leg is coming along fine and the duck-doc could find nothing to explain his enui. [Larry's, that is. The duck-doc's ennui is his own business.] Maybe he's just sick o' bein' sick -- like me. He seems to *like* it when I hold him these past coupla days... Usta be that's what I'd threaten 'em with when they were being dicks -- "Knock it off or I'm gonna hug you!" Now, I don't know *how* I'm gonna make 'em duck back in line... So more rest is on the schedule. And digging up some woims to see if I can tempt his palate. His duck-buddy, Hunter, will not leave his side. Larry is convalescing in a large dog kennel on the porch and Hunter would be in there with him all day If I let him. I kick Hunter out in the am to have a little wash-up and wander about. He is right back at the door wanting in within the half-hour. Loyal, that little fella. When I carry Larry out to sun on the lawn, Hunter is quacking behind me or flying out in front, "Don't you take my duck -- Larry is *my* duck, you put him down!" This afternoon, I'm making Hunter stay out of the kennel to see if Larry is poopin' good -- hard to tell with the two of 'em in there. Hunter is sitting right outside the door looking in. A good, loyal friend. I'm proud to know him. UPDATE: Larry left us on Friday around noon. He will be sorely missed.
