Imagine my surprise when I opened the back door yesterday morning to see why the dog had not come back in yet and saw him trying to herd a mother duck and her babies! Just in time for Easter....real life little peeps! I counted at least 11 of them. Why the dog didn't kill them all I don't know, but I am extremely grateful! Poor mama duck got them stuck in the back yard and when I tried to herd them towards the gate where they had obviously come in, she panicked and some of the babies went through the chain linked fence, but she was too big! Fortunately, they figured out how to get back through and to their mama. After I took some pictures I went back in the house hoping they would figure out how to get back out and eventually she did. I haven't seen them since, but I sure wonder how they ever survive! If she had wandered in to my neighbors back yard I don't think their dog would have resisted the feast! It was a lucky day. Cute little peeps! I hope they make it!

Amazing! Aren't they cute and "furry" . I hope they survive too. Maybe Kimberly B. will find them and do a rescue again =)
Great pictures. Little ducklings are the cutest. I'm glad they found their way out into the world.
