Howard has a wading pool
Yesterday (April 19th) we bought Howard (our duck) a wading pool. We filled it with water and we put Howard in it. He bathed, cleaned himself up for about 10 minutes, and go out.
He hasn't been back in it since.
We have Howard on our lower deck. He has his house which is a pet carrier, his food and water bowels, and now a wading pool for his own use. He has the Presidential Suite so to speak. We like to let him out about the yard occasionally. Just so he can remember what it is like. If he had his druthers he would rather be in the house.
About a week ago we let the dogs out and forgot that we let Howard out earlier. Howard got "wooled around" by our Cocker Spaniel, Two Mini-Schnauzers and a Schnoodle. I guess that is what you get when you try to eat out of a dog food bowl when the dog is eating first.He is ok but now he won't come off the deck. I guess you can train a duck. Now when we pick him up and put him in the yard he runs to the sliding glass door to get in the house. We'll see if he uses his wading pool in the future. But I have my doubts.
Stay tuned...
