I sure did need a story like that today!!! Super. Thank you Kirk Also enjoyed your Fox News video Jules!!! Ducks are the nastiest pets to try and have in a yard in suburbia. Many years ago I had a water fountain with a pond and also a large goldfish pond with a bridge. With all of that water I thought I should be able to have a beautiful sweet little duck or two swimming around. A very savvy bird salesman sent me home with three ducks and two baby peacocks. CAN YOU SAY "POO ON EVERYTHING"? The fountain pond turned brown and the goldfish pond turned green and both of them stunk!!! I had to put the poor goldfish on prozac after all of the abuse they suffered. The peacocks pooed an 8" pile on the deck every night-everywhere. I hosed things down so much that my lawn was becoming a mudd hole. This pleased the ducks just fine. Would you have guessed that a peacock could sound so much like a child being strangled? How about two peacocks? Now amplify that 1000 percent. My neighbors refused to smile at me anymore. They were already shocked that I had 3 yappy dogs who now were yapping at ducks and peacocks as well. And of course they chased our feathered pets up over the fence into the neighbors yard a time or two. It all ended with a call to "Old McDonald's Petting Zoo". They came out and said "Who in the world would have these ducks and peacocks in a suburban back yard"? I said "er....they're strays!!! Yep, no collars, tags, or microchips. Just dumped out on the road. Yesser, just left for me to rescue them from harms way" (sheepish grin with imaginary halow).

Hey!!!!!!! What happened to all of the leaves on my baby? Just kidding. She looks alright. Just give her plenty of light and remember to keep her on the dry side. Congrats again Mike! Glad you finally got one. And glad we were able to work something out. - Matt

Thanks, Casey, for sharing this heartwarming story of the gift that those considerate ironworkers are giving to the children. What a tragic thing it is that such small children have to cope with the scourge of cancer. And it will get worse ... for we keep finding more of these complex and exotic chemicals (which aren`t tested as much as they should be) ... ... and for certain some of them will turn out in future years to have been human-unfriendly. ole joyful

How in the world would you keep 800 dogs?! I have 2 & they're a handfull... LOL! I'm glad they've been rescued, but most did look like they were OK, healthwise. I hate seeing the dog's faces though. It's like they're wondering, "what the heck is going on?"
