| Friends of a Feather |
Little Dude looked forward to feeding the ducks almost as much as the ducks did! He was especially fond of the black duck, who was the more outgoing of the two feathered friends.
These ducks had Grandma trained before we arrived. They would waddle up every morning and evening for breakfast and dinner.
Sometimes the black duck would wait for us to return home after one of our outings. When Little Dude saw him, he would excitedly shout, "My friend! My friend!"
However, not all of us were fond of the ducks. Maggie was quite duck-intolerant and tried to keep them away when she could.
The ducks share the pond (and the bread) with a bunch of box turtles and soft shell turtles. We had fun feeding them too!
There were also a few ibis that liked to hang around... especially when there were bites of bread being thrown around.
The RV resort also had resident iguanas who lived just a few spaces down. They were very fond of one of the ladies there and actually came up to her and licked her like some sort of scaly, reptilian puppy!
For the rest of us, the iguana kept their distance. Thank goodness! I'm not sure I could take being licked by an iguana!
We were happy enough with the ducks.
Now that he's back home, Little Dude misses his friend... and even calls Grandma to check on how the ducks are doing!
