Amusing thoughts.....

Next year, I shall be 60. Never ever thought I would be 60... but do any of us? However, I like this age, very much.
More thoughtful, peaceful and knowing what is important in life.. which brings me to.... ahh, this little Shelduck Daisy. I've had a wonderful break through with her over last couple of days. Tis as though she finally knows, after 7 months, she can trust me. I can now hold her, cuddle her, rub her head and body and she 'chirrups' into my ear, nibbling on my ears, nose, eyes and mouth. Whether or not this has come about because I have another little duck in my care, I don't know. The new duck is a juvenile Mallard with a very sore leg. Daisy is not aggro to this little duck but perhaps she is telling me, SHE is top duck and that I don't need another duck in my life (which I don't!).

However, I'm just going to take it slowly with Daisy... continue this loving bond between us and then, perhaps, in a few days, try the harness on her.
