Wind beaneath my wings


Still no ducklings and it seems I'm not the only one in the family dreaming about ducklings. I just went and checked and it seems they are still not here. As this is my first experience with ducklings and egg hatching I'm not sure if this wait is normal or what to expect (other than being excited).

Miss Muffet is getting better by the day. I've managed to book her into a avian vet for next Tuesday about 45min away so Papa is going to take me and the duck. I'll be glad to have her see a Dr that can actually diagnose her correctly and give me information I can trust. She's definitely putting weight on too and foraging too. Now if I could only get her to take a bath.
I finally watched 'Beaches' yesterday, it only took me a year since I last planned to watch it. For those of you who need reminding of what happened when I last tried to watch it. http://hydrorancho.blogspot.com/2008/01/beaches.html I thought of the ducks and what happened last year. That wind beneath my wings song gets me every time. I still have images of me patting the baby girl telling them to "Fly, Fly higher etc etc". Maybe I should add that song to my list of Karaoke numbers?

We're on duckling watch here too, keeping our fingers (and paws) crossed. Oh man, Beaches is just too much, why don't you add Steel Magnolias and Love Story to the list too while you're at it?

I'm at wits end waiting for these ducklings to arrive. Imagine how Lady must feel? I'm away from home today and tomorrow so maybe the new additions will arrive then.
Oh for the duckling cam
