MY DEAR LITTLE DUCK DUCK

TO OTHERS YOU WERE JUST A DUCK TO ME. YOU WERE MY LITTLE MATE. YOU CAME TO ME LOOKING LIKE A LITTLE BROWN COTTON BUD SO TINY WITH A BEAK LIKE RUBBER. YOU FOLLOWED ME EVERY WHERE AND AS YOU GOT BIGGER THE DOGS WERE YOUR MATES. YOU WOULD LOVE TO LAY ON THE PORCH WITH THEM IN THE SUN AND CLIMB ALL OVER THEM NEVER REALIZING THAT THEY WERE BIGGER THEN YOU. YOU CHASED THE BALL LIKE THEM AND QUACKED AT STRANGERS.

YOU WERE SUCH A SWEET LITTLE MAN BUT NOW YOU ARE IN HEAVEN WITH YOUR DEAR FRIEND MRS BOOKTA (CHICKEN). WHY YOU BOTH LEFT ME AT THE SAME TIME I DO NOT KNOW. BUT AT LEAST YOU ARE TOGETHER UP THERE AND CAN SCRATCH AND PECK ALL DAY. A DUCK AND CHICKEN THAT WERE SO WONDERFUL AND SPECIAL TO ME GOOD BY MY LITTLE FEATHERED MATES. YOU WILL “ALWAYS “BE IN MY HEART AND MEMORIES.

LOVE MANDY XXXX
