I was woke up early this morning by an unfamiliar sound outside my bedroom window. What could it be? No, It can't be!! It must be a dream. Chris and I get out of bed a little while later and I ask him, "Did you hear a quacking sound outside the bedroom window this morning?" If only I had gotten a picture of his expression right there, it would have been priceless. Well we start going about our morning..coffee, breakfast and then I take a step outside on the back deck to see how warm it is and there it is, the Aflac duck!
I ran to get my camera and as soon as he saw me he took off in a run into the woods so I didn't get a good picture of him. So where did he come from? Turns out the neighbor, my brother, got a new pet and is having a hard time keeping him in the yard. Have you ever had to call a neighbor to tell them that their pet duck is in your yard?
Then I go out back to let my trusted friend off of his chain and I am worried that he is going to chase the duck around the yard. What can I do to occupy the dogs attention. AhHa, I have been saving a ham bone in the freezer for just this occasion. YUM.
And then, the plot thicken.....
As I am in the house typing this blog entry, another guest arrives in my yard. It's the neighbor, and he came with a net. I found out that it is a girl duck and her name is Angel.
No luck on the duck search. Maybe it will show up tomorrow morning again.
***********UPDATE*********
Several hours later.....Angel has been found!!!

My oh My, only your neighbors.....
That is an interesting pet. It reminds me of the show Friends when Joey had a pet duck. Now they just need a chicken!
Duck soup at the Bruggink's next time it comes over.
Tabby....I think they do have a chicken?!? You do have interesting neighbors. Why did the duck cross the road?!? (maybe ask the chicken)
Those are some strange neighbors! HeHe!
I thought I heard quacking in the neighborhood lately.
Did anyone get to work on time that day!!!Sounds like you guys had a blast chasing poor Angel. Hey, Patti, I like your stars and flowers on your blogpage--cute!!
Thanks for the funny story Patty:)
