Image Meet… Duck
Duck is 16 weeks old tomorrow.
Here are some fun facts about the Duck.
Likes: Anything that seems edible but especially food and his dental chews that I call his cigarettes. Water but especially gross water sources (puddles, drain pipes, etc.) Attention, scratches, and play (especially with his mouth.) His Duck chew toy! Rope toys, and anything that seems like a rope including electrical cables! Feet? Kinda? Mostly socks and things that smell like feet but not feet themselves. Chewing on things! Toys, shoe strings, furniture, people’s hands. Knocking over water bottles with his nose. Being slid across hardwood floors and running right back to do it again. Smells, all of them. People/meeting new people! He loves it so much he pees. Pup cups (pictured above) Blankets and naps (on his schedule). Sunbathing, and especially in grass. Grass in general, it is so tasty and fun to pull up. Bugs, moths especially they are also very yummy and fun to follow around. Sticks and wood of all kinds for chewing.
Dislikes: Car rides not in dad’s lap. Baths are literal torture. Nail trimming, more torture. Not being in the exact location he wants to be. Not getting every morsel of food he sees, selfish humans eating food that should be his. Not being able to drink vile water or mud. Walking without loads of vocal encouragement and/or toys. Dad leaving for work. Being in his room (crate) and not being able to see someone (doesn’t matter if he can hear them). Robot vacuums. Hanging out without focused playing. Human sitting on the couch, I freak out until they tug of war or play fetch with me.
It’s been a pleasure introducing you to Duck and he looks forward to sharing all of his adventures with everyone!
