"Quatro" Is Turning Five

[Richard S]

This post has no gun content. It is merely an update of happenings at the little three-acre piece of ground in the Great Smoky Mountains to which I have retired and call "Critter Creek."

Back in 2009 I posted a story about a duckling that I hatched from an abandoned egg here at the creek and named "Quatro." Here is the link to that 2009 thread:

Quatro's adoptive owner, a young man active in a local 4-H Club, has turned her into what might be called a "therapy duck," taking her to local fairs, sponsored picnics, and nursing homes for interaction with children and invalids. The duck is about to enter her fifth year, and here is a photograph of her and her owner taken last month:

That is cool!  I guess I missed this story five years back. 

I enjoyed the old thread.  Here in East Tx, we call ducks with those markings " Water Turkeys"  .

Thanks for sharing Richard


FELIZ QUINTO CUMPLEANOS QUATRO!

Thank you, Reinz and Jack. I'm just an old adrenalin junkie who has settled down to enjoy the simpler things in life I used to be too preoccupied to notice.
