Boodle the duck

Here's a post for my little duck-loving Marit...occasionally we're lucky enough here at the office to get a visit from Boodle, my officemate's pet duck. She thinks she's people, but she's a great little duck with a nifty hairdo.


When strangers come around to visit with her (in this case, me) she retreats to dad's lap until she decides it's safe. When she decides we're only there to give her a pet and take pictures she hops down and resumes her inspection of the carpet, no doubt looking for crumbs dropped during countless working lunches.

I think here Jeremy is telling her bird migration stories. "The common Eider flies each spring from the Russian coast all the way down the Aleutian chain to Alaska..." Careful Jeremy, Boodle is studying that map awfully closely. Better keep an eye on her this spring!
