On the eve of my birthday challenge, I had the most exciting news a girl with four dogs, two ducks and family of unwanted mice could have. Ducks
can and
will eat mice! Patricio el principal told me today that ducks and chickens can swallow mice whole! Just gobble them right up. A mouse shooter, if you will. He said he's never actually seen this phenomenon, but he read about it and Stephen confirmed. I am now going to be in the market for a flock of ducks and chickens to eat away the mice that have come in search of food. Depending on the zoning laws. Then I just might not feed EDub and PDub and tell them to earn their food.
Just thought of having her
hooha basted with mineral oil by a bunch of teenagers has scared PDub into acting normal because she is back to walking around the yard, swimming and generally being the happy go lucky duck that she is. I am also thrilled about this, but a bit disappointed I don't get to take my duck to school with me. Because that's not something you get to do often.
This morning when I walked outside I found a pigeon in the driveway. No, it was not dead as I first expected, instead she had laid an egg in my driveway. True story. I took a picture because who would believe a pigeon would lay an egg in my driveway of all places. I tried to move it over, but it obviously was not done drying out and it squished open. I screamed, just as the garbage man was pulling up to my house.

I'm already to start the birthday challenge tomorrow at 4:30am with the 35 lap swim. The afternoon will be a 3.5 mile walk and a mountain bike ride after that. If I can do four mountain bike rides I'll make the miles. After dinner this evening, I'm going to consult with the Pack and see how they want to help me out. Possibly by chewing up 35 objects or eating 35 chew bones. We'll have to discuss it because I'm not sure there are 35 objects left in the garage to chew up and I don't have 35 chew bones. Maybe we can work something out, like they eat 35 clumps of weeds.
"It's Birthday Challenge, not Birthday Pretty Easy," as Patricio is always saying.
