Unreasonable Gone Wild

This duck is not a Team Player.


First, she knew I was having a party tonight and I wanted duck eggs to put in my baking because I said, "EDub, could you lay some eggs soon, so I can put them in my baking?" I was very clear. She responded by biting at my pants so hard I had to shoo her away so she didn't rip a hole in them. Then yesterday I came home to discover that this duck had laid EIGHT eggs right next to the fence in a new nest which required me to move tree branches, move over tree branches and get hit in the face by tree branches all while being crouched down in order to reach them. And I had to throw them all away. THEN, then today I walked outside to grab the egg I was sure she had laid last night so I could use it today, only to discover as I was moving furniture to clean the duck crap off the patio that said duck had laid her egg right in the middle of her pile of crap on the patio! Another wasted egg! (I did not take a picture, because I don't want anyone to have an image of exactly how much duck crap was on the patio.)

I didn't know it, but Black Cat was visiting, but left when I started washing off the patio. Twice in one week. Maybe he's ready to start getting serious.
