I forgot to mention that the other morning when it was rainy (steady, but not really all that hard ... but all night long) as we left for work we pulled out of the driveway and around the corner ... and there was a duck walking in the middle of the road.
She stopped (female mallard).
We stopped.
We looked at each other for a split second or two, then the duck took off in a bee-line flight right down the alley.
.... Sure, it was wet out, but it wasn't THAT wet out that you'd expect to just run across random ducks while driving!
Of course, about a week ago there was a fire in a nature sanctuary just up the road, so Maxx was wondering if the wee thing hadn't lost her home in the fire. Hope she's safe and snug somewhere.
It's sad, but all too often, that animals become homeless as well as people.
