Dastardly Ducks And Carnivore Catfish

Even though Mom still isn't feeling the best she said we needed to go to the park and get some sniffing in. First stop was to feed the ducks - we really don't know why she insists on this when we would happily eat the bread but NNNNOOOO when ever we have some left over she always takes it for them!  Of coarse we don't trust those dastardly ducks - so Dweeb and I protect each others butts just so they don't get a chance to peck at us.













Not only the duckies were eating the bread some  big old carnivorous catfish were chowing down on it too. We counted 9 of them ! This big guy in the photo was almost two foot long and would suddenly come to the surface and grab a chunk of bread - he even chased the ducks away but nibbling at their feet !













After feeding the duckies we headed up into the woods where it was cooler. We even followed some paths we hadn't been down before and came across a neat little ravine. It doesn't show up well in the photo but it dropped down about 40 feet. Mom says when it is cooler we will go back again and do some more exploring.

  1. We agree, eating the ducks would be much more pleasant than feeding them. We hope your mom continues to feel better!

  2. Oh my huge duck foot nibbling catfish. Wow that is a first for us. I hate when they throw bread to the duckies etc as they should stuff it with bacon and give it to me. Have a tremendous Thursday.
    Best wishes Molly

I've got to remember that move. oh wait a minute - I don't have a brother to do that with. I need to work on that - snorts. Love the pictures as always. Those trails look like so much fun. My mom would have a lot of fun walking them with ya'll. Take it easy, take care of your mom and give her some hogs and snout kisses for me okay. XOXO - Bacon

  23. Even when moms don't feel 100% it is good for them to get out and get some fresh air and a bit of exercise if they can. Those ducks wouldn't come near us, even if we had bread, but I'm glad they did not attack you. We have those rotten Canadian Geese that do attack even when we are just walking by.
