Our First Pet

I was going through our summer pictures and realized that I never posted about our first pet! Back in May we decided to get a baby duck. We went with our friends Justin and Marissa to a farm store and each got a duckling for $4. We named our little yellow duck Guard Duck (see the comic strip Pearls Before Swine), and his black friend was named Tyron. They lived together in a big box and they were adorable. When they were out of their box they would follow you around chirping, just like you were their mother duck. It was so fun. Sadly after about a month they were attacked by a cat and both died. But we loved them while we had them!
