My Birthday Duckling

We had a duck in China many years ago, it was the pet love of our lives, though it didn't live long. Recently I was interested to find that the reason sister Lisa is bitter towards having pets is because of the tragic death of our duckling.

I'm turning 20 in a few days and I'd been telling sister Tammy that I wanted a duckling for my birthday. Really we should have got one a long time ago. So today Tammy organized a trip to a farm, and brought back this cute fuzzy yellow thing.
He already follows us about the yard, and when we took the little duck swimming this afternoon he/she was quite an able swimmer -better than me anyway. In the pool he followed our heads around the water. I put him up on the ledge beside the pool and he dove in and scurried after.
Thank you so much Tammy, I think we're all in love with the duckling already.
