Sometimes a seemingly ordinary action turns into a rather touching little event.
Last week I posted an ad on our local Craigs' List selling one of those plastic molded pond liners. One never really thinks of the outcome of such a mundane act; where do they go, who will buy it and what will they do with it? Right? Right. Out of sight, out of mind. Until this one found a home and to whom it went to...
Her name is Sophie. She is a duck. And this little duck has been spending her life in competition for water with her dog friend. Now, the water has always come in the dog bowl and as you know, most dog bowls aren't big enough for a duck to swim in. Still, Sophie was attracted to the water like a...duck is to water. Just as Sophie would be happily splashing in whatever water she could get her feet or bill or whatever in, the dog would most likely get thirsty. That's when Sophie and Dog would collide, and Dog would win.
Until a few days ago, that is.
Sophie is now happily circumnavigating her own little ocean, planted somewhere in her backyard, her little head tilted up toward the sky and little quacks cheerily escaping her throat.
Life is good.
