Dorothy Rest In Peace

Early Monday morning, November 21, just before 1 AM, our smallest and most vulnerable duck suffered a tragic accident.  Something had been visiting the greenhouse at night and was raiding the ducks eggs. Dorothy appears to have fallen into the center of the greenhouse and landed wrong, breaking her leg.

Ryan found her and after much agonizing thought and many difficult phone calls, decided to put her down. She went very quickly and by the time the decision had been made, appeared to have accepted what was about to happen.  We buried her the next morning in the garden.
