You may recall when we celebrated Squirrel Appreciation Day. Today, we celebrate another member of the wild kingdom – ducks! That’s right, May is National Duckling Month…
- As usual, we begin with some puns: Duckleberry Finn, Duckbill Gates and Duck Rodgers.
- Speaking of puns, check out the report on this duckling rescue. Puns galore!
- Although not punny, these duckling photos are pretty darn cute! (Want more? Check out these cute ducks over at Winnie’s Dog Blog.)
- Looking for a way to celebrate ducklings this month? Check out these cute kids’ books about ducklings – I always did like Jemima Puddle-Duck.
- Three words: duckling obstacle course!
- Wondering how I’m going to connect the dots (connect the ducks?) between ducks and puppies? Wonder no more – check out what happens when a brave little duck meets a not-so-brave dog. (Apparently our pal Zona has also had her own duck-related trauma.)
However, don’t be fooled. We know that dogs and chicks can be friends… dogs and ducks can be too!

Speaking of dogs and ducks, this classic Donald Duck cartoon fits the theme perfectly. Have a great weekend!
We like ducks, we'd love to chase them but the human makes us walk nicely past them at the park 🙁 Hey, what time does a duck wake up? At the quack of dawn of course! Dex & Lou x
Ps Sorry that was from Dexters giant book of silly jokes.
♫ Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry… ♫ *breaking out into song* oh, sorry, couldn't help myself!! haha! Love the duckies, especially the "obstacle course"! btw, everyday is squirrel appreciation day in our house!
Your pals,
Diane and Cosmo Havanese
Dex & Lou – You're cracking me up!
Diane – Now I'm going to be singing that all day! I just watched When Harry Met Sally last weekend, and it was running through my head after that too. 🙂
National Ducking Month-Wow! I never heard of that one before, very cool!
You never duck out on your responsibilities to make us smile on Fridays! But man, the puns are killing me!
A duckling obstacle course? Seriously? I can't wait to check all of these links when I get home. There are many ducks in our lake. I will have to say hello.
I love ducks! Kelly tries chasing them at the lake, but she never catches up to them!
Love it! Thanks for starting my day off right!
Looove it! Have you seen this video of the duck chasing the JRT? haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVou0d5khDY

Great links…many thanks!!! Very nice! Lots of love, Holly & Mom
Awwwww…I miss when my duckie was just a baby! He was so cute. He just turned 10 years old last month!! We'll I have to give him the royal treatment since it's National Duck Month!!
Loved the video!
That is the sweetest and best natured dog *ever*
I don't think its fair that squirrels have a day and ducklings get a whole month! Its just not right…
That post was simply ducky!

We have little ducklings in our pond, they are so cute! Thankfully, Kirby doesn't seem to be interested in them…I think he's sticking to squirrels!

Funny thing today… I went for a run and passed a girl being followed around by 4 ducklings!
