Duck Soup!

Well people, I'm back... yes, its been ages, I know. We moved to Wisconsin about a year ago and you never heard a peep since then! In short, I tortured Tom tremendously on our drive here from DC -- barked the entire time! Yes, 14 hours - barking non-stop. The only time I stopped was when I realized I could munch on part of the car for a while to quell my nerves. I transitioned well once I was actually here at the house though!

Since then ive been tormenting the neighbors by barking out our window at anything and anyone that walks by!

We had a baby almost 2 weeks ago -- Baby Jonah Ian. He is cute and smells really great to me! I always want to lick his face but Miri will not let me.


NOW -- onto the greatest thing that has happened to me since we've been here!! The reason I decided to blog today!

I CAUGHT A LIVE DUCK IN MY MOUTH TODAY!! Yes, a huge mallard!




For the squeamish readers, let me calm you down and tell you that to my dismay, the duck got away unharmed. Here's the full story:

Miri was walking me (her second time since the baby was born) and we walked by this group of bushes and I realized a duck was in there (miri had no idea!) so I squiggled under the bushes and quickly caught the duck in my mouth and came out proudly with my prize! Miri screamed on the top of her lungs (I think the neighborhood must have thought she was crazy) and it scared me a little bit so I opened my mouth -- unfortunately the duck jumped out and Miri pulled me away so he was able to waddle away! Miri was on the phone with her friend Karen and she said she didn't even think the duck was alive when I caught her! Man, I wish I would have been able to keep her but I guess its better off because Miri would have been SO MAD!

Anyway, that's the update!

Love, your crazy gal, Madeline
