Well! After a week of teaching Rufus, Molly and Delilah how to swim in our utility sink, we finally had a warm and sunny enough day to introduce them to the kiddy pool! What fun! Delilah, being the smallest of the bunch, stuck mainly to the shallow end of the pool while Rufus and Molly had a ball diving and ducking in and out of the deep end. Steve and I had just as much fun watching them splash and play.
Tex and Rosie wandered over from next door to see what all the commotion was about. As we've been working the two into a respectful relationship with the birds over the past few weeks, we decided now would be a good time to give them some unrestrained, but closely watched, contact. Both Tex and Rosie did beautifully, giving the birds their space and generally not eating them like ducknuggets. Tex however decided the ducks needed some loving and took to licking them all over with his big soggy tongue. We ended the day's events with a nap in the sun.
