The General has been missing for 2 days. He's our Indian Runner cross drake. DH finally told me this morning that General has been a bit weak for a few days. General was a good leader of his flock of ducks, a master escapee when it came to finding a way out of the pen, as he also liked some solitary time, and a great pet. We think he just found a nice quiet hidden place and had his final sleep and it has to be in the area just east of the house as he's left us the faint aroma of his depart which comes with the late afternoon breeze. He was 12 years old and fowling friends tell me that's really old age for a duck. I'll have difficulty replacing him.
RIP old boy :(.
RIP General. I'm sorry he's gone, Robyn. What a wonderful thing to have a duck for such a long time. I'm sure you have many great memories of him.
ReplyDeleteOh Robyn, General was so beautiful! I'm so sorry to hear that he has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but he did have a good, long life. I know you'll miss him!
