We opened the pool last weekend, and for those of you who do not know swimming pools, it usually opens a nice algae green color. Some years the water that sits in the pool all winter has even been a lovely shade of black. It takes me about a week to clear it and get it to nice swimming blue. Since it is spring in the Mid-Atlantic, the ducks have come to roost and are very happy that I have provided them a lovely swimming hole. I was not terribly happy to see Mr. Duck getting ready for a swim this morning. I let the dogs out, but they can not get to the pool area, so all they did was bark. Mr. Duck could not have cared less, he stood there by the pool for a really long time anyway with the dogs barking safely outside the pool gate. I expect Mrs. Duck will be back with him soon; when he finds her. There is a lot of ‘that’ going on under my bushes right now; ducks finding their spring mates. Every year they come back and party in the yard. Then they have their ducklings under my bushes and waddle them down the road to the river. The cycle continues. That makes me so happy. But, I do not like the ducks in the pool or them leaving ‘presents’ on the edge.
Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

I remember I saw on Judge Judy the case of 2 neighbors one suing this lady who would not only feed ducks but to guide them into the swimming pool of the condominium, her defense was nice and well put, but not compelling enough for Jude Judy.

Great one – made me laugh. Maybe I should send them next door to the neighbors, their pool is much bluer.

I would be happy to come and clean up (eat) the duck poop. Around here, I “clean up” a lot of goose poop…
Love and licks,
