Howard The Duck

For those of you who don't know, I grew up with an amazing variety of animals, mostly injured animals that we took in for a few days until they were well enough to be released or sent to a wldlife refuge. The most recent may be staying for awhile. A domestic duck came running up to my parents at the park one day, obviously starving, and within reach of a fox, so he came home. They named him Howard and they say he's going to a sanctuary, but we'll see how that goes. He's very friendly and likes cuddling on laps and following us around the yard. They did some research and found out he's an Indian running duck, which is why he stands almost completely erect, unlike most ducks. So, of course, I had to take a trip down there to play with him!
