Wow...Peeps has had one busy weekend. Saturday morning Peeps and I packed up the car and headed off to grandma's house. Auntie Shirley was also up at grandma's so it was nice to see her. She had brought up some giant pickles for me and despite the fact that I am not supposed to have them I ate one anyway :) Peeps was sitting in her stroller next to me while I was eating and I thought it might be fun to see if she likes pickles so I gave her a small piece. She is very food driven and will easily take anything from your hand and she took the pickle, rolled it around in her mouth for a couple seconds and then spit it out! It was hilarious! I tried a few times and got the same reaction every time...hmmm maybe Peeps doesn't like pickles :) Speaking of Peeps being a "picky eater" Aunt Shirley and I went to some feed stores in town and I figured I would ask for duck food since we were out in the boonies and many people have livestock out there. We walked into this one feed store and asked the lady if they had any duck food and the lady said she did but she named off some duck food that I know Peeps won't eat and I said to her, "oh my duck won't eat that." The lady gave me the weirdest look and I had to explain to her that I have a princess duck and she will not eat just any duck food!
Sunday morning I woke up and Peeps had laid an egg...WOO HOO. It was small and the shell was very soft but it was an egg nonetheless and I was happy she had passed this one ok. So after "brunch" Peeps and I loaded up the Element and headed back home, this time Peeps was up in the front seat in her carrier. I rolled the window down and let the wind go thru her hair...she loved it. So we are driving down PCH and in the Malibu area listening to Barbra Streisand on the iPod and since I know where Babs lives I decided to hang a right and do a drive-by of her house as I sometimes do. So we arrive at the exclusive cul de sac where she lives and I glance over at the barn (one of the multiple houses on her compound) and there she is...standing out there with her hair pulled back and maybe doing some gardening? Me and Peeps were very excited to see her and I would have stayed longer to try and get a pic but there was this security/driver-looking guy standing nearby so we drove on. I think this is Peeps' very first celebrity sighting!
Sunday was exactly one week since Peeps had her stay in the hospital and since she was almost 100% better (I say 99% because of the small, soft egg) we decided to get some cookies and take them over to the nice people at the emergency pet clinic. Luckily when we got there they had no other patients in the waiting room so the person working the desk went back and got Dr. Weber. Peeps seemed happy to see him, she even game him some kisses. The vet tech who helped work on Peeps was also there and very happy to see her up and moving. It was nice! I highly recommend this place if you ever need emergency animal services, they will treat you and your animals good there. It is the Emergency Pet Clinic of Garden Grove, here is their website - http://www.er4yourpet.com/
Well it was a busy weekend for both of us but since Peeps has been moved back outside to her Ducky Duplex I am sure right about now she is relaxing in the Duckuzzi!!!!!
