Anybody remember this little fluff ball?

I was looking through pictures on my computer last night and came across a bunch of Peeps' baby pictures. This picture was taken on the day I found her. I can't believe that this little fluff ball has turned into the big beautiful white duck that she is today!

Hmmm...those are the crunchy things I love!

Last night, before putting Peeps to bed I brought her in the house for some play time. I put her on the diningroom floor (because it is easiest to clean) and then I laid on the floor as well. First thing Peeps does is come over to me and stand on my arm and preen my hair...I wish I could have gotten a picture of it, it was hilarious. She must think she is part parrot now since she hears the wild parrots outside all day. So after her standing on my arm I realize that her nails NEED to be cut and I send Nicole looking for the nail clippers. I thought the clippers were in Peeps' travel bag so Nicole procedes to take everything out of the bag and put it on the floor. The minute she set the treats down Peeps went right for them and as she tried to eat them through the bag they slid across the floor. It was funny. Peeps is quite the character...gotta love her!!!!!!

Peeps At Home In Ojai...

Well Peeps survived her first trip to grandma's new place in Ojai. Grandma decided that after lunch we would "show off" Peeps in the TV room where according to her they only show sports or politics, which I think means CNN. So we roll Peeps into the TV room where there are 3 residents and 2 employees hanging out. The one gentleman sitting in a chair wanted nothing to do with Peeps, which is fine because he was just sitting there in his boxers and open robe! One lady named Dorothy, when she finally realized that there was a duck in the room her face lit up and she began to laugh...it was cute. The other lady, whose name escapes me right now, was the only one who wanted to pet Peeps and gave her a couple treats. The 2 workers were these cute little Asian women who just kept saying, "look...quack, quack, quack!" and then mumbled something about Peking Duck :-( Our cue to leave came when another gentleman was wheeled into the room and my grandma said, "Dr. King, would you like to pet the duck?" and he said, "I don't want to pet the duck, I want to put it in the oven!" Ok we are out of here....BACK AWAY FROM THE DUCK! All in all it was a great visit and I can't wait to bring Peeps back again. This could be good training for her to become a therapy duck!

This Saturday...

So it is our "weekend" to go visit my grandma who is now in an assited living type place and of course we are bringing Peeps. My grandma checked with the place and they said it was ok for Peeps to come and of course my grandma is telling everyone there about "having a duck on Saturday." She called me last night (Thursday) to first of all make sure I was coming tomorrow, which I then told her that we were coming on Saturday, not tomorrow and she says, "well what day is today?" Oh my grandma, gotta love her! Ok so now that we have the day right she then makes sure we are bringing HER duck and I tell her yes and then she procedes to say the following, "oh good, everyone is excited to know that we will have a duck here on Saturday...pause...oh no, I hope they don't think we are eating the duck!" TRUE STORY! :)

Peeps goes to Redondo Beach...

Peeps got to meet a new friend yesterday when Nicole and I took her out to see Nic's Auntie Becky in Redondo Beach. Peeps really seemed to like her new friend and I think the feeling was mutual on Becky's side too. Peeps was very attentive as we hung out at the back of my car and chatted. It appeared that she was actually listening to what we were saying and she was actually very quiet. It is a good thing that she did not know that there was a BIG pool on the other side of that fence, man would she love to swim in there!!!!

Hello Egg...

This egg right here was laid at exactly 6:46 this morning...you know how I know? I got to see Peeps lay it!!!! It was pretty cool. Peeps has been laying eggs since October '08 and this is the first one I ever got to see actually come out of her. What an amazing thing to see to start off my Friday...today is going to be a good day :)
