Four years back, the Czarina and I helped a friend rescue a pair of wood ducklings in roughly the same situation: the bad news was that the mother was hit by oncoming traffic and killed. The good news was that we found an absolutely incredible bird rehabilitation shelter just south of Dallas, and the ducklings were well-cared-for until they were old enough to be released.

Oh yes! I saw that on the news yesterday; it made me think of Make Way for Ducklings -- which was my favorite book when I was a kid :)

Adorable. Mama duck knew exactly what the officers were doing for her.

My Boerboel was listening to the ducks on the speakers, cocking her head and crying. She wanted to help the ducks herself.

Well, at least all of mama ducks hard work didn't go down the drain. :)
