I was indoors when it happened but the college student was outside studying. She came running back in the house yelling that there is a duck in the pool. She said that the male ducks were harassing this when she decided to take safe haven in our pool. yay! I'm really hoping that this does not become the halfway house for abused female ducks. I know that we women need to stick together but I draw the line at my pool where the female ducks are concerned.
The other less than human female of the house was having none of this either. Abigail, the fearless dachshund, was running around the pool trying to get her out of there.
There was a standoff at the edge of the pool. Unfortunately Abigail has a fear of water... unless it happens to be in her waterer and then she is even scared of that when the bowl refills and makes noises. The duck was taunting her as she ran around the pool barking.
Finally I had gotten enough pictures and went and grabbed the net for cleaning the pool. I was really hoping I would not have to go as far as scooping her out of there. Fortunately she wanted nothing to do with me or that net and flew away. Sadly, the male ducks started bugging her again. Men!!
