Last night my grandparents gave me a belated birthday present: an outdoor exercise pen for dogs (or ducks or rabbits)! This makes a perfect addition for my ladies to expand their habitat. I placed them in the run this morning and covered it with some wire fencing, which I had bought to duck proof my yard, so that they can be protected from hawks and the like. They expressed their joy with many cheep-cheeps; Ole Stripe Eyes even attempted a quack (it sounded more like a squeaky hinge but at least she tried). Here's a pic of them frolicking in the grass:

As I was transferring them into their new play-pen I inspected OSE's nasty ear, and, to my great surprise, it looks almost normal! Her ear is still super gunky and gross, but it definitely looks to be on the mend. No sign of infection in her other ear or in the other ducks so exciting news there! Things are looking up in the meadow.
Tomorrow I plan on ripping up ("harvesting") my absurdly overgrown sweet potatoes and then letting my ladies have at the bugs and dirt and seeds that'll be left behind, so hopefully the trio will leave something of the happiness they bring.
That was a Dracula reference if you didn't catch it.
Catch y'all tomorrow.
