My Ducky Darling

 My darling Ping was horribly killed by a raccoon. It was awful. I wont go into the details, but it was bad. I don't think I will ever be a very good farmer if every time I lose an animal I spend the day crying.  Her ducky personality will be missed.

Her attacker was captured, and even though he is cute (ok, who an I kidding, this thing is evil) , this evil creature had to go. We were so afraid that he would come back for Pong that we barricaded his pen with 40 pound bags of dirt. It work and he was unharmed. The coon was caught the first night we set the trap. We are continuing to set the trap to make sure there isn't another one. Hopefully there will be no more dead animals that I will cry about.
