Ahh. Hmm.
We did a short session at lunch yesterday during which I threw more "no birds" - I think I read you should throw something around 75% "no birds." So I'm trying to be better about that. Her holding was good.
Took her to the Grandparents' house for dinner. She was feeling ornery and fetched some cucumbers out of the garden.
Cut the wings off my duck last night. I've got them sitting with the ends in a bowl of salt in the garage to help dry them out. Bought another canvas bumper at the local Farm & Fleet to attach the wings to. The two employees at the checkout couldn't figure out what it was or what I would use it for. I told them what I was going to do to it. I don't think they knew what to think of me after that.
Showed the duck body to Hailey last night after I had taken the wings off. She sniffed it a little, but was rather unsure...which surprised me. Usually she's out finding dead things. I didn't push it at her. Just let her look and then put it back in the refrigerator.
I've decided I'm an awesome wife. Dead ducks in my freezer and my fridge and here I am handling them too. I've helped process deer, but it's been a long time since I've handled dead things that still look like cute animals and not just hunks of meat, lol.
