Jon Dawson: Lost wedding rings and pet ducks

TD#1 has been harping on the pet duck thing for about a year now. We have a beautiful dog named Lucille that is quite loving to people and joyously homicidal to any series of critters she discovers invading our yard. I'm not sure what function the duck would serve that Lucille isn't already serving, as she loves the water and after eating too quickly is known to quack like a Gatling gun for several minutes.

Jon Dawson: When your dog eats scissors...

At night when everyone has stopped scurrying around, Lucille and I love to go for a walk. She periodically gets distracted and proceeds to dig up several acres of farmland in pursuit of some varmint. She chases birds and rabbits day and night - and occasionally catches them. I can't tell you how many crime scenes our sweet dog has generated.
