This adorable little head belongs to Dorothy, she was one of several sweethearts that we picked up from Sasha Farms last summer. Strangely, Thursday, while Monty and Dorothy (whom she was named after) were visiting our Sanctuary (dropping …off five more ducks, story on its way) we, by mere coincidence, came across Dorothy sort of […]

This is Kelsey, he stopped by yesterday for a lifetime visit. I received a call from Alex late in the afternoon Friday and he wondered if we would take a duck that was found in the middle of a fairly busy street in Flushing, just north of Flint. Apparently he had been hit by a […]

  We would like to give a special thank you to Rachael, Karley and Kara, for their beautiful card (and much appreciated donation) and the very kind words, for the passing of Big Joe.
