Rambo and the duck

On Thursday, August 5th, I came home from work feeling great. I had friday off and was going to spend it with Jessica and my niece, Amelia. When I arrived home I let all 5 dogs out in the backyard like always. I went back in the house for a minute, put on my house shoes, and went back on the patio to call the dogs in. Four of them answered my call. Rambo was missing.





Rambo can squeeze through a 2" space and is very good at getting outside of our fence. So I started looking in the usual places and found him in my neighbors yard. He was barking at something but I couldn't see what it was. After closer inspection I realize it is a small duck. He is snapping and jumping at her, biting her tail feathers and she is snapping and leaping at Rambo. I really think he was playing but the duck was not amused.





I run back in the house, put on my shoes, grab the video camera (which was on my way out) and dash into the back yard leaving the other 4 dogs in the house. After making a huge horseshoe-shaped loop, I am in my neighbors fenced yard. I video Rambo with the duck (see attached). I don't linger long because the duck is tiring. She isn't flying and is mouth breathing which concerned me. So then I tell Rambo to "Stay!". Who was I kidding? He takes off and scoots back under the fence and into my yard. I make the horseshoe-shaped loop again and end up in my yard as well. Rambo is waiting for me at the back door looking cute. I was as amused as the duck.





I let Rambo in the house and go into the kitchen to get some ice water. As I am gulping the water down, Daisy and Chloe get into a fight. They are fighting under a chair in the breakfast room and then move under the table where I grab Chloe. I carry her to the baby gate by Jessicas' room and put her behind it. I turn around and see Rambo ~ throwing up on the rug.





I have been home 15 minutes. I love my dogs, well most of the time.
