Ducking Out

It's never fun to think of animals dying...especially not after having a pet die.

We saw two ducks frozen in a pond yesterday. Literally frozen in it. It was a pond outside a doctor's office. You'd have thought someone would have seen them.

Anyways...

We called the PA Game Commission when we returned home, hoping someone would help them...if it wasn't too late.

Me: Hello. We'd like to report two ducks we saw frozen in a pond.
Gaming Commission Man (GCM) (sounding very laidback): Frozen?
Me: Yes. They were in the frozen part of the pond.
GCM: They were swimming around?
Me: No. There was a part of the pond that wasn't frozen because there were swans swimming in that part. But they weren't in that part.
GCM: They weren't just sitting on the ice?
Me: I don't think so.
GCM: 'Cuz they'll sit on the ice for the whole day and then fly away at the end.
Me: We could only see their neck and head sticking out the ice.
GCM: Only their neck and head?
Me: Yes.
GCM: Oh.
Me: Yes.
GCM: Okay. We'll send an officer over to check.

We really really really hope they did send someone....and that he/she wasn't too late...

...and that we didn't send them on a wild goose chase...no pun intended.
