The Quack has a tub now. He doesn't like to get into it, but enjoys splashing his head in there and drinking out of it.



The mule deer was curious about the goose. Quackers wasn't terribly excited, took it in stride.



On a hot summer day, there is nothing like a dip in the river after working on the car.



Sometimes Quackers follows us there.



and sometimes he has to be carried part of the way.







At first I wondered if Quackers would want to stay in the river all the time and might even take the opportunity to be swept downstream, but he only stays in the water as long as we are in it with him, and only goes out as far as we do. Once we get out, he is right behind us, and ready to walk back to our house on his own.

Back home, time for a nap. He sleeps with one eye open.
