Meanwhile, we took a sample of her poop over to the veterinarian to check and ensure she is free of parasites.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6056\/6224267891_2a4c87c485.jpg\" alt=\"thankfully\" \/><br \/>\nThankfully she is parasite-free! So that means she can now enjoy the company of her new crush, Lester Leroy. Gus tried to give her a bit of a hard time, but she just kept going around him to stand next to Lessie. She really likes Lester.<\/p>\n<p><code><object width=\"500\" height=\"254\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/AJ76MyGv7D8?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/AJ76MyGv7D8?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"254\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/code><br \/>\nLester enjoyed his evening swim and tried to keep the new girl out of his pool. As you can see, she REALLY wanted to join him for a swim. They are very cute together and I hope they continue to get along well. She can be REALLY LOUD when she wants to (like when I put Lester away for the night and she couldn&#8217;t play with him any more), so we&#8217;ll have to cross our fingers and hope it doesn&#8217;t become a problem. <\/p>\n<p>For now she is safe and happy and healthy and content, and a very good ducky.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbk_share\"><div class=\"fcbk_like\"><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/ducksandclucks.com\/blog\/2011\/10\/08\/new-kid-on-the-flock\/\" layout=\"button_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" share=\"false\"><\/fb:like><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today the new duck started her day by visiting with me on the bed for a while before getting up and going outside.
