\nLast night, April Shadow and Lester Leroy had a long conversation in the dark. I couldn’t help but wonder if they were talking about April leaving for a new forever home. Lester has been a great friend to April, and she has been a good friend to him. We’re sorry to say farewell, but happy that she is headed to a home that is an even better fit for her.<\/p>\n

\"they
\nToday at noon we took April Shadow to her new forever home. She was ready to help us navigate, and although she was a little bit stressed, she was still calm-enough to eat peas along the way.<\/p>\n

\"new\"
\nHer new place has a predator-proof pen with hardware cloth on all sides, top and bottom. It has a roof and best of all, a pool with running water! And this is just their day aviary. At night they sleep in the garage with a baby pool and sometimes they hang out in the house. April was friendly-enough to let her new people touch her and she ate some peas out of their hands.<\/p>\n

\"willard\"
\nHer new buddy is a duck named Willard. He immediately mated with her, but then decided he was a little wary of his new girlfriend. April Shadow took it all in stride and made herself right at home. Willard just lost a great duck buddy to a tumor at 7-years-old, so he needs a new friend. April Shadow can now have a guy who is just her type, and who can get up and around and swim with her and hunt for bugs. It’s a good match.<\/p>\n

\"sides\"
\nApril Shadow and Willard swam together, but kept to their own sides. Willard is still grieving the loss of his buddy Peepers, and April is adjusting to the new surroundings. I think in just a very few days though, they will become good friends.<\/p>\n

\"handsome\"
\nYou’re a very handsome guy, Willard. Take good care of little April Shadow. And send a photo once in a while, maybe once you decide she doesn’t have cooties. Be good, April Shadow. And keep Willard busy while he gets over the loss of his buddy Peepers. I know you’ll be good friends in no time.<\/p>\n

And don’t worry… I will take good care of Lester for you, April.<\/p>\n

Lots of love,<\/p>\n

The Silly Human, Lester Leroy and all the ducks and clucks
\nXOXOX<\/p>\n
