My friends, the time is nigh!  Meet Spruce:

Spruce Goose.  In the lower right of that picture is Spruce's future boyfriend, Bruce.  Bruce Goose.

Along with Mr and Ms Goose, we got 4 Khaki Campbells, and 3 Indian Runners.  The geese are huge (3.6 ounces each), but the ducks are very very small (only 1.5 ounces each).  You might notice in that picture above that Spruce has a strong resemblance to a pear.


This is one of the tiny Khakis taking a tiny nap.  She does not have a name yet.  In fact, none of the ducks have names!  That is because it is up to our trusted clients and partners to name these lovely little gals.  For a little while now, we've been giving away naming rights to the ducks, so it's up to ya'll (you know who you are!) to come up with appropriate titles for these little ones.  We'll have announcements as the names come in.

Past names have included:  Esmerelda, Biggie Smalls, Cuz, Dre, Boot, Elephant, Guillermo (AKA Ghee),  Mo, Frahnck, Cantaloupe, Penelope, and Cayuga Joe.  So as you can see, silly names are encouraged.  These happen to be girl ducks, but we do not require (or even desire) their names to be gender-appropriate.  (Hey, you know what would be a funny name?  Moniker!)

I realized that none of these pictures have a good sense of scale, so I tried to remedy that situation.  However, it turns out that the wee stubborn ones will not really hold still for poses.

I think that we have not yet given away all of our naming rights, so we may hold a contest in the next few weeks to fill out the ranks.  Stay tuned!

P.S.  After I took those pictures, I put that teacup back on the shelf without washing it.  Don't tell Aaron.

We humbly submit the name of Headder (which is really Heather comming from a 2 year old). Please send a picture of the "Adopt a Duck' program.

I think that little Campbell should be called Latte. Because she kinda looks like one, warm and tan and fuzzy-ish.

Hi Dave,We hope the picture is cute enough. We thought the kiwi added a little more scale and fuzziness to the equation.

Rave Review:

"Thank you for your terrific work on my website. I especially appreciated the lessons on how to make changes myself. I now have the pleasure of having a working website that I can work on myself, however I know that both of you are there in case I make those occasional mistakes. Thanks for your professionalism and your accessibility. You guys were great!"
