Zeb - The Coolest Guy in GQ

05/03/2023

Love life is just grand! I miss my human friends in the GQ but man, oh man, i got it all now. Deb, and a few others who like to be a bit flirtatious. I’m quite handsome, we all know this. I did want to plug for Arts In The Park at Lake Park in Granite Qaurry, my hometown! Zebs a beauty, isn’t she? Thank you to Dillyah and Laree in getting me to my new life!

Hey GQ, hey! Miss it there tremendously! Not those Farkus boys so much. Loving life here at CWR, the girls, oh the girls! I get to see Dillyah and Laree. I am living the life I was meant to to be. Stay safe and sleep well.

As for me and Deb, things are great! It is so awesome to be surrounded by so many Pekin ducks like me and we all get along so well. Can’t say enough about the girls either! One day, I’ll share pics with you. 😎

Hey GQ, Farkus boys here. Those Canadians, we’re having to draw some lines. We think we can take Maverick, but we have to team up. Scutt likes picking on little Goose, she’s not quite as protective as Maverick. We have to be envious and somewhat jealous at their ability to just fly off at will. They’re amazing to watch.😊Don’t forget to plan on attending Arts in the Park on May 6th! GQ has a lot of other wonderful events going on in the community, so check out our town site. Stay safe and we send loud and big quacks out to Carson, as today was her first day back to work after maternity leave. She nailed it as we all knew she would. “A baby fills a place in your heart that you never knew was empty. —Anonymous” check out our morning and evening sky, gorgeous! 🌿🐓🐓🦃 ❤️

GQ, you have the Farkus’ here tonight to update you on this beautiful Saturday night. We were busy birds, outnumbered by Canadians earlier in the day but we are partial to the three pair. We would really love to have proper signage on feeding guidelines, because a lot of bad stuff and trash food is thrown over the fences. We ducks are brighter than those geese, they literally eat about anything and everything. So for their safety and to keep the bug and ant hills down, larger e signage would go a long way. We have some great community members here in GQvthat would love to help make that happen. Then, shelters that are pleasing to the people, us and don’t disrupt our vista here. We have to keep the fountain happy…if we can make that happen, we can add some more ducks. We will try to be nice and be examples of good leadership. We will try but you know us, can’t promise that. We do miss Zeb and going back, Trapper, Elon, Little Mama, Little Mama 2 (twin), Esther and all our turtles. They are slowly coming out, as are the fish. Our water snake pair are making a few appearances and people enjoy watching them. They are quite fun to watch when they are hunting the goldfish, and just hanging out in the sunshine! Hope to see you all out tomrrow and NO bread, crackers, chips, etc. stay safe! Don’t forget to check out our events her in GQ at https://www.granitequarrync.gov/Community/Events. “What did the duck say after she bought chapstick?
Put it on my bill!” 🌿🐓🐓🦃 ❤️

Events

04/12/2023

Hey GQ, Scutt and Butt here. We still have the page for now, we hear all the chirps, quacks and honks of all the upcoming events here at Lake Park. All we can share for now is Arts in the Park on May 6th, from 1-6 p.m. always a great afternoon here and very unique items to purchase. Mark your calendars. As for us, we’re just stinkin’ bored, no one to pester or harass. Maverick keeps us in check, but Goober Scutt will go after Goose when he’s not watching. That is fun to watch when he gets caught. Waiting and wishing for more ducks, so we can out number the Canadians. There is G & M, now Fred and Ethel. There’s a th*****me wandering over, no names yet but hear whispers about people called the Three Stooges. Moe, Larry and Curlee? What kinda names are those? Humans, they are really confusing to say the least. We ducks, we have the life especially here at Lake Park in GQ. Awesome community, neighbors and the best first responders a town could have. Let’s not forget our town staff and Board and Mayor. We love having them visit so they can meet us, the awesome towns people and daily visitors. BTW, update on Zeb, bitten by the love bug. He’s having to do a brief stay in quarantine and then he will finally meet Deb. Can’t say we’re not slightly jealous, but he deserved it. Stay safe! We will try another joke. “I was addicted to the hokey pokey…but I turned myself around.” 🌿🐓🐓🦃 ❤️

GQ, still have Scutt and Butt Farkus. I’m this Addams family weather is getting quite awful and boring. No one really comes to visit and there’s no one here to pick on and boss around. So ole’ Butt has decided to give me, Scutt a hard time when the neighbor comes to feed us. He keeps running me off and being a piggy duck. Seriously, guess that shows we’re not the team I thought we were. 🙄 Ducks…….So we were reminded that Zeb would post jokes. So we’re learning, so here’s our first shot…..Dont forget Arts in the Park, May 6th! “Hear about the new restaurant called Karma?
There’s no menu: You get what you deserve.” 🌿🐓🐓🦃 ❤️

Hello GQ, Goose and Maverick here, Goose is a girl in this story. Those Farkus’ are at a loss with Zeb gone to meet Deb and find true love. We believe we influenced that decision just a bit. A thing about ducks, they aren’t monogamous, unlike us geese. But rather than explain that to children, we will just say, “forever loves”, as it should be. This is the best place to live and hang out, though we do leave in the evenings to head back to the neighbors pond. We have met and appreciate many humans here and the one duck lady has taken a liking to us and our devotion to each other. We haven’t quite given her the trust of eating from her hand that those silly ducks, but we are thinking about it. Ole’ Scutt and Butt, which came from “the scuttlebutt” and then add Farkus from some movie we heard people talking about. They have quieted down and seem quite bored without that handsome boy, Zeb. Hear he enjoyed a bath and is quite the loving and affectionate boy with the humans. He will be meeting Deb soon and we shall see if the sparks fly or possibly, we may have fireworks. Best wishes to him, but he is truly missed. You can feel some sadness from the neighbor lady, as he was a favorite of many who come regularly and loved his sweetness and personality. It’s a bit different after losing Elon, Cleo leaving and now Zeb flying off to meet Deb. We will take care of things in his absence and all will be well. We will also encourage that you come to Granite Lake Park and meet us and even the Farkus’. Please don’t bring bread, crackers, dog or cat food. Ducks won’t eat it, but we will and it’s quite unhealthy and harmful to our systems, and can be deadly. Stay safe and hope to meet you soon. Arts in the Park coming up on May 6th, please plan on attending, as the young artists and crafters will have their wares for sale. Fun and food, maybe even Firemen. Be safe! Consider donating to either the rescuers or rescue at Carolina Waterfowl Rescue! It’s all volunteer work. 🌿🐓🐓🦃

Hey GQ, it’s the moon here tonight. Missing looking over Zeb, the absolute most handsome duck in all of GQ. He’s been a lonely guy for quite a while, especially since that goofy goose girl Cleo left. He made it through losing Esther last July, then struggle md through his buddy’s death, Elon, (he was a muscovy duck), pretty clever names we have, don’t you think? Have you figured out mine and my girls? No, not Cleo, we were strictly platonic. Then we have the Farkus’, Scutt to begin and Butt by default. There were other females last year, Salt-n-pepper, Little mama, LM2, she was a twinsie to Little Mama, and Trapper, she was obnoxiously loud and reminded the neighbor of her husbands obnoxiously loud dig, hence the name. Be sure to watch this amazing rescue by Dillyah and Laree with 🌿🐓🐓🦃 Little Henry, the young Canadian with the broken leg, was finally rescued. As that was in progress, it was observed by that poor Zeb was still being terribly bullied and harassed by the Farkus’, so they told him all about a girl named Deb at the rescue and he was all in! Hopefully they will keep us updated on their relationship. It was quite bittersweet for many who love Zeb so, but it was the best call for him. Yes, the neighbor smiled through it all, knowing it was the best for Zeb, which is how love works. She shed some sad tears when she showed up tonight and he wasn’t waiting for her, but there are more ducks coming I’ve heard, so who to try and fill those big orange, webbed feet? You’ll have to keep a check on our story as it unfolds. So if you can assist with financial support, please consider 🌿🐓🐓🦃
