Kerri, welcome to Pet Talk. You have instantly made a lot of friends who are very caring and helpful.

I have never been to Australia, however, I have some dear friends who just returned and they could only rave about your country and especially how they were treated after 9/11.

We hear about many additions to our families, but usually they are four legged. It sure is fun to hear about a brand new two legger. Hmmm, just started to think about how many legs your ducklings have, because I was referring to your son.

I don't know a thing about ducklings, however, the advice to try Google is excellent. I always can find answers for just about everything there.

Again, welcome and thank you for your kind words. Our countries are huge, but the recent events have brought us together in a common cause for good and peace.
