[Oh look, it's your favorite girl named Brittany that lives in Asgard.]

Does anyone know what ducks eat? I think this duck I have isn't eating enough. [She holds it up and the poor little baby duck definitely looks a bit... overfed. It's poofy, but not from fuzzy downy coat... but from Brittany feeding it a lot.]

Lord Tubbington ate way more than this and I want Mr. Quacks to grow up big and strong like he was.

Also, I need a veterinarian that can help ducks.

[If only Brittany's vast knowledge of cat disease could give her insight into ducks.]

Oh! And welcome back everyone that survived the violent battle. You missed nothing important. [She looks to Mr. Quacks as if he's telling her something important.] Oh right, except something about a magical strawberry that gives you powers if you don't eat it.

Actually, that one looks like a very ... well fed duck to me.

[ladykisses]

How can you tell? He seems small to me.

[comeonthensexy]

He's very ... round.

[didntbelieve]

...I think you might actually want to consider feeding that duck a little less.

[ladykisses]

He's just fuzzy. [She might be in denial.]

Do you know about ducks?

[ladykisses]

I want him to grow up healthy, though. People always say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

[didntbelieve]

Well, yeah... he just looks like he's getting a bit too much breakfast.

[Or a lot too much breakfast.]

[ladykisses]

[This poor rotund baby duck.]

What if he wants to eat more? He really likes grapes.

[didntbelieve]

Are ducks even supposed to have grapes?

[That doesn't sound like a thing ducks eat. ]

[ladykisses]

You're not supposed to feed them bread. They have tiny stomachs and the bread swells up and takes up too much room. [Take that, all those children that are taught to feed ducks stale bread at the park. It's really not good for them at all.]

I thought fruits and seeds would be the best, but maybe he needs something else. I could try peanut butter. Since he likes grapes.

[womanfromacre]

What on earth have you been feeding that bird? Are you fattening it up for roasting?

[ladykisses]

[She's HORRIFIED!! She also puts her hand gently over the ducks head, hoping that it helps shield him from the awful things.]

He's a duckling not a dinner! I would never eat him.

[womanfromacre]

[And she... is oblivious to the offence caused. Dark ages upbringing and all that.]

Well clearly not right now, you'd scarcely get a mouthful off it, let alone a roast. Far better to continue fattening the bird up as you're doing, you might even get a good fatted liver out of it at the rate you appear to be going. A good onion sauce would be the perfect complement.

[ladykisses]

I won't eat Mr. Quacks! He's my friend. Stop talking about cooking him and he's not fat he's fuzzy.

That duck looks like it's overfed, not under. Good for eatin', but if you're gonna be givin' it a name I doubt you intend to do that.

[ladykisses]

Why does everyone want to eat Mr. Quacks??? He's not for eating!

[barkedlouder]

Didn't say I wanted to eat him, just that he'd be good for it. Besides, that's usually what people do with 'em, isn't it?

[ Anne has really never heard of anyone keeping a duck as a pet. Most people she knows would rather eat it than take care of it. ]

[ladykisses]

People don't eat their pets. Haven't you ever had a pet?

[barkedlouder]

Can't say I have. Can't say I've ever met anyone with a duck for a pet, either.

[womanfromacre]

You do realise that you are talking about poultry, don't you girl? I don't think they have the capacity to recognise camaraderie in a human.

[She sighs.]

Well. Far be it for me to judge your customs, but the fact that your duckling is overfed and not merely 'fuzzy' as you put it is inescapable. What have you been feeding it?

[ladykisses]

I can't get another cat. Lord Tubbington would know.

[ladykisses]

[Those are big words. Big words that Brittany only thinks she knows.]

It imprinted on me.

I think.

I mean, it follows me around. [Waddling all cute and quacking at her.]

I've been feeding him grapes and bird seed, but I think he might need something else, too.

[didntbelieve]

[He actually did not know that and may have been one of those parents who taught his kid feeding ducks bread at the park was good.]

In that case I really don't think you should be trying to feed him as much as a cat. Especially not one called Lord Tubbington.

[Call him judgmental, but that does not sound like a name for a healthy weight cat.]

[ladykisses]

Lord Tubbington figures out his own diet. He orders his food online and it just shows up.

[She sounds dead serious.]

I would just have to put it out for him. I think that's why I'm worried about Mr. Quacks. He's not very good at using the network.

[womanfromacre]

I don't think you need to give it any more than what you've given it. If anything you might need to give it less. Little and often, that's the way to do it. The tenant farmers on my father's land would feed their birds dried wheat, all the grains they did not think fine enough to go into the mill for flour. I would feed him that with cracked corn if you have it, and in small amounts.
