This is the word of the day on my Yahoo! - oddly enough it is absolutely the anthem of the day. For those of you who haven't read Justin today - our dogs got out and broke into the duckling's pen, leaving us only one black duck of the six. It was gruesome, horrible and enraging - the last 24 hours have been filled with what if's - but I have come to the realization that there was nothing more we could do. And now we are left to persevere - to continue on with the dream of our little 2 acre piece of paradise even though it has been really difficult. We will have to get rid of the girls - much as we love them they will not stay in the pen - and $300 in improvements later, they are still escaping - and that just can't continue to happen.

Today I placed the order for another batch of ducklings - and I am anxious for there arrival - coming home the same week as the kids - the goats - and probably a new puppy( anyone have some herding dogs with pups?) Persevere - to keep going even when the day sucks and you want to cry and hide under the covers.
