The World Around You

Open your eyes to the WORLD around you!!!!

As I was leaving work tonight, I noticed a female duck standing in the fountain outside of our building. Instead of going straight to my car for some reason I decided to walk up to it (probably because I've always loved animals). 

She didn't move as I approached, and as I got closer I saw that she was shivering and was trying to quack but nothing was coming out. 

I sat down near her and noticed she had a large gash across her upper breast. With the assistance of Jimmy Tran (thank you for the box and blanket!) I climbed into the fountain and rescued her. 


Thank goodness for the Humane Society! I rushed her to Milpitas center (http://hssv.convio.net/site/PageServer?pagename=updated_home) and they're keeping her overnight, if she's stable in the morning they will attempt to save her.

No creature is too small or obscure, if you notice someone/thing in need - go with your gut, help it.

I'll be checking in on our little duck friend tomorrow. Cross your fingers and send some good thoughts.
