I'm so excited to have my very own followers on my very own blog. Lots of ducks aren't as lucky as me.<br /><br />I realized in my first post that I didn't put the link to my cat Buddy's blog, the <a href="http://2carolinacats.blogspot.com/">Carolina Cats</a>. It used to be the 2 Carolina Cats, but then the mom bean adopted another kitty named Jazzy. And then, the mom and all the kitties moved in with the mom's sister (Ant Marjie) and the horsey girl, Jackie.<br /><br />That's where the woofie and the Cuzzin kitties and horsies come in!<br /><br />This farm is a really cool place for animals and peoples. There are lots of chores to do, so I told Buddy right away that I'm a hard-working duck and I would be happy to help out. <div align="center"><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410791160337386498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGuUH29cRoQRo0noINElJFJcCm6KjrMS5lV7KcoHEaYd3LmGhcx9iOuYrbfwuq4qRa-Azztq1ugQk055V4XSEPWeSwoiVF1hHYxawy_Fybw97Jrgh4ApCL7xOSDI_sq7QiPPouku8cINg/s320/DSCN1499.JPG" border="0" /> First, I swept the porch of the horsey girl's cottage... <div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410779341455232290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjC7b-S3X05QMwWFu1kSulXwy1o0icfErxbWRrx1dwmWxUqMlCByo7L3Nz5LOSN7z7iLqs2oLGZj4CM-yBIvQF59BzM62eNdwEJTdUKRiEhv-5ax97AB_3v7tDwg43ISs1qsxl66raza4/s320/DSCN1494.JPG" border="0" /></div><div align="center">...then I helped Ant Marjie mow the field...</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410779335590656674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinJnZz4RkDAvmbHF-Jv0P6_B9oCYro8WsAyputGrRxpgyAA6IUOUfBEmPzMmsGCgBwxuAe9d21w_xZTCwo2sexg6xROU7SLk-LqSKZAyd8NlCbCwPDQAAJVMornq7oMv7LpAAhXKUZ3Ws/s320/DSCN1512.JPG" border="0" />...then I jumped into some wellies so I wouldn't get my feet dirty and headed to the barn!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410779794010670098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihN0lvGTPNHTuWamqCmBGVqjnIAfyI43lHfilx88eNixNUueHtIfjl77cD8jAcwxN5gfu0IKjV2fpg2GXFkaOwBWMTIGKFIIvExSk2tLsbNOKzZRv5iGfinBd0o3fmMVEWUCNlqW_tAE4/s320/DSCN1509.JPG" border="0" />I mucked out Max' stall all by myself! </div><div align="center"><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410779788845808594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdof6sCYYNgH7Guj_cp3uzouTNLqmQXjXAYmtTMIQ0_jqt7ALqaHL7ml8TKh2C11_Mg6fk1-Nz2BzLlflCHZTgeQTGYLQVbn1XnWZ9RfHJBocOS0Ay6J5SbT1OiC9CDXOxPUUORu0d94I/s320/DSCN1508.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center">...took the muckings out to the field and dumped it out...</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410779802119758818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRgrBZQ2RSfDz5v3HyfdIiV3Umv_q4rvHxJvuLwxQGEIGMOVizW7ys0EZUhQXamWjslLt7wgoeN6fYZT_AAVYR-eaYnUFbbUhSXDNlOqVVDJYj6quxxFwPRBybDs4WszAvdp8iVK4QMAI/s320/DSCN1514.JPG" border="0" />...then I put some nice fresh wood shavings and straw down in the stalls for the horsies.</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410779806698543922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYZSNLGALxMkewqegANOcKpn8I3iJ8UvcuO6fUbuT78GxuQTifMQCS1Fs_W5kcv1mMPJf-iKUbBnRKvnfWOET0PkRT6MWHg_Z6GAFgNAirtzYvkXQLAub0ZPNnkmYfj7lE-4Th5PIBKhE/s320/DSCN1510.JPG" border="0" /></p></div><p>Finally, I was finished with my chores!!

I am Gloria the Duck.<br /><br />When my cousin <a href="http://georgetheduck.com/">George the Duck</a> offered me the opportunity to travel, I was thrilled. I didn't ask who I'd be visiting or where I'd be going, I just jumped in the plane, buckled up and got ready to fly.<br /><br />I was so excited when I arrived at my destination. My airplane was opened and I met my new family. I have my very own cat, just like Cousin George! My cat's name is Buddy Longwhiskers. He is one of the Carolina Cats. They live in Bahama, North Carolina. It is not very far from Richmond, VA, where Cousin George lives with his cat <a href="http://catsnmom.blogspot.com/search/label/George">Sanjee</a> and his typist. </div><div align="left"><br />Right away, Buddy took me on a tour of my new home.
