Yesterday i went to a school market, and made a single purchase - a beautiful wooden duck. There were four ducks of that size on the table, and i chose this one as it looked a little sad. Its head was turned away from the others. It was shy, and i knew that it was the one i wanted. So i handed over my $2 and picked up my duck. Today i carried my duck with me everywhere, showing many people. Some people were as excited as i was, yet somehow people did not have the same enthusiasm towards my duck as i.
i'm getting the feeling that Hubert is a little jealous of duck. Hubert has stayed in my pocket all day, of course, yet i have been especially excited about my duck. i keep quietly telling Hubert that duck is just a novelty and it'll wear off. Still unsure as to whether he believes me.
These are the photos from Hubert and duck's first meeting, which took place this afternoon. i feel that Hubert may warm up to the idea of my duck. i left them alone for half an hour and they hadn't bitten each other's heads off yet. i guess that's always a good sign. Perhaps it will be good for Hubert to have friends his own size. Duck is only a little bigger than Hubert, after all.
i am still deciding on duck's name, and it is rather bothering me. i cannot keep referring to him/her as 'duck'.
