Fur and feathers, flock together.
Binge-worthy Instagram feeds to follow
IIf, like many of us, you often find yourself accidentally scrolling through social media for hours a time fawning at dogs, cats and other lovable critters, it might be time to start following Pam Ishiguro from Orange
County, California, and her brood. “Embrace diversity,” quips the description of her instagram account @duckmakesgreatpets, and diversity is exactly what she gamely embraced in her house of fluff and fur - Pam is a proud human to a grand total of two dogs and eight ducks in her household.
As far as great friendships go, we are pretty jealous of the superb bond between her jolly golden retriever Barclay and the flock of eight ducks. Not even Pam herself could have anticipated the amount of cacophonous love that was about to enter the house when she posted an image of her duck eggs finally hatching back in October 2016. Barclay soon started frequenting the hatch and struck up an unlikely relationship with his feathered brothers and sisters. While alpha duck Rudy first chased Barclay away anytime he tried to approach any ducks in the group, they soon grew to trust each other. In owner Pam’s words, “When they are together, somebody is always chasing or jumping on someone else, but when they are apart, they’re always calling for each other.” Aww.
Unbeknownst to some followers, Pam actually has a second dog Izzy - a chihuahua and terrier cross-breed - who has never been such friendly terms with the ducks. Goes to show that the affection between Barclay and Rudy is really as unconventional and precious as they come!
