Dog acts as mum to nine ducklings

Lovable Labrador dog Fred is acting as an unlikely “mum” to nine orphaned ducklings at a heritage attraction in Essex.

Staff at Mountfitchet Castle in Stansted were very worried when the mother duck disappeared last week, and the youngsters were found waddling around the castle grounds alone.

However, 10-year-old Fred immediately took to them and has been acting as a stand-in parent ever since.

The ducklings adore him, and they are now getting very mischievous, even hitching a ride on his back and following him in to the water for a swim in the castle moat.

Castle manager Jeremy Goldsmith said, “He has always been very gentle. The ducklings are all in our house at the moment and he is very good with them.

“We have a lot of rescued animals, including deer, goats, chickens and peacocks. We have all the domestic fowl that would have been here in Norman times.”

The castle and Norman Village of 1066 are open daily from 10am to 5pm.

Brits seem to have trouble separating the Labrador Retrievers of Canada from the Golden Retrievers of Scotland.

Good boy, Fred.:comfort:

I would have said that Fred is a stupid dog name, but I had a cat named Bill, so...:neutral:

Angie got knocked up again. She had 4 and 3 died. Poor things didn't look right and she wouldn't take care of them. This one fat bugger is taken care of. I had to take the puppy outside so she would go out.

Right now his name is Jack after my father. Of course whoever gets him can name him what they wish. I usually reel off names to an animal until they respond then thats their name.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7a641aa594.jpg

You do know what causes this, right?

That's right, she needs a tv in her bedroom.

Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser! Pow, right in the kisser!

Ok, he missed the kisser. But, it's a 3-legged bulldog, allowances have to be made.

He looks happy to me. Handsome fella and the can opener is not bad looking just a little hairy.

I took them to the vet and all is good. He gave a special for fixing the dogs. Females is 85 and males 65. If all three go on the same day then he will do them for 150. They have to have rabies tags. I take them on $5 day at the pound.

Did you ever try to go somewhere with 2 dogs and 6 cats? The dogs were fine. Finally got a ride in the truck. The cats were in carriers in the bed.

The vet did the dogs then I started bringing 2 cats in at a time. The 3rd trip the vet said how many cats do you have? This is it.haha.

baby animals are cute.

They get stuck in my teeth a lot, though.
