It's like having tenderness itself resting in your palm.

It's a simple thing but I highly recommend it if the opportunity ever arises.
Well in spite of MA having a total hormone meltdown I was wondering...Is it safe to hold a duckling? I've read some species will reject an offspring if it has a contaminate smell ie human

I just love tickling MA with the old feather when he's lying on his back with all paws in the air
