Hunter mini bud Ducky

Name: Hunter Ducky
Interests: Hunting moose and deer and eating moose sausage.
Where to Find: Chicken Scratch
Brand: Bud 2010
Price: $5.00 Cdn on sale

"Where the ducks and the antelope play." 

Chicken Scratch has a great sale on bud mini rubber duckies right now. Instead of the usual $7.95 each they are $5.00 each, so if you are thinking of stocking up now is the time. They have 1970s DJ Ducky, Hunter Ducky, Paparazzi Ducky, Royal Guard Ducky and Pop Icon Ducky.

Hunter Ducky loves playing with water guns. He has been known to initiate some awesome water fights. His team always wins because he is great at sneaking up on people and hiding. When he isn't having water fights he is out hunting. Red plaid and green plaid shirts are his favourite winter cabin gear. He wears clothes that blend in with the outdoors for hunting.

The really cool thing about this ducky is that he is the second bud ducky I have whose hat comes off. My daughter was playing with him and was quite impressed that his hat comes off. Bikerman mini bud ducky also has a removable hat. I wonder what other bud duckies have removable hats?

*Note: This is my last blog post for August. I am taking a small vacation and break because we sold our house and we’re moving provinces. We have two weeks to pack up our house and move. I also have 2 kids and a bad cold to add to the challenge. :-] See you in September.

Whistle Ducky loves being blown. He has always been a big party animal and insists on being the centre of attention.

Every summer, he goes missing at least 3 times because kids take him and hide him.

Soother Ducky is 4 months old. She has long eyelashes and is wearing a white bonnet. Her purple beak and blue soother match her bib. She is a soother ducky and also likes to suck on the thumb of her wing. It would be even cuter if her webbed feet had little booties on them.

My son is two months old today. He doesn’t like soothers but he likes to suck his thumb.

Twinkle twinkle little star...

I was recently sorting through a lot of old printed photos and I found a picture of me opening Night-Light Ducky on my birthday in 2003.

She also likes to sing nursery rhymes but her all time favourite song is “Twinkle, twinkle little star.”

Loofah Duckies

Name: Loofah Duckies 
Interests: Showering in rainfall styled showers.
Where to Find: Dollarstores
Brand: Varies
Price: $1.00 Cdn each

Who knew there were that many different ducky loofahs.

I have 6 Loofah Duckies. They all love cucumber lime shower gel best. The second loofah from the left in the top row is actually called a pouf. His name is “Wattles the Duck”and he is a trademarked original foamy friend. He was born on December 04, 1997.

The loofah on the top right in the last row is the only loofah that has a rubber ducky attached to it instead of a cloth ducky.Her name is “Doodle Duck” and this is the poem that is on her tag:

“Squeaky clean tu tu’s
enjoy bathtime play
like squirting water,
and water ballet.

Although they like
to steal the scene,
they’re sure to get
you squeaky clean.”

She comes in a kit with a ducky stuck in soap and A ducky holding a toothbrush. The ducky in the box in the first row looks more like a platypus and is called a sponge.

Blue Translucent Ducky

Name: Blue Translucent Ducky
Interests: Berry picking
Where to Find: Don't remember.
Brand: Unknown
Price: $3.95 Cdn
Now you see me and then you don’t.

I have very thin see through skin. If you look closely you can see my organs. I don’t want to brag or anything but I have the coolest job in the world. I am a spy and I am a superhero ducky. If I move my beak a certain way, tap my webbed feet and then flap my wing once, I become invisible. James Pond is my idol.

In the summer, I love picking raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. I am the fasted picker (it helps that no one can see me).

Blue Disco Ducky

Name: Blue Disco Ducky
Interests: Bartending and bowling.
Where to Find: Don't remember.
Brand: Schylling
Price: $7.95 Cdn

Watch out for seizures.

Blue Disco Ducky has quite a few lights in him and is the fastest flashing light ducky that I have. I wouldn't recommend looking at him for long because he is hard on the eyes. He flashes blue and red and it almost looks like he has more than one light inside him. He is a translucent blue so the light is really noticeable. He is quite popular at disco night at the bowling alley. During his Saturday night shift at "The Dive" bar, he lights up while he makes hi-balls and pours shots. He is a more expensive flashing ducky because he has a large round pad on his bottom instead of the typical two metal prong sensors. His head and eyes are shaped a bit like an alien.

Where to Find: Don't remember.

Price: $1.00 Cdn

Fly Death by Ducky 

Fly Swatter Ducky has eyes that roll all around in her head just like cookie monster. She is always looking to the side to look for flies. She is an extra special ducky because she has a long tongue like a frog for eating bugs live but she is also really good at swatting them too.

A lot of my Unknown Brand duckies say Made in China on the bottom. I think most rubber duckies say Made in China on the bottom. I would love to tour a rubber ducky factory one day.

Swiss chocolate is the best.

Swiss National Day Ducky loves chocolate (but of course he only eats Swiss chocolate. He is great at making fondues as well. Swiss National Day was founded in 1891. My friend’s boyfriend is Swiss-Canadian. A few years ago, while they were on Switzerland on vacation visiting his friends and family, they bought me this ducky.
