Whether there is or not, this feathered fowl at the David and Pam Pederson home in Castle Dale has made room for himself, and in the process, he has proven to be compatible with family and family pets. The duck came to the Pederson children last Easter as part of a package deal which included another fuzzy fowl. Fuzzy one survived; fuzzy two didnt. The children named the duck Donald probably which has resulted in a lot of the first day of school when Donald chased him up the street, flapping his wings and making duck noises.

Her brother Chad, 6, said that Donald likes to flap his wings and chase kids. He also bites at em, Chad says, but he adds that the duck doesn't bite mean, only friendly. That wasnt so easy to explain to a neighborhood pal who was on his way to kindergarten on Another game that Donald enjoys is waddling between the legs of family members as they walk around outside.

This little pecker has tripped up more unsuspecting Pedersons than a rumpled rug. Mrs. in Pederson, all seriousness, claims that the duck has chased away would-b- e burglars. She said that one time a great flapping of wings and quacking of quacker stirred the serenity of the evening for no apparent reason.

Fenner, however, accepted the splashing and nudged his doggie dish out of splash range. By the way, Donald has shown no interest in the dog food itself; actually, he Not only is Donald a watch duck, he is a friend to the other Pederson pets. The dog Fenner tolerates Donald much like grandparents tolerate obnoxious grand kids. However, watching the two together, the duck seems to bring out the lost youth in Fenner who enjoys ployment programs. These programs will be planned and directed by local Private Industry Councils (PICs) and chief elected officials.

Not only did the new Mountain Man village draw thousands of curious Utahns; it also won a sweepstakes award for best exhibit at the fair.
