O'Malley the Snuggle Bug


Thought I would share a few photos of O'Malley snuggling on the couch with me this morning. I don't think I've ever taken good photos of him snuggling before. I'm not sure people believe me when I say he's a total snuggler. So here's proof!

With massages like that, can you blame him??? I'd snuggle too!!

Where's Flapper? Doesn't he snuggle? Or does O'Malley take up all the room???

HOW CUTE!!

Tif, precious picture. Who would think a duck would snuggle like that? I have never been around ducks so I didn't know their personalities until I joined the forum and "met" some of Terry's and then your wonderful gang. O'Malley is really handsome.

You know, Flapper doesn't snuggle as much. He will let me hold him and he gives hugs, but when he comes in the house to sit on the couch, he wants HIS space on HIS blanket. He likes a buffer zone around him. When O'Malley sits on the couch he has to be on my lap or all over me.

Well, one can't say that Flapper doesn't know what he WANTS! Definitely a strong-minded duck!

Hey, then, O'Malley gets all the goodies! Flapper doesn't know what he's missin', eh??

You da BIRD, O'Malley!

Gorgeous pics of O'Malley snuggling! There's nothing better than a birdie to snuggle with on the sofa!

Ohhh .. O'Malley! You are such a wonderful duck! I miss my Mr. Nibbles so much!

Thank you, Tiff, for those wonderful photos!

Thanks for sharing.

Not to steal any of O'Malley's or Flapper's thunder .. ducks can be very, very precious .. this photo just about tore my heart out when I saw it .. http://www.rims.net/ReneeMartin/target6.html

Princess Grace was one of my rescues that Connie came along to give a forever home. Renee Martin happened to be here right then and got the photo. Gracie is so very tame, friendly, and loving ..

I've since had a Christmas card from Gracie, a letter that she dictated to her Mom and enclosed, and a lovely little Beanie Baby to remind me of her.

If you think pigeons are huggable .. you ain't lived until you've hugged a duck or a goose!

That is one cute picture, Terry!

Yes, I, too, like to HUG bigger birds...maybe that's why I'm so attracted to the Giant Runts. Now, there's a pij to HUG!

Squeaks tolerates my hugging and tends to be a "wiggle" pij. Luckily, I can sometimes catch him "in the mood" and get my huggies in...

Ducks would be great but I couldn't have one in my small apartment.

Oh...to cuddle with such a cuddly duck, O'Malley...must be sheer heaven.

Ducks must have different personalities and interests as pigeons do. So "the one and only" Mr. Flapper has different wants and needs...but he looks as huggible and cuddly as O'Malley.

Thanks for sharing the pics, Tiff.



Terry,

That pic is too precious...words can't describe...

Tiff,

Wow, you're right, O'Malley looks like a total snuggle bug in those pictures....so adorable!

Terry, that is such a touching picture of Princess Grace meeting her new mom for the first time.....I bet you teared up when you received your Christmas card and gift from Gracie.....I did, and it didn't even happen to me! LOL

Thanks to both of you for sharing these adorable and touching pictures.

Linda

Princess Grace is such a real princess, Terry. What a lovely lady duck.
I had the pleasure to hug and love a duck for a few months, will never forget, they are the greatest.
