Tiff, what a great memorial to Georgie!
You did such a great job with all the pictures. I remember when Georgie came to the “back yard”, she was so beautiful and quiet, shy maybe, then she blossomed into a beautiful friend for Flappers and a mother to Bingo Baloo, Miss Murphy and Kozmo Kirby. Later she was a friend to Phoebe Kay and Petunia Peach. She is up in duck heaven and happy rulling over all and waiting on Flapper. Thanks for all you do and will do for your “back yard family). I love (mostly) your stories and pictures.

What a beautiful tribute. Miss Georgie we all miss you. I know you are sending duck love to your Momma. I DO believe there is a Duck Heaven, I DO believe that one day will we all see our feathered, furry, winged, scaled family members again. I could not live thinking otherwise.

*hugs*

I miss her and barely knew her. You were the best Mom a duck could have asked for and you made her life as wonderful as she made yours. I loved the card and believe Georgie is now with her children.

Wonderful memorial, Tiff! Georgie was a beautiful duck in both body and spirit. Her snowy white feathers really set of that ’scovy mask!

Tiff, I know the awful pain and regret; I hope you can find comfort over time. Georgie was beautiful and through your stories, we all got to know her regal-ness. She was very loved and I’m sure she knew it and enjoyed her life immensely. It was terribly, horribly sad to lose her but she lived such a high quality life. Being locked in her pen every day may have kept her alive longer but it wouldn’t have been the right life for her – you were not to blame, you were not careless, it was a surprising event and none of us could foresee it. Look at Georgie’s pictures and love her all over again, then be kind to yourself and try to heal. You are a good person, a good duck mom; sometimes bad things happen to good ducks and good duck moms. We have to grieve, decide what to do going forward, and then do it. Sending you hopes for comfort and peace.

I can’t tell you how sad I am right now. I’ve been in a sort of funk since I saw the raccoon attack on FlapperCam. Don’t feel bad for me, Tiff–I could have turned away. I just wanted so much to stop the attack, to reach into the screen and pull Toonie and Georgie to safety. Irrational, I know.

Thanks for this tribute. It provides some closure. I’ll never forget beautiful Georgie. She’s in a good place now.

Lisa, the card is beautiful.

Pansy, the Rest in Peas was used by a dear friend of Tiff’s when Kozmo passed away, I only borrowed it because I liked it so much and it somehow takes off the sharp edges of this tragedy (I hope).
