Transcript:
Pig: Hey there, Dinky Duckling. How come you're not with your mother? Duckling: I can't find her. I"m starting to think she's abandoned me. Pig: Why would you say such a thing? Duckling: I found this note. Pig: I'd call that pretty vague. Duckling: Yeah. She just threw it at me and ran. I abandoned you.

Maybe she forgot to add “…but I’ll be back.”

Don’t give up hope, Dinky; just say the secret word and she’ll come down from the ceiling and give you a hundred dollars.

More like a vagary, Pig.

She ran? She’s a duck! Maybe she waddled quickly.

Yeah, I guess it is kinda vauge. After all maybe she thought you were one of your siblings, Dinky. That note could have been meant for Blinky, Pinky, Inky, or Clyde. After all, you all look alike to her, especially when blue.

Where is Guard Duck?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to write, “I am abandoning you”?

Sarah Plain … maybe she wanted to be clear. “I did it; it’s a done deal, ducky dear.”
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 12 years ago
Meanwhile, I’m not surprised Pig thinks it’s vague. Don’t forget, to poor sweet Piggy, everything is vague.
Varnes over 12 years ago
She ducked out on him?
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
Pig has a point, sort of. The note seems not to have Dinky’s name on it, so maybe it wasn’t really meant for him….(See? I can grasp at straws, too!)

It’s jest natural, Dinky comes from a long line of ducks, in fact ducks run in his family . . . ☻

I guess thats how Guard Duck had his childhood.
starlilies over 12 years ago
Maybe Guard Duck is his father and can hang with him….

Maybe she forgot to also write “unless you run with me…..but you are too dumb to realize to do so”

I’m told that mother ducks are like this. Apparently wildlife rescue services always release rescued ducklings first because if they release Mom first she will just fly away and leave the kids.

Well the mother is missing out on raising a cute little baby duck.

LGD will take him under his wing and teach him the finer arts of war.

If Lio can adopt a squidling, then Pig can adopt a duckling.
Potrzebie over 12 years ago
Can’t be Guard Duck’s offspring. He once fell in love and the female had to migrate leaving him heartbroken.
Logical Duck over 12 years ago
The duckling is feeling a little down.

I’m thinking Pig’s Mother’s note was far more specific
