I currently have ducks…

Mornings are sublime on certain days as at least 3 times a week they will come sit with me during my morning coffee.

After cleaning and preening they settle in, nestle their heads under a wing and sleep just a foot from me.

I’ve had experiences with dolphins, chimps and horses that gave me that same feeling he must have had…

Am I dreaming?
