Sssssssssshhhh!

Hush little goslingk, close your caps,

Mama’s going let you nap on her back

And if your bill should quiver and quack,

We’ll know you’re dreaming of sleeping in a rack.

*gasps* overcome with the cuteness!

2 JohnnieCanuck 10.11.08 at 9:04 pm

‘her’ back?

3 GeorgiaGirl 10.11.08 at 9:05 pm

Whoa. Couldn’t figure out what I was looking at there for a second.

4 posey 10.11.08 at 9:06 pm

The baby has fuzzy eyelids! I suggest a new rule of cuteness!

5 AmyJ 10.11.08 at 9:11 pm

Transgendered duck parent?

That does look like a comfy back, and little duckbaby looks so peaceful. Obviously totally oblivious to the economic news, lucky duck! My rack is ready, sweet little dude!

6 AmyJ 10.11.08 at 9:12 pm

Ok, goose parent, goosebaby, lucky goose! I guess I need to read more carefully.

11 chicklet 10.11.08 at 9:45 pm

This is one of those pictures that made me gasp from the intensity of its cuteness and beauty. I’m utterly speechless. Simply perfect.

12 binky-mama 10.11.08 at 9:49 pm

I love how birdie eye capsules close from the bottom up!

13 fillyjonk 10.11.08 at 10:19 pm

I actually reached up and touched the monitor. I couldn’t resist. I wish I could feel the fuzzy gosling.

Unfortunately, the Internet is not yet the Interpet.

When ducks are awake, they honk.

When ducks are asleep, they honk-shu.

Makes ya think, dunnit?

15 Kiki 10.11.08 at 11:05 pm

OMG! Could someone clean my computer screen, my head just asploded.

16 Jill-e-b 10.11.08 at 11:08 pm

17 Shannon 10.11.08 at 11:30 pm

Y’all are killing me again–or at least what’s left of me after the gosling’s cuteness.

22 chanpon 10.12.08 at 2:10 am

Cutest of closed capsules! I love ‘em.

Does this remind anyone else of Little May sleeping on the giant Totoro’s chest in My Neighbor Totoro?

23 Tabitha (From Single to Married) 10.12.08 at 2:16 am

Oh my goodness – I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a furry baby duck up close!

24 Elm City Gal 10.12.08 at 2:20 am

25 Tryna Merriman 10.12.08 at 2:20 am
