(continued from page 12) as my eyes quickly swept the room, desperately searching for a means of escape. Again and again I called for help, but I was cut off – trapped with an unholy monster bent on my destruction. Every second counted now; the incessant lunging of the beast left me no time to think. It would take only one errant step, one moment’s hesitation, to seal my fate forever…
Real-Life True Tales of Survival!

Whoa! Duckling RELENTLESSNESS!
Git ‘im, duckie!
Ducklings are SO brave!!
O.M.G. The cuteness! Probably all the dogs hearing this are going wild!
I feel dizzzzzzzyyyyyyyy…. *swoon*
*wonders how many times people have fainted from cuteness*
*tries to not feel dizzy*
*faint*
Peppermint Mouse is NOT my evil twin. We’re the same person, logged in/out of Gravatar.
*falls back on floor*
Ducktales.
WTF? Is the duckling imprinting on the dog or something? Sheesh, dog seems distressed.
Yeah, the duckling seems to have imprinted onto the dog.
Bad ownership decision, number one….
Dog seems distressed? If the duckling wasn’t scared for its life it wouldn’t be chasing the dog in the first place.
Yeah, this seems like a bad scenario all the way around. I just hope the end of the video wasn’t edited to remove the part where the dog finally puts an end to the duckling’s mania. Did. Not. Like.
Hahahahahah. Like a peep cyborg machine, unrelenting!
I loved when my chicken used to act a tough like that. Aw I miss cuddling my chicken now, with her content bagaww sounds.. Fowl friends.
My Ducklett pwns your Lillipup!
YES!!! I second this reference!
WIN.
Would you believe that I am playing that at this very moment? xD
Duck: mommy! Mommy!
Dog: what r u?! Get away from me. Get away from meeeeee!!!!
Haha. Poor doggie!
Persistent ducky is persistent.
Duck: “Mommy, come back, I love you!”
Dog: “I’m not your mommy, you little quacker!!”
Well you do know it is a duck eat dog world out there.
*groan* LOL
Patriotic duckling is exercising his constitutional rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of yappiness.
YAP!
I see why everyone loves you on here! Yappiness indeed!!
At .07, after the pup lost his/her focus–what, wait, how did you get under me?
Hahahaha! I read it first, and then hit the play button. Of course, I was fooled by NOMTOM–it’s not first person duckling, it’s first person puppy!!!! Oh, was that a spoiler alert? Sorry.
hahahaha! Me too!
Me three!!!
Me four! Brilliant copy set-up! So cute.
I didn’t see the note to turn down/off the speakers, and ended up getting this in stereo. I guess that means that maybe I should check my house for ducklings.
Six months later . . .
Very different interaction. Duck here may be stressed, but dog is playing. I don’t know enough about ducks to know if duck is playing, too, but the vibe here suggests it is.
I suppose the ducks would be much more noisy, and that they would be flapping their wings, if they were really stressed out about defending their territory. Considering their positioning, they do seem to protect the area, but from the video description (i.e., same keeper), they have probably been knowing each other for some time, and while maybe not really a game for the ducks, it seems only to be some simple low-tension area control behavior.
Theresa – I think you live IN the internet. HOW do you always have these perfect references?? I’m going to start calling you Tronesa from now on.
There’s a “why did the chicken cross the road” reference in here somewhere…
Good one i laughed for 1:19 straight.
Sounds like a Twighlight Zone episode. His worse fear happens…his squeaky toy comes to life to exact revenge. Or something like that.
I am shocked and appalled that the person with the camera did not intervene! That puppy could have been badly hurt!!!
shocked and appalled? you’ll have to choose just one if you want to keep playing.
What about the old Claude Rains “shocked! SHOCKED!” or as we call it for short, “Schocked2.”
Aw crap, that HTML tag didn’t work.
LOL, poor little duckling! “Momma? Why do you keep running away and making those loud noises? MOMMA! Stand STILL!” When I was little, we got a couple of baby ducks and they imprinted on our spaniel mix. If he was in the yard and the babies lost sight of him, they would start peeping and you could see him stop, sigh, then turn around to go get them! LOL Mac was so patient with them!
Awww!
I ditto that AWWWWWW.
I think I’ve translated the Duck’s horrible taunting.
“Bath! Bath! Must have Duckie for the BATH!”
:shudder:
The horror…
Wish I’d seen that hovertext warning before watching!!! Yikes.
Poor doggie being chased by that evil monster. I hope he survived.
This story needs HON GLAD- has he been around? and Bertha Servant- has he been around?
i think GB is on total lockdown right now.
I shall summon BerthaServant.
I have been summoned!
….(continued from page 18)….years from now, I would wake up in the middle of the night with the sound of that incessant shreeping ringing in my ear. Magnified by my subconscious, in dreams the sound resonates like nails on a chalkboard and a drunk sorority girl butchering Mariah Carey on karaoke night…I wake up in a sweat, gasping for air, yellow spots dancing in front of me and taunting me until the cool evening breeze washes over me and I remember….it’s over now….over….
W O W !
Heh!
yay! hi berthaserve!
Yes, fowl are not to be trifled with. My cousin (he was still little then, maybe 10) went to play by a pond. What we did not know was that there were swans with cygnets. One swan felt threatened, attacked and broke my cousin’s arm. Mind the fowl is all I’m sayin’.
Swans are badasses.
remember when the New Jersey Swans beat the San Jose Sharks? seriously badass.
“GROAN”
Looks like the duck thinks the dog is its mother and is just trying to do what ducks do–follow the mama duck. That’s going to be one messed up and confused bird when its fully grown, and that’s not the kind of duck you want roaming around your house. Good luck with that.
I don’t see why. When he grows up and goes to college, he won’t want to be seen around his momma anyway.
When he goes to junior high, you mean.
These days, it starts in middle school…..
lol!
LOL…laughed til I squeed…
Interspecies opera… Not sure who gets the prize for the high note!
When I saw continued from page 12, I knew it was Mike. Who apparently has a theme going this week.
Weren’t we going to have a “Why yes they’re adopted not that it’s any of your business” tag at some point?
Don’t mess with ducks. They will f@#k you up!
They will cut a b!@#.
so…what we’re sayin’ here, is that
Kathy Griffin/ Griffiths is a DUCK?????
(“She turned me into a NEWT!!!”)
“A newt?”
“I got betta”
LOL Man I haven’t seen that movie in like…well…like maybe 3 days/ *runs and grabs the DVD”
What’s your favourite colour?
There are some who call me . . . Tim.”
Bring out the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Pie Jesu Domine . . . Dona eis requiem *WHAM*
Love ducklings….love terriers….don’t think they’re always a good mix. I can see harassed terrier getting fed up, duckling getting too close and SNAP!
Yeah, I hate to be nuffin’, but I kinda felt sorry for the little duck. He/she just wanted to be near (what was perceived as) mom.
The yappin’ dog was hurtin’ MY ears (and even the video came with a ‘turn down speakers’ warning, can’t imagine how the duckling felt. Was worrying the whole time wondering when the dog would give fed up/brave enough to grab duckie in teeth and give him a terrier rat-neck-snappin’ shake.
I was tellin’ the screen: “Give me that baby duck! I’LL love him if you people don’t want to!”
Separate? Cute. Together? Not so much.
I guess I’m in moderation because the word, “nuffin” was in my post?
you win.
nearly every single nuffinton post starts with “i hate to be a nuffer but…”
I was reading through to see if anyone felt like I do. I’m relieved to see like minds! Even a playful nip from a well-meaning dog or cat can spell disaster for a bird or a rodent, and it can happen in a split second. It would take lightning-fast reflexes to intervene, which is not likely when you are five or six feet above the situation, holding a camera. This Public Service Announcement is complete, you may now return to your regularly-scheduled squee-fest.
Ducklings – terrible in their wrath.
I just want that floor.
Definitely. I kept wondering what type of flooring that was…
A scratched up one
Poor dog. Obviously not allowed on the furniture, and not a word of comfort or assurance from it’s owner.
Would you do this with a dog and a toddler? With the toddler running scared and the dog out of control?
Cute, but my stomach hurts.
Yes, I love to see children in abject terror almost as much as I love to see cute ducklings. It warms the cockles of my withered black heart.
are you mocking the black-hearted? how could you?! i have many black-hearted friends who would give their right arms for a cockle!
erm….. (blushes)
Funny for about 5 seconds.
Been there, done that, but with a chick and a pom.
Same difference.
Ok, now I know my eyes are tired… Gigi, I read your post and first thought “a chick and porn? What the….??” LOL I had to read it again to realize you meant a POM pooch!! Maybe it’s closer to bedtime than I thought?
Oh lordy, me too. chicken and porn. Yeesh.
Yep, I read chick and porn also.
Fried chicken and porn. Orgasmically delicious.
My cat really enjoyed watching this one!
so did mine! riveted…
omg – @ 41 seconds when poor puppeh does a faceplant. So cute and so sad!
Did you notice that the duckling stopped and waited for him to get back up? Now THAT’s luuuuvvvv….
This just goes ta show ya, it’s not the size of the duck in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the duck…
I watched this through the end because I was hoping the little duckling and the doggie would become friends and ….. nothing. Sniffle.
Duckling PWNED!!!
MommyMommyMommyMommyMommyMommyMommy ad infinitum…
That dogs like, “WTF?! WTF?!?! Are you gonna do something about this?”
Watch your mouf!
(That’s my CO catchphrase. I never mean to be mean.)
I wish I could find out how this ends. Does the dog ever accept the duckling?
Wow. One snap and that duckling is a goner. Bad decision.
I agree. Little duckling must be stressed not having its mother. This isn’t cute.
Alpha duckling is asserting hisself.
It did end rather abruptly…..I hope the little guy lived to fight another day. And that Pupkins got a reassuring hug……???
That duck runs on DURACELL!
I wonder who ran out of steam first in the end? I bet the doggie did.
PS: Had to turn off the sound after 30secs – that yip-yip barking really hurt my ears! I hope they don´t have any neighbours….
Cute, but about 45 seconds too long!
Bad parents! Poor doggy… I wouldn’t have been surprised if that little chick got its neck chomped.
I did chuckle at the face-plant though!
I’ll snuggle you little duckie!
DUCKIE POWERRRRRRR
I don’t know who was more distressed by this; the dog, the duckling or me. Not funny or cute.
This is humorous but kind of sad, as although the duck must be worn out, he really can’t stop for fear of being killed by the dog.
Oh my gosh! I’m exhausted as I’m sure they are too.
