The duck our dog ate was white. :) (Nothing like coming home to a
large pile of white feathers in the yard.)
Mallards are really cool ducks. There was a pair of wild ones on our
street at one point. The neighbor girl (whose duck *didn't* become dog
chow, unlike her brother's) named them Joseph and Patricia. We liked
that there were mallards so close.
(The white duck our dog ate was named Lemonade, because he was a little
yellow thing as a hatchling.)
