New Family Members

The Maurice Ducks have gained some awesome new brothers and sisters from a close friend.



Here are the literary rubber ducks. Always studying, these are the ducks to go to with a question or a problem.



These space rubber ducks are filled with knowledge about the earth and beyond. Hit them up for a rocketship ride!




Dessert rubber ducks love whipping up a sweet treat for any occasion. Their specialties are cupcakes and donuts.



Known as the Dynamic Duo, these villainous ducks love creating mischief and mayhem with their sidekick. Steer clear from them unless you are hoping for a visit to the rubber duck jail.

Busy Little Ducks

All of the duckies here feel so bad! They have been very busy this week getting ready for the school year.

Everything from lesson planning,



to decorating;



from technology issues,



to minor construction work.



But it's the weekend and the ducks are finally ready to kick back and relax! And maybe have a treat.




Happy Friday from all of Maurice's Ducks!

Who Knew?



Today I learned that rubber ducks and Spartans are the very best of friends. So much so, in fact, that Master Chief has a rubber duck of his own. Occasionally he will ride it into battle.

Brand New Start

Today was the first day of the school year.




Safari Scott was ready to rumble! This bag is packed with pens, notebooks, a planner, and treats! And of course water is the most important thing to fuel a day with.




Scotti also got some great tips on classroom management. Hopefully they are effective!

A Mystery Solved

Sherlock and Dr. O.J. Patterson came to a conclusion about Betty's murder a few days ago, but they were so shocked with the results they had to test and retest before an announcement could be made. Finally, when they had undeniable, irrefutable evidence, Sherlock called everyone together for a meeting.
The ducks have gathered for an important meeting. 

The doctor and detective duo began to explain the mystery to all.

Betty went out with her friends Billy, Jack, Frenchy, Martha and Frank. Soon after arriving at the party, Billy had to leave. Martha and Frank were busy being a couple, so Betty, Jack, and Frenchy spent a lot of the night together. They did some dancing and had some refreshments. Martha and Frank joined them for a bit, then the group split up. Frenchy and Betty were going to have a sleep over, they couldn't stop talking about it.

This is where things got a little muggy for Sherlock. Since Frenchy refused to cooperate, the detective had to piece together everything. From what he could gather, Frenchy and Betty left the party and headed into town in search of a little more fun before hitting the hay. While walking around, the girls apparently ran into some "unfriendlies", and Frenchy took off. Betty either didn't follow or was too slow, because Frenchy didn't see her again. 

Martha was so upset, because she feels had she spent the night with Frenchy and Betty, the ladies would not have ran into trouble. She essentially blamed herself and would not be convinced otherwise. Which is why she was PISSED when Sherlock announced that Betty was, in fact, quite alive.



Here she is, alive and well.
Yes, you read that right. Here she is, alive and well. Now you must be wondering how on earth Dr. Patterson examined a dead body if there was none? Well, in the world of ducks, rubber ducks get along with zombie ducks (also known as dead ducks and devil ducks) in a tentative friendship. But occasionally, zombie ducks like to play a "prank" on rubber ducks. These pranks are designed more to remind everyone that zombie ducks are still around and less to be funny.
For this particular "prank" the zombie ducks approached Betty and Frenchy, and Betty eagerly agreed to be part of their little plan. She gave the zombie ducks all of her identifying information. Since rubber ducks do not have DNA, all  they had to identify Betty was her stuff. They just had to give it to one of their ducks, and place them where Betty was last seen. To make sure the zombie replacement stayed "dead", she took a heavy duty sleeping medication that lasted for several days.
Sherlock and Dr. Patterson questioning the zombie duck.

The zombies did not account for Dr. Patterson's excellent knowledge of the rubber duck body. He soon realized that he was not looking at a rubber duck, but a zombie duck. When Sherlock couldn't get any answers from Frenchy, he assumed something was up. Since they are notorious for their little reminders, Sherlock assumed zombies were involved.  He told Dr. Patterson who used an anti sleep serum to wake up the zombie and get some answers. 

Chaos and outrage after the announcement.
Many of the rubber ducks are outraged with Betty. How could she do this to them? However, most are relieved that there is not a murderer among them. Betty mean while feels awful for the trouble she called and is on probation until further notice. Since zombie ducks are technically their own community, all Sherlock could do was to ask them to please play less traumatizing pranks.

A Distraction

The duckies are all debating over what happened to their friend. Tomorrow will be the memorial service for dear Betty, and hopefully the reveal of what happened. Sherlock and Dr. Patterson have been conferring and seem to have come to a conclusion and finished the investigation.

In the mean time, the ducks went out to visit Pet Smart today. They found one of their friends has found a home amongst slightly furrier companions.



Doesn't he look regal?
