Slogan for the picture:

This ducky has been on my list for a while, so my daughter and I were both super excited when we spotted it today. I love that so many trendy stores on Whyte Avenue have Rubba ducks again. I checked in Mars and Venus for rubber ducks today and they had a great selection of Celebriducks.

Merduck has a clam shell, starfish and a sand dollar in her hair. It’s too bad that starfish are so rare these days because we used to see them in the ocean all the time and now it’s so rare that I see them.

Save the Starfish

“Sorry Charley,

I wanted to take a picture of this ducky floating in the pool in the building my Grandma used to live in before she passed away. However, the pool was closed so I wasn’t able to do that. However, I still stood him up on the ledge. This ducky has what at first I thought was a grenade around his neck but it is actually a whistle I believe.

It’s hunting season.

“In no danger, Rick.

I haven’t seen Rubba Ducks for many years and the only ducks that I have seen are way too expensive on eBay and Amazon Hero Ducky is quite expensive. However, it looks like they have a new website now that actually works (rubbaducks.com) hasn’t worked for years, but rubbaducks.net works and is shown on the next snazzy packaging.This means I might be able to complete my perimeter top shelf of being all Rubba Ducks!

I share a favourite number of 13 with Hero.

Twin Babies

I’ve always thought it would be so cool to be a twin or have twins. The Blue Baby and Pink Baby ducks are twins and were born on August 23. The Pink Ducky has a blue heart on her bum and the Blue Ducky has a pink heart on his bum. They both have turquoise eyes and green soothers in their beaks. The Baby Pink ducky was born a minute before the Baby Blue Ducky so she is technically older. Since they are twins and share everything, they also share the same poem.

Poem on their tags:

“Loves to cuddle
when it comes to baby.

Pink or blue, it’s a duck
of different color.

Favorite bedtime story:
Little Duck that Could.

Young and wise.

I am the prettiest Rubba Duck!

Duckhorn Ducky has a few layers of sparkles on her pretty pale pink body. Her horn and eyes are a mystical powdery blue. She is so sparkly that you can see her shining from over a kilometer away. She was hatched on July 25th and has the words “Beep, Beep” written on her bum.

Brand: Rubba Ducks

Ow.

It’s a good thing Sitting Ducky has a high pain tolerance because he’s not a moving target. He is a sitting target. His bum is permanently bruised and I think there is some sort of black target aim thing on his bum. I am not really too sure what this symbol is. He was hatched on January 14th and is usually only used as a target in the summer. Even when he is a moving target he still gets hit. He can’t go anywhere (without snide comments being made) unless he puts on a jacket to cover his stripes.

Poem on his tag

“Thinks he’s in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

But knows that what goes
around comes around.

Gets nervous if he’s
sitting in one place too long,
so he’s always on the go.

Ready, aim, DUCK!”

Hot tamales.

Spice Ducky has chopped so many jalapenos, red, and green chilies that she doesn’t even feel the burn on her skin anymore. She makes the best salsa (with lots of lime and cilantro). She is wearing a green bandana to keep the sweat off her forehead while she cooks. It says Rubba Ducks on it too. What makes Spicee Ducky extra cute is the tiny little mole/beauty mark below her left eye. She is the second ducky I own that has a cute little mole. She was born on May 05 which is two days after my birthday and has a red chili on her bum. (I have thought that it would have been neat to save all my Rubba Ducks to blog on the actual day that each of them was born. However, we are in the process of packing up, staging and then selling our house to move to Victoria, so I need get my biggest duckies blogged and packed first).

Poem on her tag:

“Hot, Hot, Hot.

The spiciest latin singer ever.

Believes Cinco de Mayo
is celebrated because of her birthday.

Loves EVERYTHING about
salsa...the dance, the food,

‘Salsa, darling!’”

Duckerina Ducky was born the day after my birthday on May 04. She has a pair of ballet slippers on her bum. The pink tulle around her ballet bodysuit is a nice 3-Dimensional touch. Her eyeshadow matches her bodysuit and her hair is swept up into an elegant bun.

  Kiss and tell.

Be Mine Ducky was hatched one day before Valentine's Day. She was struck by You’re Mine Arrow and they have been dating for a few years. There is a candy heart on her bum that says "More love" and a few ducks have tried to bite her bum to get a taste. She has a bob style hair cut and she flips the ends out with her round brush. There is even a heart barrette in her hair. She has red eyes and a red beak. Her skin is pink. At one time wearing pink and red together was a fashion faux pas but I don't think that is the case anymore. If you look closely at this ducky, you will see that her body is in the shape of a heart and she has her tail tucked in.

Poem on her tag:

"Sweetheart is a given name
as roses are to bloom

To be one's special valentine
is a token of heart. It's true.

As always, now and forever,
more Lovee I'll give to U."

Hut!

I am in the process of cleaning out the basement (winter cleaning instead of Spring cleaning) and I was shredding a whole bunch of receipts when I came across a receipt for 20 Rubba Ducks that I bought. I got them on sale at a Toy R us in Costa Mesa, California (during a work business trip). I am sure I looked a bit suspicious as a 21 year old going through customs with a duffel bag full of rubber ducks (no the ducks were not filled with anything). It was a great deal and the most Rubba Ducks I ever bought at one time.

Anyway, Duckskin Ducky was one of the ducks in that set that I purchased. He was born on April 20 and has a gold football goal post on his tail. He is chocolate brown and his entire body is covered in bumpy football grip dots. He also has white football laces going up the front of him.

Poem on his tag:

“Get a grip, not one to fumble.

Prefers rubb’n around

in an outdoor stadium.

Hutt, Hutt! Touchdown

After all of the New Year’s
bowl games, it’s off to
Duckworld he goes.”
