Chained Rubber Ducks

Name: Chained Rubber Ducks
Interests: Cleaning our house together and cooking together.
Where to Find: Not sure
Brand: Unknown
Price: $1.99 Cdn

Even though we’re attached, it’s important to spend quality time together.

I bought these ducks with my friend and fellow ducky collector back when we were in Junior High. It’s hard to say whether this is a ducky keychain or chick keychain. These ducks have flapping wings and quite the jowls. They also have smaller beaks (possibly for pecking grains). However they are wearing pink inner tubes with blue ducks stencilled on the outside. They might just be wearing these so they can pose as rubber ducks.

King Ducky from eBay

Name: King Ducky
Interests: Watching Game of Thrones and Spartacus
Where to Find: Caselotbuys on ebay and WEM vending machine
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $0.46 Cdn each

One king to rule all the kingdoms. 

I love being king. I get the best meals in all the land, but I also invite the poor people to the castle for supper too. I am a nice king and I try to what is right for everyone. My wife, the Queen is great. We have been married for 10 years. My Knights are very loyal. Apparently we are all part of some Fairly Tale ducky set, but being a king is not a fairy tale. It is a real job. The pay is great, but my life is always at risk too.

Queen Ducky from eBay

Name: Queen Ducky
Interests: Controlling people and sitting on the throne.
Where to Find: Caselotbuys on ebay and WEM vending machine
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $0.46 Cdn each

"
"Who is the fairest of them all?"

There is no greater feeling than sitting upon my throne. Don’t get me wrong. It is a lot of work being a Queen. Sometimes I am manipulating and I have to make hard decisions. However, I never tire of the ball gowns, wearing pink and getting my feathers washed and brushed daily.The life of royalty is definitely the life for me and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. My crown is also very pretty, but weighs a ton.

Purple and Blue Hat Duckies

Name: Purple and Blue Hat Duckies
Interests: Driving. We love the movie Driving Miss Daisy.
Where to Find: Elephants Never Forget (no longer in business)
Brand: Unknown
Price: $2.95 Cdn each

Brooommmmm Vrooommm

These two rubber duckies are still available in quite a few toy stores. They might be Schylling brand but I don’t have the tag on them anymore. They were within in the first 20 rubber duckies that I ever bought.

Purple Hat Ducky: “After church today, let’s go for a car ride.” Blue hat Ducky: “Sweet, idea. Let’s pack a picnic lunch and head to the beach.”

Both these duckies always seem to be looking out to the left and they both have a quilted pattern on their wings and a slightly rosie patch on their wings. They look like they are dressed in their Sunday best.

GI Ducky

Name: G.I. Ducky
Interests: Tobogganing and doing anything outdoors in the winter.
Where to Find: Don’t remember
Brand: DeluxeDucks room interior products
Price: $9.99 Cdn

I love jumps.

It was warm enough to go outside today and enjoy the snow (which is rare in Edmonton), so we went tobogganing in the ravine. We don't have an old school long wooden toboggan, anymore so we used crazy carpets.

G.I. Ducky loves going sledding and snow tubing at ski hills. He also likes building snow people too. He has light green, dark green, lime green and brown military print on his body. He has an orange beak and baby blue eyes.The quote on the box says: “Don’t be a sitting duck.”

Ski Ducky from Victoria

Name: Ski Ducky
Interests: Teaching children how to ski. I water ski in the summer.
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts in Victoria, B.C.
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $2.00 Cdn 

Let’s hit the slopes

While I am teaching kids how to make a pie with their skis to slow down and how to turn, I can see the kids admiring my festive attire. I have green skis and poles and love my red and blue jester toque and red goggles. Goggles are a must for low visibility days. Since I live in B.C., it’s often not too cold for skiing at Mt. Washington. I love skiing in just a vest so my wings can flap freely in the mountain breeze that I create. I also love getting to the top of the mountain and admiring the huge scoops of vanilla ice cream weighing down the pine tree branches.

Snowboard Ducky from Victoria

Name: Snowboard Ducky
Interests: Wearing anything pink and doing any type of winter activity.
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts in Victoria, B.C.
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $2.00 Cdn 

Let’s hit the rails.

Snow, snow, snow. Yipee! While some people complain about the road conditions, I think think about the slope conditions. There is tons of snow in Edmonton today and I am planning on hitting up Snow Valley or Rabbit Hill tonight. I love moguls, jumps and railings, but it’s very important to always wear a helmet. I have landed on my head a few times (and still ended up with a mild concussion). After a hard day, boarding in the mountains, I love warming up in the hot tub. Since I’m so light, the jets spin me right round quite a few times before I get dizzy.
