Happy Father’s Day! Yogi and His Ducklings
Not all fathers are the made the same. Some are tall. Some are short. Some like baseball. Some like football. Some don’t like sports at all. But, most just want to be there for you when you need them most.
In short, what makes a father a father isn’t always biology, it’s what they say and do.
That’s why this story caught my attention on this Father’s Day. You see, Yogi is not a typical father either. His wee little ones come with webbed feet. But, he is a father nonetheless.
This picture first appeared on Animal Planet’s Wall of Fame, but it was the follow up story on DisoveryNews.com that I found most interesting. You can read more about Yogi and his ducklings here.
Happy Father’s Day to all those wonderful fathers out there!

What a nice Father’s Day story. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for stopping by an enjoying it!
I’m writing this comment a day after Father’s Day but I’d like to share my story about my dog who yesterday attempted to “father” a few kittens.
He and I were taking our morning walk when we passed an adult cat snuggled with 4 kittens on someone’s lawn. Being the cat lover that my dog is, he invited the feline family to play by squatting low to the grown and yelping. Not getting the response which he was after, he started barking loudly enough to scare the adult cat who proceeded to run away, leaving the 4 kittens unattended.
I wasn’t sure what his intentions were when he approached the foursome so I tried to pull him back. To prove that I have nothing to worry about, my little Udi took a submissive stance and calmly watch the kittens. When I gave his leash a bit more slack, he inched closer and closer. The end result was that Udi cured around the kittens who calmly nuzzled up to him.
I so wish I had a camera with me because this would have made a beautiful picture of my dog Udi taking on a fatherly roll for four fuzzy little kittens.
Hanna – What a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing it!
