Ducky was inspired by the Rubber Duck themed exhibit on ebsq.  Of course as soon as I saw the theme the Rubber Ducky song by Ernie would not stop playing in my head.  So I knew I had to show the duck being played with in the tub.  I figured a Fairy cat might be a bit too aggressive in the water, so that left a young dragon.  Although even with a dragon, he might need a new ducky for each bath.....
