Alan the chicken is no more. we will miss her sweet, trilling voice (not all chickens squawk), and her gentle, friendly and curious manner. i am dreadfully sorry i could not find the courage to break her neck last night, because it meant she suffered more.
amazingly, she was still with us--just--this morning. which was the most distressing thing. i sobbed all the way to work, because i knew there was a lovely, sweet-natured girl lying slowly dying in our front room, and i couldn't be there to do what little i could to ease her passing.
to all those who offered sympathy and love and hugs in my sadness, my heartfelt thanks.
i'm going to miss you, Alan. you were a lovely chicken.

What a lovely little face. *hugshard* I hope you can heal soon, and I am so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cee. She *was* a pretty girl. A real sweetheart.
