remember chook chook???...well...her idyllic life came to a brutal end a few weeks ago....the neighbour's dog chased her down, plucked her and left her to die....very tragic, and a very unpleasant sight when mr lzilulu and myself arrived home to a scattered pile of feathers.....
the shed ladies were appalled and extremely sympathetic...well, she was a part of their lives too, spending at least some of MOST thursdays sharing their lives....
....and making herself quite at home in the shed amongst the power leads.....
to cut a long story short, one of the shed ladies remembered my chookless situation when she heard the story of a chook in a neighbouring town....it seems that this chook belonged to a little girl and she was very spoilt and had ABSOLUTELY no idea that she was a chook *!!!*...the little girl and her family left town.....and charlotte s.t.a.y.e.d. b.e.h.i.n.d.......she boarded with a family who had lots of chooks and for some reason they didn't like her and chooks can be very mean to other chooks who "just don't fit in"....for some reason they thought she had a superior attitude and tried to point out exactly where she was in the pecking order...of course charlotte couldn't understand this behaviour...remember...she didn't KNOW she was a chook.....
fast forward to yesterday...the phone rang...would i like to adopt charlotte??? it took all of a milli,milli second to say YES!PLEASE!....and another 15mins for Frances to deliver charlotte to her new home....oh!chickadees! she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and we at lzilulu's place are smiling again!! much to her disgust i have put her in the chookhouse....only for a couple of days until she gets used to things....trust me, i have been spending lots of time in there with her...reassuring her that all is well with the world and i am sure that she will thrive....she is so quiet and friendly....still in the training stages of how to get up on the roost....i actually lifted her onto the roost last night..and how to get down from it...she obviously likes a sleep in...it was well after daylight when i went out and LIFTED her off the roost *!!!*...hope she is a quick learner 'cause i'm not sure that i could factor that sort of duty into my daily "to do" list!!!
.....she happily posed for the following photos.....
...as you can see, she has a perfectly good ladder to access the roost.....hmmm.....
....and well you may ask...what is THIS???...a bracelet??...surely not!! OH! YES! it is a beautiful beaded bracelet....made by her little friend....so cute...and apparently she painted her toenails too *smile*....not sure that she has come to the right place for such fluffing!!
....well chickadees, must away..have lots of monday jobs to do and time is slipping away....but firstly, will i use red, purple or pink??????
...and what's this i see?? flo and rae choosing their colours??...must be...
....and this was their reaction when i told them i was only doing charlotte's nails.....hmph!!
....until next time, take care and be kind to each other
