Unabashed love and unswerving loyalty.

I'm sorry for your loss, my friend.

You ain't kidding! I was flogged by a chicken once. It pecked my head and left gashes and bloodly welts on my face. :mad:


Okay, reading this post and my last, I'm thinking farm life didn't agree with me. ;D

Let's just say this. I love animals. I could convince myself not to eat beef or pork on principle, but I'll fry up a chicken in a heartbeat and cook every goose I see. ;D

I had a pet rooster when I was young.  It grew up out of an Easter chick.  I was the only one who could get around it.  I used to get a snort watching him chase people, especially my mother.  She paid me back by having him throttled, cooking him, and making me eat him.  I couldn't eat chicken for a long time.

That reminds me of a childhood event. My best friend kept rabbits and his favorite was Nibbles. One day his mother called all us boys in for a warm meal of stew. Several of us remarked on how good the stew was before my friend said, ma what's in this? ( most of us had second and third helpings by that point)

Nibbles was her reply!

I, personally, think it's cruel to eat a pet 'farm' animal unless it's a necessity, and especially to make the owner eat it.

They were raised and raised to eat, but nibbles was the "pet" and mother of all the food. The ten year old I was at the time found it hilarious, and I was the only one who finished the portion being consumed. (for which I was ragged for for years)

If u had seen the smile his polish/Jewish mother had on her face when she announced it was nibbles. Looking back it makes the event all the more surreal to me.

That sounds like the same satisfaction my mother had when she fed me my rooster.  Surreal isn't the word, abuse is.

  That is what happen to my rooster.  My dad killed him and the rest of the family ate him.  When I seen what happened I got up from the table and didn't eat that night.  You know I never forgive my dad for killing my rooster before I could have found him a new home.  I paid for him, I paid for his food and I took care of him.  Dad had no right to kill him.  Still :angry:   :mad: when I think about it.   :rant:

Stormed and poured down rain here for awhile here this morning, it is still spitting rain. My husband and grandson were fishing at Shadyside. Grandson caught a 10 lb catfish.
