beach chick Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 oh bless you all! can just imagine the over-enthusiastic cuddle... glad she's better and you dont have to come up with an 'explanation'!! but I did laugh. I found a dead mouse in the bed the other day - squashed flat, right where I had been lying. clue was the cat sitting smugly on my pillow, saying 'thanks mum'.... urgh! and when I was about 8 I accidentally knelt on a gerbil. was so hysterical my then 14 year old brother gave me a glass of vodka to calm me down (Mum was at work). these things do happen...

Paola Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 It did however remind me of when I used to help out the gamekeeper of the estate where my Dad was head gardener when I was 7 years old. I was given the job of checking on and feeding some day old chicks in a brooder shed and I accidentally stepped on one and killed it I took it outside and buried it under a tree and have felt guilty about it ever since Having carried that burden around with you for so long, I do hope that you feel better for sharing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I cant imagine how you must have felt and am so glad poor Rosie recovered. Miracle hen eh. Please accept this really badly written ditty to cheer you up. We once lost a chook called Rosie, All because she was just too nosey, She looked for a nook, Where no-one would look and under H’s bum she took The chook was all squashed, And with tears Hen Fan was washed, Don’t worry my dear, She said with a tear Rosie is just slimming. But she wasn’t beaten yet, She headed for the vet With doom and disaster pending, And we have a happy hen ending. Ta ra Sorry that is so bad, Im going to bed! Edited to add first sentance.

mostin Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I feel really sorry for your hen, and I'm so glad she recovered but we were having quite a sad day at work today, due to some news about a colleague. I told everybody your hen squashing story and they were rolling in the aisles . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm glad she's better now! My neighbours are 2 + 4 and the 2 year old hugs the cat all the time, and pulls her tail, and sits on her, and once grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and carried her around the house. The cat doesn't seem fussed by it at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
