Chicken Sitting – Conversations with Sweetie

Sweetie: Lady Human! I have a new friend.

Me: I saw that.

Sweetie: She is really nice and friendly and not scared of my big ole bulldog face at all. And she didn’t say anything. Nice and quiet.

Me: Yeah. She just stood right by you the whole time you sat in the patio. Kind of strange for a chicken.

Sweetie: What chicken?

Me: Your new patio friend. She’s a chicken. Remember. We talked about chickens. The birds that have wings, but they only flap and don’t fly.

Sweetie: She doesn’t fly away and she doesn’t talk. Perfect in every way.

Mad as a Wet Hen – Conversations with Sweetie

Sweetie: Lady Human, it’s that big bird again.

Me: Yeah, I see her.

Sweetie: She’s all wet. How come?

Me: It rained earlier. She must have decided to stay out in the downpour instead of going inside her house.

Sweetie: Is that why she’s in my space, stomping around?

Me: She’s probably just trying to figure things out.

Sweetie: Well, one thing she needs to figure out is when to come in out of the rain.

Running around like a Chicken – Conversations with Sweetie

Sweetie: Lady Human, we have a problem.

Me: What’s wrong?

Sweetie: There is something running around my sunbath area. I think it is a bird. It has wings, but it is not flying. I think something needs to be done.

Me: It’s alright, Sweetie. It’s a chicken.

Sweetie: Well, I knew it wasn’t a bulldog. But I don’t think it’s right to have a big chicken running around my sunbath spot.

Me: She won’t bother you.

Sweetie: What if she wants my spot? I’m not giving up my spot to a bird. I mean, what if she invites friends? It won’t be a sunbath anymore. It’ll be a bird bath.
