I absolutely love that she & George & Clyde are best friends now. What a character she is. She could become a real celebrity, you know. If she's laying, she's happy. And, that right there, is the absolute best part. <br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxo <br /><br />CarolynnCarolynn Anctilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566204713508877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-2368913120665810212011-05-09T22:07:39.162-07:002011-05-09T22:07:39.162-07:00Oh my, you guys are the best.

She is docile and sweet, and I can pick her up whenever I want. She's never naughty, (jumping the fence, laying eggs under the porch, or God knows where.....), and she likes my kids.<br /><br />She gets picked on every so often, but nothing quite as brutal. <br /><br />I'm glad your Honey found a new flock. (Very smart of her to get in with the big animals...)<br /><br />Lovely story, thanks for sharing!Lavenderfeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828361001737694404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-42881491490257773602011-05-09T18:10:46.162-07:002011-05-09T18:10:46.162-07:00I don't think an illustrator is needed, the ph...I don't think an illustrator is needed, the photos are perfect.Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-84792000859903847672011-05-09T17:04:59.546-07:002011-05-09T17:04:59.546-07:00This is a wonderful story Danni-and yes it should ...This is a wonderful story Danni-and yes it should be made into a children s book!!
