I was out for a casual walk(6 mo. pregnant) and the turkeys started to walk toward me. I got a little nervous and started to walk faster and so did the turkeys...I started to run and so did the turkeys...right after me. How foolish i looked being pregnant and chased by those nasty birds. Finally they turned and went the other way. <BR/>Hang in there...you amaze me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694675.post-69332132581171536592009-01-18T08:58:00.000-08:002009-01-18T08:58:00.000-08:00Jackie, I am so glad that there are others out the...Jackie, I am so glad that there are others out there who feel the same way about animals as I do. Just the idea of you leaving Rosie behind made me sad (he is a rooster for goodness sakes!). But, he was a loved family pet and I am sorry that he couldn't stay with you and the kids. I am sure that he will do just fine at the farm. And...you could go visit if the kids (or you) start to miss him too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694675.post-24308724910375322242009-01-17T16:54:00.000-08:002009-01-17T16:54:00.000-08:00Eww turkeys are hideous (but they taste delicious ...Eww turkeys are hideous (but they taste delicious when you brine them and then roast them!).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the funny retelling and glad to see Rosie setting the other bird straight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694675.post-22051647970762885482009-01-17T15:30:00.000-08:002009-01-17T15:30:00.000-08:00The rooster rage was the first thing that i though...The rooster rage was the first thing that i thought when you said he was going back to the farm - yep, i'm the other softy who cries at the titles of programmes on the animal world! - an ugly image of cock fighting sprang to mind.<BR/> I just wonder, from looking at the turkeys *shudder*, who first looked at one of them and thought 'lunch'???? Surely you'd think something that ugly wouldn't taste nice? there again i don't eat meat at all - and no, i don't think all animals're ugly! - but i would've thought that if i was going to then i'd've picked something nice? There again maybe they chose the turkey 'cos it WASN'T cute? Who knows?
