Mmmmmmmmm Chicken

Hi Everyone,

Its been a bit busy here with all these building works going on, but in between all of the excitement that has caused we have been getting out and about a bit too. We went to see Nanny and Grandad sand twice and I had two lovely walks on the beach, it was very cold the first time, but the week after it was lovely.

Last weekend we went to see Millie my little chocolate Labrador friend, she was the first doggie I met when Mummy and Daddy brought me home and she comes to stay in the summer when her family go on holiday. Millie lives with her Mummy and Daddy and brother and sister, Tom and Hannah in a nice house in the country.

In her garden, Millie has two chickens Trinny and Susanna, now I've never met chickens in the open before, I met some in Boris's garden but they were in a house. These two were in the back garden roaming around, well Millie took me over to introduce me and I'm afraid I disgraced myself, you see they ran off flapping and clucking and well, it was all too much to resist really. You see I chase birds in my back garden and when I'm off the lead in the field and woods, but they always fly away. Chickens just run and flap but don't seem to take off so when I caught up with Susanna, instinct took over and I grabbed her.

Seems that catching chickens is not allowed, Daddy shouted at me so loud, I dropped Susanna in shock and she ran away through the fence, I did my best to look nonchalant and innocent, but its very difficult when you have mouth full of feathers, some of which are sticking out of both sides. Well Millie's Mummy and sister had to go into next doors garden to get the chicken back, then they locked her in her house, so no more playing with the chickens for me! Millie's Daddy my Daddy Millie and me went for a long walk over the fields in the afternoon and having been playing with Millie in the wet and mud and the rain, I was really too tired to chase chickens, but we had a really nice time.

Daddy tells me the chicken in going to be fine and that I mustn't do that again or Millie won't be allow to come and stay in the summer. I hope the chicken is OK as I like playing with Millie.

Write soon, lots of love
