I think they bring their own personality into a book and I love reading about them. One book I read, and I can't remember the name of it, but it featured a goat who was an escape artist and ate the prize flowers...lol! No matter what they did to keep in it's pen, it would still find a way to get out And the hero in the book didn't like the goat, but eventually he was won over :-) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your rooster story Danica, I can imagine your daughter defending Tristan..haha!

She was aggravating the chickens and this one little game hen chased me! I wanted to tell that hen that it wasn't me but I couldn't get the words out and she wouldn't have listened to me anyway.

Though we lived on a ranch and had been butchering our own meat for our entire young lives, it didn't occur to him that his show pig, which brought an excellent price at auction, would be slaughtered--until bacon showed up on his breakfast plate. Suddenly, every piece of ham/pork was Willard to him. Our dad secretly tracked down and bought back the pig, which turned so mean over time that my brother actually helped butcher it in the end. THAT outcome may just be the difference between boys and girls, however.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611859528304520995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-13620263808177277872018-02-21T10:28:09.650-08:002018-02-21T10:28:09.650-08:00Danica, that's a cute story.

I've never had any pet more exotic than a fish/dog/cat, but I love to put horses in my stories because I always wanted one.<br /><br />Years ago, when I was writing a Revolutionary War historical, I just *may* have put in the horse that went with my daughter's Felicity American Girl Doll.

This rooster thought he ran the show and he loved to chase both the chickens and me whenever he so chose. I still chuckle every time I think about Top Knot. Thanks for sharing.
