Losing Her Chickens

Ashton: Did you hear that the amazing chicks that Sage sent to me were mysteriously returned to her…. in a box with Newton and Pierre’s paw prints all over it? I’ve been looking for evidence here, but so far, no luck. They’re sneaky boycats. 

Ashton Ashton: So when my friend Cathy Keisha sent me some chicks still in their incubators, I was really excited. At last, chicks to start growing chickens for my chicken emporium!

Ashton and the incubator chicks

 Ashton:  Only now they’ve gone missing, too. I don’t understand it. It’s like there was some chicken-eating monster in the house. I’m supposed to be the only chicken-eating monster around here.

Hey, Newt, have you seen my chicks?

Newton paws tiny chickNewton: Huh, no, I don’t see any chicks out here. Did you check under the bed behind the dust bunnies?

Newton with chickNewton: *whispers* It’s just you and me now, little chick. Ashton goes under the bed for hours at a time!

Newton has a tiny chickNewton: I know you are growing and aren’t ready yet, but let’s see how you taste.  * SLURP *  You don’t taste anything like chicken.

Newton licks tiny chickAshton: Can you come help me, Newt?

Newton: I’m kinda busy right now.

Ashton: These dust bunnies are mostly made of your fur, and I can’t see past them.

Newton: * sigh * All right, all right. On my way.  * whispers * And you wait right here, little chick. I’ll be back!

    MOL you wouldn’t find them under our bed….there are so many dust bunnies they would be totally hidden.

    Hope you find them.

    Oh boy! My cat bro Bert would eat the entire box of chicks even if they don’t taste good. He takes practice hunting very seriously and isn’t allowed to have toys because of it. He eats everything!

    I think there are dust bunnies under everyone’s bed. So it would be hard to find those chickens anywhere. Hope you catch up to them.
