Save the Chickens Telethon

Ashton: We’re running out of chickens, and this is a serious situation. Since no one else wants to take this seriously (I’m looking at you, Newton), I’m kicking off the Save the Chickens telethon.

Newton: Are you sure this is a good plan?

Ashton: Of course it is! Better than your plan, for sure. So here’s the deal everyone, you call me with your pledges. I’m standing by now to take your calls to help save the chickens. It’s not about my emporium — well, it is about my emporium, and my job as taste tester there. Think of it as being about the fuzzy chicks. They need your help!

Ashton ready to take your call* RING*

Ashton: EEEEEK!

Newton: Wow, I didn’t think she could move that fast.

wide-eyed NewtonNewton: Ash, what are you doing under there?

Ashton's tail peeks out from under the bedAshton: The phone rang.

Newton: Well…. That’s what happens when you ask people to call you.

Ashton: I don’t like the phone ringing. We’ll have to think of another way to save the chickens.


If you missed them, catch up on all of our chicken capers.

    Oh my Ash, this is a conundrum for sure. The ringing phone causes you to go UTB and the phone is part of a telethon….yes, this is a challenge. But Ash…a question…how the heck did you get your head UTB with those big earphones on?

    Sorry we have been absent for so long. You can blame Mauricio and Cat Scouts for that. We know there’s a ring tone that quacks like a duck, maybe you can find one that peeps like a baby chick. The photoshopped photo with the earphones is hysterical. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    You guys are too cute! Perhaps you should opt for a cell phone so that you can change the ringer to your favorite song – or perhaps a gentle purr. I have a feeling that you will save the chickens somehow.
