Chick On the Loose

Newton: What’s this jumping across the room? Could this be one of Ashton’s missing chicks? * SLURP * It looks like a little chicken, but it doesn’t taste like one.

Newton: Whoa! Did you have a little too much catnip, little guy? You’re not very steady on your feet.

Newton: It’s not getting up.

Pierre: Did you hurt it?

Newton: I barely bit it! How could I have hurt it?

Pierre: It looks like you killed it.

Newton: Not on purpose. Can you keep it while I figure out what to do next?

Pierre: I guess so….

Newton: Oh, hi, Ashton! Are you missing something?

Pierre: Uh-oh.

Did you see the rest of Ashton’s chicken capers? If not, you can catch up on her adventures.

Outtakes Day

Since Topical Thursday happened on Tuesday this week, we thought it would be fun to share some outtakes today from the photo shoot for yesterday’s blog post.

The whole sequence was going to be shot in our sunroom, but Newton had other ideas and made off with the guest star.

After a journey behind and under the sofa, Newton brought his now-dirty prey back out into the open and tried playing with him, only to discover that his new friend was a bit clingy, especially after Newton had drooled on him.

The result was not a camera-ready chick. (The head peep should thank Newton for cleaning that hair out from under the sofa.)

Another pink chick was brought out, and the photos that appeared on yesterday’s blog were shot, where Ashton discovered that there are actually human foods she doesn’t like.

While Ashton was having this moment of truth, Newton was having a different kind of moment with the remaining chicks.

The moral of this story is apparently not to leave marshmallow chicks unattended in our house if Newton is awake.

Ashton’s First Chicks

Ashton: My first chicks arrived in the mail for my chicken emporium, but I think something isn’t right about them. They don’t smell like any other chicken I have eaten before. Do you think it’s because they’re still chicks and not full grown yet?

I even tried tasting them, and they don’t taste like the chicken I’ve had before. * PTUH * Yuck.

They aren’t even any fun to play with. I expected they would at least run. We can’t even get a good game of chase going on here.

Don’t tell Sage, since she was so thoughtful to send these, but having chicks isn’t exactly what I expected. What do you think I should do with them?

If you missed them, you can catch up on all of Ashton’s chicken capers.

Surprise Package

Ashton: My friend Sage told me she was sending me a surprise package, but she wouldn’t tell me what was in it. I have had to wait for DAYS for it to travel in the mail, but it’s here!

Ashton: OMC, it’s chicks! Except…. what happened to them? They aren’t moving. Did they get motion sickness from being in the mail?
