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.

What Naughty Lurks

Ashton: He’s back there, isn’t he? He likes to lurk back there and make me nervous.

Not that having a naughty, orange cat behind me where I can’t see what he’s doing would put me on edge. No, not at all.

Hey you, with the camera, if you would please move to the side, I think I’m going to need to go that direction any moment now, and I need a clear path of escape.

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.
