I met the strangest creature today.  At first I thought it might be a little person because it only walked on two legs.  It must have been a very special person too because it was being carried on Vonnie's shoulder.   It seemed to be in charge of Vonnie too, because it would whisper in her ear, and was allowed to share her lunch!  Bea and I are lucky if we get a few liver treats for lunch; along with all the free toenails we can find of course.
Even Bea didn't know what the little green person was.  The worst thing about it was that it kept staring at me.  It didn't make any noise, just little black eyes staring right through me.  And just when I thought it was looking away, it spun it's entire head around backward just to prove to me that it was still watching.
I was beginning to think that this was some kind of super human with all kinds of new powers.  That was, until I saw Sweet Sally and Vonnie hold it down wrapped up in a towel and trim it's nails and some of it's bristly, floating hairs.  It squawked and squirmed, but it didn't matter, the humans just kept on with their work.
At that point I realized that the little green creature wasn't a human at all.  My dad came by and called it a "peach faced mean bird'.   Mother said, "Birds... never touch'em, unless we're talking about chicken, that's delicious."  Of course.....chicken!  I love chicken:  chicken jerky treats, chicken liver treats, squeaky rubber chicken.  All of a sudden, I knew exactly what the green little creature was.  If only I could've gotten closer to it's cage....
