Thank you to all you showed for the celebrations at MacTealc Towers - The Big Mac and myself had a wonderful time and we hope you did too!
However - on our return to The Towers we have had to face the saddest news .............. our dear chook Hetti has been removed!
We thought at first it may have been that she flew the coop to escape the shenannigans that spilled out from the Big Hoose ......... the owner of the HUGE motor bike dressed in all the Bling was causing a great kerfuffle whilst impersonating John Travolta in the fountain!
But no - it would seem the most unthinkable has actually happened.
We received dear Hettie's best tail feathers in the post this morning with instruction that we should not contact the police or the fowl authoritieis.
Do you have any clues ? Who could do such a thing? And what price for the return of our dearest friend and chicken - Hettie?
And if you have her - PLEASE DONT EAT HER - she would be tough as old ostrich anyway!

Hetti....OMG! I had no idea! By the time I remembered that guest were coming for Thanksgiving, the grocery was closed, a very large chicken wandered into the yard....I am so very sorry! On the other hand, be rest asured that she was a very good bird! IN fact, Everyone thought so! ( it had come down to a choice of your bird or my koi....no one eats sushi for Thanksgiving in the States :-)

I haven't seen Hetti, but I do recall my amazement at seeing 3 vultures standing by the road yesterday (true story), they were wearing bibs and had a fork and knife in there wings. (not true) I don't know how far one little chicken would stretch amongst that hungry bunch, so maybe it was another meal they waited for. I do suspect however there is some 'fowl play' going on somewhere.

As in Henrietta? That lady lives on in the downstairs Lobby selling Tamales for a buck each! Give her an extra 20 & she'll add some mota to the mix! She looks like such a nice little old lady with grey hair & her push cart! I have seen her kitchen & I'd never eat her food, so I hope she didn't abduct one of your hens as she was preparing her daily dose of medicine to dish out illegally in my place of worship. I don't eat out anymore. But my neighbors do! They also prey to Mary & hold on to rosaries in a secret room that lies in the basement & in ocean front property 2nd from the alleyway & in the lookout tower that sits next to the newly varnished front door. Look for the wet floor signs that look so funny sitting next to the bucket on top of the soda machine! That leak will never be fixed as long as the Lobby stays busy!

I noticed a hag and a wag together buying carrots, celery, onions and poultry seasoning at the grocers. I overheard conversation pertaining to a ransom and if not paid within 24 hours the stew was on. Do you think this has anything to do with Hettie?

Oh dear! I have not seen poor Hetti, but let me check my dove coop in the backyard. Maybe poor Hetti needed some company and came to visit my doves.

Scoundrels!
Southern Comfort, did you see which way they went when they left the market? Maybe we could follow them, skulking from doorway to doorway, and find out where they have our dear Hetti hidden.
Then we could report it to the family and have an escape party for her.

The poor thing was overworked and underpaid. She told me it was very hard to be at the top of the pecking order and to do it for just chicken feed! I think this is a ruse and she's taking a vacation.
