Please Can I Have A Chicken?

These are the exact words that come out of my sons mouth every time we leave Grandpa and Grandma's house. Gabe has always been such an animal lover! I love that he has such a tender side for animals. I do not however share his enthusiasm for animals. Don't get me wrong , I love animals, just as long as some one else owns them! Gabe is constantly acting like a different animal. He begs to keep worms as pets and tries to bathe with them!(gross I know!!) If my parents catch a mouse in a trap, he will cry to let it out and ask to keep it as a pet. He is absolutely in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, with the Chickens at my parents house. He catches them and rubs his face against there's. He really is so soft with them and they let him hold them for hours. ( I think they are in shock.) I am a little sicked out by the whole nuzzling up against them, but he loves them so much. We can't keep him out of the chicken coop. My dad doesn't so much love it, but Gabe is in heaven. You should see him act like a chicken. He has studied them down to a "T". My mom will pet his head, and he will Bock like a chicken and cock his head back and fourth while holding his hands up like talons. It is seriously uncanny how much he resembles a chicken! One of my personal favorites is when we take Gabe to the store and let him pick out a treat, he always goes for those disgusting, blue gummy sharks. He holds them and pets there backs. He says that they are his pets and he carries them with him where ever we go. As soon as I see hair and dirt attached, I know it is time to say good bye to the shark pets! I guess having candy as a pet is much better than actually eating it, right? Here are a few cute pictures we took of him in my parents back yard!


I just caught him carrying a full conversation with his feathery friend!

Like I said before, I think the Chicken is in shock!!

No matter how many times we bathe him, we can't quite get that
DIRTY smell to go away! My sweet and dirty little boy, what would I do without him?
