FS: “Here you go. Go ahead and grab this guy right here.” (Farmer Sue hands Katie a duck.)KT: “Am I doing this right? I don’t want to hurt him.”FS: “Just grab him. You’ll be fine. “
KT: “Okay, I‘ll do it.” (Katie gently gets the duck from farmer sue and tries to pet it to calm it down. The duck goes crazy, flapping wings and quacking as Katie.)
“Shhh…it’s okay man, don’t worry…I’m a member of PETA.”
*Duck stops quacking, puts down wings and puts head on Katie’s shoulder.*
*All surrounding adults look at Katie like she’s crazy.*
The above is a true story that happened today at Farmer Sue’s in Canton. This along with a 2nd grader who wanted to aid in a sheep giving birth. (He was down in the dirt looking under and attempting to help when I caught him. )
I also met a chicken named Lucky. She was named this because she fell off the truck on the way to become chicken nuggets. She was found by the firemen and brought to the farm. As I hung out with Lucky today (she is one of the only chickens I have heard of who like to be petted and held) I started thinking about vegitarianism again. I went veg for a while but for some reason went back to eatting meat. My fiance hates the idea of it.
What do you think, oh 9 readers?
thanks for you comment on my blog…….my son just brought home a girl who eats no dairy and is a vegetarian…..but not a vegan?……k, anyway, I had to make something fabulous with no meat and no dairy……mmh……had to go on the internet for this one…….. and finally found something that I thought everybody might eat……she loved…..two of my sons made me promise to never do that again…..and the other two loved it….which leaves the younger two who had no comment……sigh……i think I will stick with meat……on occasion:)
