I was in the local Tractor Supply yesterday, and they have live chicks and ducklings for sale. They do this every year. Whenever they do, there's that little temptation to see what would happen if I brought home a live chick for Pookie. But with my luck, they'd become friends and then I'd have to care for a chicken or duck . . .
And if they didn't become friends . . . well . . . I'd feel sorry for the poor chick/duckling. Esp. since Pookie's had a tendency to play with what he catches first.
I wonder how many other people actually do buy them, though, to feed their pets . . . And can you imagine that conversation at the check-out . . . "Yes, I'm buying them to feed my cat."
