Blurkey Chicken

Blurkey Chicken came to live with me on February 5, 2003. She was rescued after being left behind in a cage to starve to death. 

She's now happy and well-fed. She has trained me to be her pet horsie. Her favorite activities are riding on my back, digging deep cool holes to lie in, sitting on my lap or on the back of a chair and looking over my shoulder to read my book, walking on my laptop, and talking about her day. She has quite a vocabulary and lets me know when she wants to go outside, go inside, roam around, eat more of a certain food, or just chill out in my lap. Her favorite foods are tomatoes, oatmeal cookies, popcorn, peanut bits, whole grain bread, and all the special treats I bring home for her.

Update: Blurkey died of old age on June 29, 2006. A chunk of my heart dies with her. May you live on, Blurkey, in blurkeyheaven -- you'll always be a part of me. Thank you for your love, your companionship, and your friendship all these years. You will always be loved, Blurkey -- you are always loved.
