In memoriam...
Buzzy, Barred Rock -- Buzzy, you were my baby girl. You were not a chicken. You were one of my best friends. I could tell you things that no one else would understand, and you'd listen and be either happy or sad with me. I am glad you're out of your suffering now... But I wish to God you were still here. You were my best girl. I love you Buzzy... ![]()

And for those whose photographs I did not take...
Ida, Beauregard, Sylvia, Fatso, Blush, Winnie, Percival, Sweetie, Oddball, Penny, Paprika, Cayenne, Buster, Squeaky, Lady Cluck (Clucky), and Carmel. You all were special. You all were unique. I love you. And all you meaties (you are delicious), especially Midget. Midget, I wish you could have lived and enjoyed your life. But for the short while you were here, I loved you, 'cause you were my Midget. (She only lived about a week. She stopped growing and eating, and ended up dying.) And to my Easter Egger boys: Cyril, Apollo, Erastus, and Tyrone. How I wish you hadn't been boys. I hope your new home is nice. And also to the Silkie I got the same time as Turnip... You were special as well. I don't know why you died, but I wish you had lived (especially if you were a girl...).
These guinea keets... Gimpy, my little buddy... And Shrimp... and Icarus. I loved you all.
Taffy, you "darned old" draft pony. I know you'll be a huge blessing to the girl who bought you. Love her deeply and comfort her, be the pony she needs and loves.
Mabel, Jersey heifer... You've gone to a really good home and I know you'll be well cared for. Give 'em lots of milk and be sweet.
