My BF just took these pictures.
breed: frizzle silkie (sizzle)
Name: Lacy
Age: 6 months
Story: We lost our last frizzle of 5 years recently to a racoon. We were so sad. we searched for another at the bird auctions but never does one go through. 10 years prior I met this really old guy frank at this auction, I attend once a month. We became friends. Well last month he said he had a surprise for me. And he gave me lacy. He found her at another sale and held her for 2 months until he ran into me at that auction, as he lives far away. So here she is and she is so cute. she follows you and not for food. she just wants to sit on your foot or be held. I love making friends.

I love this shot:
