This afternoon my lavender Orpington roo, Spectre, who turned out to have balance problems in addition to one split wing and one deformed foot due inadequate housing and an over dose of ignorance on the part of his former owners, went for a walk on the couch, which is normally littered with napping dogs, but these were Italian Greyhounds, now italian greyhounds have a habit of sleeping under blankets, but our roo did not know this, so he continued to wobble his unsteady way along the couch until he hit the first dog, this dog was very alarmed and preceded to bolt when the weight four pounds heavier than her landed on her ribs, only she unbalanced our hero, who fell on the remaining three dogs, who all flew out from under the blanket in an equally impromptu manner, ever since they have regarded the ridiculously fluffy ball of feathers in a very respectful manner. This still makes me laugh, seeing the snobbish high- born titled Italian Greyhounds, regard a skinny cockerel with a deformed foot with such respect.
