Minnie has always been a friend of chickens, she loves to hang out with the hens. She lost her best hen pal, The Red Hen last week, we had to put her down because she had an infected wound. This week, Minnie started hanging out with the White Hen. We don’t name our chickens any more, too many of them live short and abrupt lives.

Minnie, on the other hand, has many lives. She is doing well on three legs, one of the few barn cats alive with an amputated leg and loving recovery.  She and the White Hen spent the afternoon chatting, probably bitching about the dogs. Minnie and Flo are back outside, as they are in warm weather.
