Sad

Oh dear. We are all so very very sad. ONN was walking his 2 hairy dachshunds (£180 each as puppies he informs us. And can you imagine the mentality of someone who names a squat, ratty and mean-minded dog 'Thimble'? Myself shudders to think what the other one is called) on the allotments when one slipped its leash and attacked Ally & Pally. Ally escaped (loudly) but P was not so lucky. Caught, shaken and chewed.

ONN kicked his nasty little dog so hard it let go and put it back on the lead while He gathered up the injured Pally. So very very sad. There was nothing He or She or anyone could do.

ONN's wife came out and shouted at him and then burst into tears.

We took Pally away and later buried it under the rhubarb. It was a silly but in its own way a remarkably beautiful and fluffy chicken.
