Mystic: Oh gosh you have so many pets! I'm such an animal lover, but I could never have those many pets. I wouldn't have the money to take good enough care of them, so obviously I can't have them. But it's so wonderful that you adopted so many lovely animals, you must have such a big heart. ^^

And AerieFlew: my mother once bought a chickie in hopes she's grow into a chicken and lay eggs for us. The poor fella lasted about a week. One night she got into my dog's bed (the smaller one in the pic), the next morning we woke up to a surprisingly heavy dose of blood and feathers. I laughed, but I'm not a good person. My mother had to clean the whole thing up, though in fairness, there was not much to be cleaned... My dog must've been hungry. So I guess dogs eating chickens must be pretty common.
