Pecking orders.

Yesterday we had chicken for dinner. Dileas would sell his soul for chicken which is very much at the top of his pecking order. It goes something like this from bottom to top. Granny. Old and rickety he will protect and grrrrrif if anyone comes near.
Me. I take him for long walks , I feed him, I arrange for the vet,I wash his filthy wet manky drying towels , I clean his drool off the furniture I save him from being put down by stopping him killing the postman. He tolerates me. Uncle Callum keeps cats. He forgives and loves him. Uncle Douglas twin to Eoghan. He adores him and his springer Cara. Eoghan. There are no words. He is unquestionably adored. Then above all these there is the deep abiding love of a lifetime. CHICKEN.
