Karen, LUUURVE your pirate chicken ⚓️🐔
If this competition was about the funniest, goofiest chicken, the cup would be yours 🏆
Cannot wait for the competition to start 🔫💨💨💨
🐔🐔🐔🐮💫✨🌟🌹
Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)
Go ahead and laugh at me...I think if you are old enough you will understand my humor here.. let the rubber chicken challenge BEGIN!!!!

Let's just say, we've set the bar low....
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
Clare and Meg 🧡🐾
Gosh, my jaw is hurting and I'm crying with laughter at the Meg and The Chicken Experience 🤣🐔
This was SO amusing and the finale is a true masterpiece ⚰️🐔 🤣
Only Meg could come up with something like that: "ok, I've played with the damn chicken now let's get it buried and out of sight"
You made my day 😂😂😂
I am not sure how you fare vis a vis the (certainly more serious) next contestants but you definitely win for imagination at disposal of the "body" ⚰️
I was expecting to see chickens being shredded by jaws (and excited mad looks all around) but frankly, not buried ...
Sending you love and cuddles, thank you for this fantastically amusing moment 😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹

Oh my goodness Clare and Meg,
That was hysterical! I did not think you would talk her in to it there for a bit, but at least she finally got a few swings out of it 👏👏👏
I guess burying the body was her way of saying "ok, I have humored you, let's get on to the next game?!" 😃🤣😂
Way to go Meg, you indulged your mama and did her proud! 👍👍 (she is SO smart!)
Hugs,
Jackie, Bo, Andy, Oscar, Phoebe, and the coolest feral tripawd kitty Huckleberry
Uh oh... that's what I'm afraid Elly is going to do. Probably not bury it- that would take too much effort on her part. She is laying right next to me and didn't even open her eyes for the squeaks!
I love the expressions on Meg's face... really mum?
Awesome video Clare! You made up for Meg's lack of enthusiasm with production quality and being first in. You are the front runner!
Maybe if I wrap the chicken in turkey feathers....

OOOOOMMMDDDDD🤣🤣😆 ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!! BRILLIANTLY DONE!! SOOOOO MUCH FUN TO WATCH!!
Amd yeah, the expressions on Meg's face and all the effort she goes to to ignore that chicken, and you, PRICELESS!!😎
Amd just when yoj think it can't get any funnier, she tales ot to bury it!! SOOOOO CUTE!!I And I loooove how she's mastered the art of digging with that front paw and using her whole body to help bury it. 😎😎
And yeah, Pie was probably connecting with Meg telling her to hurry up and play with that dang chicken! It was supper time at tje Bridge and she didn't want to miss a meal because of a hooman's fixation on a rubber chicken.
CLARE, WE COULD NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL THE FUN AND LAIGHTER YOU GIVE US WITH YOUR GREAT VIDEOS AND WITTY COMMEMTARTY😎😁😙😗😚
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
you definitely win for imagination at disposal of the "body"
Backatcha, Teresa! This made me hoot! 
That's exactly what she's doing... disposing of the body. Thanks for your lovely response.
I guess burying the body was her way of saying "ok, I have humored you, let's get on to the next game?!"
You're right, Jackie. That is EXACTLY what she was saying. And in no time at all, she was coming and pestering me to play something else. No sign of the chicken, of course, who is now six feet under... Cheeky so and so.
You made up for Meg's lack of enthusiasm with production quality and being first in. You are the front runner!
Yeah, the time zones work in our favour on this one That's the only way we're ever going to find ourselves in front! Not for lack of effort on my part, you have to acknowledge, but Meg?????? The dame has no shame.
Amd yeah, the expressions on Meg's face and all the effort she goes to to ignore that chicken, and you, PRICELESS!!
Well quite, Sally. I got the distinct impression, she was embarrassed by me! Imagine! My own dog is embarrassed by me. 
Thanks everyone for watching and for joining in the fun. Can't wait for the next videos. Elly, it sounds like its between you and Meg for the wooden spoon. I challenge you to be even more nonplussed than she was. Go on. You can do it!

Hahahahaha! OMD Admin and I just laughed like crazy watching this. Meg wasn't sure whether she wanted to enjoy it or destroy it. So she buried it. Wise move! Wise girl!
Either way she made Jerry very proud with all that digging and those vigorous shakes of the rubber chicken. Good job!

Karen, at least "A" turkey feather would be a hoot... Do they make sticky dog nip,?? Attaching the feather may be a challenge..
Huck would probably need a real chicken to go into "hunting mode" 🤣🤣

I was out early this morning to get a walk in with Elly since it's pretty warm here. We were the only ones in the park so she got some off leash time in the dog park. She was checking out the gopher holes and we came across a hole some other dog had dug.
That made me think of Meg burying the chicken under a bush.
And I laughed out loud!

Karen, it was a shame you didn't meet any turkey in the park ...
When are you getting some feathers 🦃🍂🍂 to apply to the pirate chicken?
We cannot wait for Elly's turn to ignore the chicken !!!
Love and cuddles 😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹
