My Favourite Story - The chickenDALE (part 1)

I would like to share with you my favourite bedtime story.


The story goes like this:

Once upon a time, there was a crazyDALE whose name we will not mention.

She used to FLY down these slippery wooden stairs whenever she hears someone at the door.



There were times when she would slip and miss a few steps at a time and hit the wall, then bounce off the wall down few more steps, then bounce off the other wall, and miss a few more steps until she gets to the bottom. If you have played one of those pinball machines, you would know what I'm talking about.

The crazyDALE's caretaker got very worried because the crazyDALE had a bad leg. She worried the crazyDALE might hurt herself. So the caretaker started blocking off the entrance to the stair way once the crazyDALE was upstairs. By doing so, every time the crazyDALE needed to go downstairs, she would be accompanied by her caretaker.

As time went on, the crazyDALE disappeared, and a new hybrid emerged.......

MEET,





The chickenDALE whose name we will again not mention has somehow convinced herself that the only way to get down these stairs is for all 64 lbs of meat to be in the arms of her caretaker. Otherwise, she makes those sounds that chickens make when they're being slaughtered......

Sometimes, the chickenDALE does give it a good try to go down those scaaaaawie stairs....

Unfortunately, her caretaker always ends up having to carry her down.

What's really interesting is that the chickenDALE is only chicken with the stair way that goes from the first floor to the second floor, and she never has problems going "up". She is also completely fine going down the stairs from the first floor to the basement. The surface material is completely the same with the two stairways.





I personally think the chickenDALE has a mental block. Since her caretaker never had to block the stairway down to the basement or carry her down those stairs, the thought of her not being able to do those stairs never came across her mind. Same thing with going "up" the stairs with both stairways. It's only going down from the second floor to the first floor that the chickenDALE has a problem with because that's when the stairway was blocked and she had to be helped down. I guess this is the reason why those hoomans say dogs are very specific animals??

Anyway, this is my favourite story because it makes me feel good. I mean, a SuperDALE like me would never make noises like THAT!! I know that chickeDALE looks like me, and I don't know why the crazy lady was calling her my name, but I can assure you that, it was NOT me you saw in the videos!! BELIEVE ME!
