It's been a year since my Malarki died...

And I miss him!  :(

We received him as a gag gift for our (fake) 'shotgun' wedding in 1999.  He lived 8 years and I swear I still miss him. 

He would meet me at my car when I got home and Lilli would always save something to feed him...part of her snack or a french fry.  He wouldn't eat it though, he'd call his hens over so they could eat.  He might be starving, but he would never eat before he fed his hens. 

He had 3-inch spurs but he was the sweetest little guy.  Oh, he did spur our Jack Russell Terrier once, but the dog was trying to eat with the hens (we'd thrown out bread scraps).  Malarki didn't really appreciate the dog eating food that was for his hens.  LOL.

All of our talk about getting chickens has me missing him.  Lilli and I are going to make a sign for our chicken coop that says, "Malarki's Legacy".  

We were just talking about that the other day.  She wants to draw a picture of Malarki on it for me.  She's so sweet.  :)
