Calvin & Minga; from happy to sad... Sept. - Oct. 2024
Journaling: 9/8/24 For several years Jeff & Jen have raised chickens and they had one for each of their Grands but Calvin’s Minga is the only one left and as of today Minga and friends live at Jared & Emily’s house. Following is what Emily shared on Facebook. “New friends and one old friend. Today, Calvin said to me, “Mom, my heaven is with the chickens. I’m definitely a chicken boy!””
10/17 From Emily: “And just like that, Calvin’s chicken, Minga, was killed by some loose neighborhood dogs on our property. Calvin had Minga for 5 years and is completely devastated.
10/20-10/26: While Jared & Emily were away on their anniversary trip to Cancun, Calvin & Rosie stayed with us for a few days and I bought him a stuffed chicken in honor of his precious Minga and he loves it so much. While they were away I helped take care of the other two little chicken friends but always in the back of mind I worried that while they were away something would happen to them as well. Thankfully, all remained well while Jared & Emily were away despite one day having a difficult but humorous time getting the two little ones back into their little home before bed.
Unfortunately, just a few days after they returned home tragedy struck again… On 10/27 I received the following text from Emily. “The other two chickens are dead!! A dog ripped a hole in the side of the coop again and the kiddos are devastated again.”
So in 6 weeks they went from being happy in raising chickens at their house, including Calvin’s beloved Minga, to losing all 3 of them. So very sad!
