El Gallo Sol

14 February 2012 2 Comments

Since Rachel posted this, our lovely rooster, Sol, has disappeared. We were sorry to lose him. We have no idea where he disappeared to and can only guess he met his fate. He was a beautiful guy, and we actually miss him. So do the hens, though the gallo blanco from the neighbour’s flock doesn’t seem to mind.

Conocer Sol, Da Gallo

Hiya, everybody. I’m Sol, da gallo of the flock. [Gallo means rooster in Spanish, in case you didn't know that already. And yes, I know that da isn't the proper word here... it would el, but I had to add that into my title.]

Aren’t I some handsome stuff? I’ve got all my feathers now, tail, hackles, and all!

*Clementine [red hen]: Aw, go away, Sol.

*Midnight [black hen]: Sol, give it a rest.

*Sol: You two! How dare you speak to me in such manner. I’m going to make a complaint of this to the boss.

*Clementine: Aren’t you the boss?

*Midnight: He thinks he is.

*Sol: HMPH!

and… just for fun:

    I will let her know of your question. Does she know you personally?
