Um, a little reassurance here??
OMG!
OH NOES!
Any ever see the Dirty Jobs episode where they sex chicks and have to squeeze the poop out of 'em? I wonder if the bird pooed itself.
EGADS! I'm a little harmed by that one. Hope the lil feller is okay.
poor little chickie, he looks so confused!
that little dewd is quite literally picking up a chick!
Ummm... uhhhh...
And then they lived happily ever after.
In which Pom the pup becomes confused by the difference between a live chick and a chew toy...
I predict Commentroversy. Imminently.
LOL Adam..
And yes.. I agree with the commentroversy prediction. ugh and *sigh*
Eek! Hah, yeah. Is chicky okay? Ahh, how correct you are, thinker... let the commentraversy commence.
I wouldn't panic just yet. The chick doesn't look squished in the second picture, just held. I doubt the Pom is being any rougher with the chick then it would be with a newborn puppy.
Well, there are some breeds of dog (like retreivers) who have, by nature, a very "soft" grip, aren't there? So that, when they went hunting in the marshes for ducks with their master, they would not harm the druck, right? (Or is it revisionist-historian grey matter?) Perhaps this Pom is one of them... ?
/crosses fingers
Yeah, I think this falls under "cute or sad" - and I'm a little worried for the chickie.
But Meg would never post a picture of something being hurt because that's just not cute.
So I'll stop worrying and contributing to the commentroversy and go back to my spreadsheets .
*sigh*
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
As disturbing as the fact that the dog has the chick in its mouth is that the dog's owner left the chick there at least long enough to take the photo. I usually love what I see on this site, but what's happening in the second photo isn't amusing.
You're probably right about it just holding the chicky, Joe. Dogs do pick up their newborns with their mouths, after all. :)
Were any chicks harmed in the making of this photo?
IS THAT BLOOD?!?!?
I agree with critterlover. The second photo is DEFINITELY NOT AMUSING.
The chick does look a little squashed, but I think if it were in pain it would look more distressed-- it just looks like "Put me down!"
I hope.
Also, the duck has a look on its face like "I cannot BELIEVE we're posing like this."
Doesn't this just bring up the whole "captured moment" idea? We don't know what happened before, we don't know what happens next. We can make up stories either happy or sad, according to our desire. The story we make up probably tells us more about ourselves than about the reality of the situation.
Oops, I meant chick, I swear...haven't been off the farm THAT long.
I think Maureen's right. I am choosing to believe this is a soft kronsche moment.
where's the disclaimer "no chicks were harmed in the making of this...photo?" i'm a little distressed...
AIIEEE!
Whether or not the dog actually *bites* the chickie, mammals have bacteria in their mouths which is harmful to birds! This is why, say, letting your pet parrot eat out of your mouth is Not Recommended.
*thinks good thoughts for chickie*
the "red" is his feet. it's cute.
i'm so done with this site. you don't care what you put up here.
cute overload needs to take the "cute" out of the name.
that is absolutely a revolting picture. if you are not disgusted by that pic, then you're a poor excuse for an animal lover.
Oh...oh...tell me when it's over [Sam the Snowman shudder. With umbrella].
That is just aweful, thats not cute, its disturbing. I am appauled. That definately changed my idea of this site.
Call me a simple-minded pollyana, if you dare, but I believe that little Pommy thinks chicky is her baby.
Farewell, W.T.F.? We knew ye not at all. Oh, and LilyRose, back to the drawing board on your spelling, dearie.
Wait! I thought 'chicks rule'? Quick - bring those socks n' birkenstocks to the rescue!
And I thought it was Chick Rules in this house anyway.
ROFLMBO!
Best. Scrolldown. EVAH.
Pom: "Hey man, you're lucky my chick's here."
I think this is too darn cute. Frankly, I'm not worried about the chick at all. For one, they are pretty squishy lil dudes. For another, I seriously SERIOUSLY doubt someone would keep pictures of their pet eating another pet around for the purposes of aaaawing over them. In addition, if the chicken were in pain, I'd expect his wee wingys to be flapping and his wee beaky to be squawking, neither of which is visibile in that pic. The logical conclusion is that this is a cute, perfectly harmless pic. In fact, from the apparent calmness of the chicky, I'd not even be surprised if this had happened before.
Take a deep breath and then exhale aaaaaaaaaaaaaw.
I doubt the pictures would have been posted on the Internet if something bad happened to the little chicklette.
A little cringe-worthy, but nothing so bad as to stop coming to this site. Geez people, chill out.
We really need a picture-update section. >_<
Did anyone else hear a slight "squeak" upon the viewing of the second photo? Hee hee
I ate a chicken yesterday. It was darn good. No photos were taken of the event.
Oh, and if the dog wanted the chickie as a munchie, I am sure s/he would have gobbled the thing up in a second. I see no harm here.
OMG, exactly.
ROFL... that was definitely NOT expected.
The dog isn't biting down, it just looks that way because the chick is all fluff. Its treating the chick like a puppy.
My dog once stole a chicken while visiting a friends house, and ran all around the yard with it before they caught her. The chicken was probably a little scrambled, but it ran off without a scratch. This pic may be a chick rather than a full grown chicken, but its a very small dog being very gentle.
What is the matter with you people? This chick is clearly not being hurt. Think about it this way: how do you think that photographer knew that this event was going to happen? Do you think that a chick just randomly appeared next to this dog? No. I contend that the photographer knew exactly what was going to happen because it had happened before. Therefore (and follow along closely people), the photographer KNEW that the chick would BE JUST FINE. Good heavens. Some of you people need to chill the f*ck out. Stop pooping on the parade.
I own a pomeranian and he has the softest mouth of any dog I've ever owned. The chick is fine. If you don't know what a soft mouth is read the Big Red series.
Oh... my gosh. This made me cry. Is the chickie okay?
James, the photos are a little contraversial, yeah, but have hardly been "scraped from the bottom of the e-mail basket". Meg's a smart webmistress... you don't think she knows that she'll get probably more than three hundred comments on this single post? :P
I agree with the soft mouth theory. "Look! It's my bebeh!"
. . . you people just *thrive* on wank, don'tcha?
This is so wrong and I should be ashamed for saying it, but I sometimes think I liked this site better before everyone and his nuffingham brother discovered it. I liked the cute pix and the clever people who commentated. The cute pix and clever peeps are still here, but now they are being overrun by the ignorant masses. (web equivalent of urban sprawl?)
[runs to hide from verbal assault that is surely coming]
[hopes that maybe pudding will follow?]
Still,it is a bit disturbing. Kind of hard to see the cute in it. Sorry....
second photo NOT cute...very distressing...
