Despite how it manifests, Chicken will do anything to fulfill his desires. Not that Chicken doesn’t have the courage to approach his online crushes, we just haven’t taught him how a dating site works yet. It’s more fun seeing him strategize ways to impress a romantic interest and thinking she has a clue to what’s going on.

What do you get when you put together a chicken and a dog? Well, we don’t have to worry about which came first in this instance. What you get is a load of entertainment and a completed daily task. Not that we don’t enjoy walking the dog; we enjoy living vicariously through Chicken’s decisions to do chores in ways we would never think to do on our own.

But come on, be honest… how many times have you wished you were small enough to ride a dog down the street?

Creating art is a form of expressing one’s inner-most feelings about themselves and the world they live in. For Chicken, it’s about making a mess. There’s nothing we can’t keep Chicken from doing. If he wants to paint, let him paint. If he wants coffee, give him coffee. If he wants a pet snail, let him find his own pet snail.

The magical thing about Chicken is that, candidly, his true colors come out (no pun intended) in the process of experiencing the activity he wants to achieve. This is something we are proud to witness firsthand.

Sometimes we wish Chicken acquired the attention span of a real chicken. Grateful that he didn’t get into our vital documents, Chicken decided to play around with the shredder. Like a child is to a playground, Chicken is to the adult appliances that are created for functional use than pleasure. Of course, we enjoy shredding every now and then, and look forward to an accumulative stack to do so. We just won’t tell Chicken.
