Hi Ho...Me again.  You just can't seem to get enough of me huh?  Well, it's time once again folks for that moment of amazement, that instant of stupefaction, that ultimate period of astonishment, yes, it's time for another edition of da duh duh dum...Chester’s Chatterbox!!!  This is the exciting Easter Edition, celebrating spring.  Like my cousin Lefty always used to say, “spring iz sprung, the grass has riz, I wonder where those flowers iz.”  We called him lefty because he lost his paw in a lawnmower accident.  Perhaps he should have been wondering where that mower was.  Lefty never was too bright.  Well, before I forget, let us all congratulate our own Judy McCutchin on her recent pregnancy…Congratulations Judy!!  Hey, if it’s a boy you can name him Chester, and if it’s a girl, why, you could name her Chester as well.  (By the way, April Fools! Ha!) Hope you all enjoy our April Newsletter.  Happy Easter!

Don’t set those clocks ahead 

You know, April 1 is April Fools Day.  And, on that day, you really have to be careful that people don’t try to pull a fast one on you.  For instance, someone was telling me the other day that this year Daylight Savings Time starts on Sunday, April 1.  But, my momma didn’t raise no fool.  I saw that joke coming a mile away.  They were trying to trick me with an April Fool’s joke.  Sure, I can see it now, I innocently set my clock ahead an hour and show up early to my Sunday morning grooming session at the Clip and Dip Doggie Den, only to find out that it isn’t even open yet; and everyone has a good laugh at my expense.  So, just a word of caution folks…don’t set those clocks ahead unless you want to be the April Fool!

Dyeing for Colored Eggs

 When I was just a pup, I was fascinated by Easter and the tradition of having colored Easter eggs.  So I decided I was going to learn how to make colored eggs, though I didn’t have a clue how to.   

I knew that the Easter Bunny brought colored eggs, and that chickens were responsible for laying the eggs, so with my brilliant doggie deduction I figured that if I could get a rabbit to breed with a chicken, I would get Easter Eggs. 

Well, try as I might, I just could not get those dern rabbits to have any interest in the chickens.  I even tried bribing them with carrots but no luck.  So I figured there must be a different way. 

Next I got the brilliant idea that if I dyed the chickens different colors I was bound to get colored eggs.  (Remember folks, I was just a naive little pup).  Well, I guess I don’t need to tell you that my idea failed miserably. 

At last, I thought I had figured it out…I decided to feed the chickens colored food pellets.  This was it for sure!  I waited and waited, and waited (cause it takes a chicken a while to lay colored eggs you know).  And finally, with a fluff of feathers and scratch of her feet, one of the hens wiggled her back end and let loose with a…plop!  A purple plop, but not exactly an egg if you get my drift.  Needless to say, there were lots of colorful droppings in the yard but no colored eggs.
