Sivapoo, Patchae, Larry, and Hot Mama

Coolest thing ever: dyed chicks! So, I was taken with the extremely cute and extremely affordable neon painted chicks that are sold everywhere from marketplaces to roadside shops. Yes, you read correctly – dyed chicks! Forget the eggs, why not have Easter year-round and paint the little chickens instead. Ok, so I had a cute and colorful collection starting with Larry and Hot Mama. I, of course, named Hot Mama (she was hot pink), and either Cade or Sara named the neon green chick Larry after the Veggie Tales’ well-loved cucumber. Unfortunately Hot Mama and Larry don’t like rain or waterfalls, because after a tragic night of rain, we lost Larry and in the depression from losing her brother, Hot Mama also threw in the towel. I, on the other hand, was bound and determined to keep chicks – though everyone knows they don’t last beyond 3, maybe 4 days. Henceforth, the purchase of Sivapoo and Patchae (sivapoo = “red” in Tamil, patchae = “green” in Tamil). Unfortunately, in another tragic turn of events, both are now deceased – though I did get to practice my Tamil colors in the meantime.
