This is a cool thread!!! Sorry about the bunny, Gayle!!!

I raised chickens growing up, and of all those chickens, two were named. You should never name anything you plan to eat. It just doesn't work. My rooster, Roostie, did get butchered, but he was mixed in with a bunch of chickens that got butchered the same day, so if I ate him, I never knew when. My little hen, Witsie, lived for about 12 years. If she'd been alive when Rex and I married, she'd have been in a decorated cage at the back of the church building, but alas, she passed before the big day.
