Today I went for a run and afterwards I came back to my room to sit do some abs and stretch. Just as I sat down on my yoga mat I thought I saw a small shadow in the light coming from underneath my door. At the same time I heard a chirping at the other side. Confused at what it could be, I opened the door and standing in front of me was a pollito (baby chicken)!
As soon as the door opened he began walking in my room towards me. Step by step he circled around me, until I got him to walk back out of my room with me. I was afraid he’d get lost under my bed and I’d never find him. All day he followed me around the yard, I went to wash my dishes and he followed me to the sink. I went to walk back to my room and he followed me there too. It was so adorable, I think he was looking for his mother.
I found out later that my brother had won the baby chicken in a raffle type game in the plaza the day before. At night my brother made him a little house to sleep in so he wouldn’t get cold at night. It must have not been warm enough because the next morning, Teo found the poor little guy dead in our backyard. :(
Oh how precious life is…..
