I had to read this as i too had a rooster called cogburn He was a lovely red rooster and huge He was also blind and as gentle as a lamb....he lived in his own run and would walk alongside me following my voice
Thanks so much for sharing RC and Lizzy as part of the Tale Weaver's prompt. I enjoyed the story and pictures. Lizzy reminds me of a dog friend I once had.
Gail ... This is just so lovely the photo's and captions. I've looked back at it again and again. Wonderful
All the best Jan

Enjoys a tomato

His right eye is blinded

but manages with one eye just fine.
Rooster Cogburn sings his epitaph
I can endure much but not that
Since a quarter to three
He's crowed constantly
Water boils in the chicken vat!
Seriously RC is still improving. The dogs take turns protecting him. My sister brings him treats and I keep him well fed. He is only brave enough to crow after dark when the ruffians can't find him.
Today I heard Lizzy's sharp bark.
This is what I found.

Lizzy was politely telling RC that was her food.

I got the "Gee, Mom, this is my bowl!"

Lizzy finally gave up.
I wonder if she will protect him tonight?

I thought he was playing football (soccer) at first!
He is a handsome fellow!
Poor Lizzy, there is not many dogs who would put up with that.

I love that look on Lizzy's face. Poor dog. That is a beautiful rooster and I love his name.

Poor Lizzy! Dogs are usually forgiving as long as the Rooster didn't eat all her food:)
