I have various conversations with the French-Canadian veterinary pathologist with whom I live

Hibernation

Me: Where do chickens go in the winter?
JM: Where do you think they go?
Me: Do they ... hibernate?
JM: Yes. They make burrows in the snow.
Me: Is that true?
JM: No.

Tidying up


JM: I did a test on you by leaving that bit of paper on the floor for a week. I even moved it a bit now and then to see if you would notice it if it was in a different place.
Me: You did a test on me for about a week?
JM: Yes. You didn't pick it up.

I cannot put on gloves and hold bags at the same time so JM holds bag for a bit

Me: What would I do without you?
JM: You would probably be dead.

Sadly, he is probably right.

If my husband puts a piece of paper on the floor, he evidently wants it to be there. It is not up to me to move it.

You would be dead without him but his life would not be worth living without you.

I tactfully didn't mention the chickens.

In truth, it is better for everyone if the chickens are not mentioned.

Chickens do indeed migrate in winter. They travel aaaaallll the way to my kitchen where they crawl inside my oven. Mmmmmmmm.... I was going to make a rather awful pun about going to pot as well but I think I'll leave it there.
