Do you now, or have you ever owned a rubber chicken?
We have one, and our dogs are terrified of it, for some reason.

1. YES! Mrs. IconCat received one for xmas.
Actually, it's a "Chicken 'n' Egg." Our cats are totally indifferent to it.

Here is a pic of one from somebody's blog:

4. Nope
I'd like one, though.

My dog was afraid of my beavis and butthead toy remote, which played clips of the idiots from the show. Never failed to rile him up. :)

5. My 4 year old dog is about to wear out his 6th rubber chicken
For whatever crazy reason he just loves them.

I took the first one after it had been nearly destroyed and hung it in my cube at work. It stayed there for about 4 months without getting any comments - though there was one co-worker who did like to play with it. What can I say? It was an interesting experiment. And a job that I didn't particularly care for....

7. I caught one at a Mardi Gras parade once.
My Jack Russell ate it, well chewed it up. She hated it too!

9. She is a terror, but such a loyal dog. She loves to sit at my feet
when I am at the computer. I think if I died at home, she would sit next to my body and never leave, that is how loyal she is.

15. That's how my Brody is.
He's a mutt, but he's also 'Daddy's boy', a/k/a my shadow.

19. I had just had a fight with my sister, she told me I needed to get
a little bit of tolerance, so I got my baby and named her "lil bit of tolerance", Tollie for short. Believe me raising a Jack Russel pup teaches you tolerance, for hyper dogs that is! LOL

(I still have trouble with most adults. Dogs and kids, those are the only honest, unconditionally loving creatures on earth.)

14. I got one in college on a Scavenger Hunt
It was the third highest point getter on the list.

I stole it from a freshman. I never gave it back. I am feeling very bad about this now. It is is a box and I never play with it. I bet that freshman would have used it more than I. I should look him up and give it back. I don;t know his name, but it was a small school, I could find out. Now I am on a mission to return a rubber chicken.

16. I had a dog who completely ate one once
I swear I don't know what the hell that dog's stomach was made
out of.

She also completely devoured my muppet Kermit slippers.

snd

!!crunched lightbulbs (but would never digest them) because she
liked to hear the crunch!!

She was a female dog named Sherman (long story) so maybe she
was screwed up from the start.

She died this past year and I miss her greatly.

17. No, but a rubber squirrel was delivered to the dogs
.. and they went totally over board with it. "Fortunately" it was the squeeky kind, but fortunately it only took the youngest one 20 mins to break the squeeky thingie.

20. I had just the chicken foot--
I'm not really sure why. I don't want to know what happened to the reat of the chicken. It might have been sent as a message. I used it as part of a Halloween costume to put spells on people. Beware the rubber chicken foot.
