After my lobster doodle became famous (haha), I was requested to do a Rooster Doodle. Let me explain. It is well known in my family that I DO NOT collect chicken figurines. It's a long story, but I have a few chicken items from childhood - an antique chicken soup tureen that used to belong to my mother, a chicken candy dish that me and some siblings bought for our mom many years ago, and another item that escapes my memory at the moment. Anyhoo, I had them displayed together for a number of years on top of a small hutch. I made it clear that just because I was displaying chickens, didn't mean that I was a collector and to definitely NOT to buy me chicken things. Of course, that just opened the flood gates for my hilarious family to buy me chicken stuff at every turn. One brother and sister-in-law got me a small plaster/plastic rooster as a joke. Out of spite, I've made him my travel companion. He as traveled the world with me and I have the pictures to prove it! He's like a traveling gnome - he's just a traveling rooster. In honor of dear little Rooty...here's my Rooster Doodle.
