I wish dogs wouldn't eat anythin' they find in front of 'em. Poor Tiger's been lookin' poorly ever since 'e laid into those cupcakes yesterday. But...they 'elped people, didn't they? All that's over now? Still ain't sure what was 'appenin'.


...that was your letter put up all over the City, weren't it, Penny? D'you think they'll really listen this time? If only they would. Never thought they'd listen to reason, but if it makes any difference at all, 's worth it. Better'n people blowin' things up, that's for certain.

Yeah, kind of.

There's one that's been hanging around outside my bedroom window. Seems lonely.

[an amused sigh] Pigeons can't be that 'ard to look after next to all those sheep we 'ad in 'ere.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Smaller, anyway!

Have I told you lately that you're awesome?

[freckleddoll]

[laughing] Yeah, I think you 'ave. Guess this means we need to give the pigeon a name?

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Then I guess I can wait a few more hours before telling you again.

If he wants to stay, yep! Have any pigeon names?

[freckleddoll]

Really are goin' to turn my 'ead at this rate, ya know.

...ain't sure. What kind of name suits a pigeon?

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm working towards!

I don't know. I've never named one before. ...Really? I don't even know if it's a guy pigeon or a girl pigeon.

[freckleddoll]

Somethin' that'd suit either, then? Spot, or...somethin' simple.

Something like that?  Maybe stripes (http://img.banjig.net/d/bb/user_uploads/246538/pigeon1_b2eb97dd.jpg).  Rings.  Ringo would be awesome if that wasn't such a gender-exclusive name.

[freckleddoll]

Any of those are fine. 'sides, don't think she'd really mind if she was a girl an' we called 'er Ringo.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Ringo it is!

Weird, though. He or she doesn't like spaghetti. The pigeons at home didn't mind it.

[freckleddoll]

Maybe City pigeons just like different kinds of food?

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Or maybe Los Angeles pigeons aren't picky.

Birdseed works for all birds, doesn't it?

[freckleddoll]

An' breadcrumbs too, should think.

Oh yeah! Thank you!
